Preparing foods for our children can be tricky at times. As moms, we want to serve meals, snacks, and desserts, that are as healthy as possible while also providing a bit of fun and a wallop of flavor. I have searched the Internet for recipes that meet at least one of these requirements, and even found a few which have all three qualities. Enjoy experimenting, and have fun running taste-tests with your children!
