THE MICRO A WAY \W LANI BLOOMER , Let The Kids Cook Dinner! Teaching your children to cook is really terrific for them.

Boys like to cook as much as girls (if they’re given a chance!) and need to leam. A newly divorced man I met recently points out why; he’d never cooked GLENWOOD METALS Custom Cut Metal Roofing & Siding Available In: anything in his life, and at 30, he suddenly has to learn. So cut out these two recipes, hand them to your children and tell them it’s their turn to cook dinner next weekend. If you want to go all the way, have them make out a grocery list and let them do the shopping too! Both recipes are easy to make, and are kid tested for taste and technique. Younger children may need help chopping the onion (use frozen chopped if necessary). Once they’ve tried each recipe “as is” teach them to be creative cooks by substituting other ingredients. One day “make do” with what you have on hand in your cupboard. Another day, plan changes and purchase ingredients if necessary. Use a can of tuna or spam in the casserole instead of the hot dogs; try different vegetables or a dif ferent type of cheese. In the Crunchy Champs, add some miniature marshmallows, or try using butterscotch chips or dif ferent cereal. Serve this casserole with fruit and Crunchy Champ cookies for dessert. You’ll have a well balanced meal that’s easy to fur. Make the cookies ahead of time, so they can chill and be cut for dinner.
