Another take on Peter Brady’s favorite…

Serve with Super-sized Eggrolls.

Today, lunchtime will be interactive and dip-a-licious!

Rachael says, “My friend Mollie makes these pancakes for her two girls, 3-year-old twins Isabel and Maya. The girls are great eaters, but even the best eaters demand pancakes in between breakfasts of scrambles, yogurt, fruit or oatmeal. Mollie’s solution for giving her girls the food they need to start their day while giving them what they want (which is pancakes) is to ignore the directions on the back of the box. Where it says add one egg, she adds more and where it says add water, she adds milk, bumping up the protein for her girls’ start of their day. In addition, she stirs in plenty of fresh fruits for fiber. Good idea, Mol – thanks for sharing!”

This sweet breakfast tastes delicious all year round, but it’s easy enough for kids to make (with just a little help from a grown-up helper!) for a special breakfast-in-bed treat for Mom or Dad.

Thanksgiving for four, for any day of the year! At Yum-o!, we believe in all things in moderation. Special treats like the Cran-applesauce Sundaes included in this recipe are to be eaten once in a while and only after you’ve been a good eater the rest of the time. That’s why it’s called a treat!

This pork stew comes out equally tasty made with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Its savory-sweetness will appeal to everyone at the table.

Rachael says, "One sunny afternoon at the Central Park Zoo, I went head-to-head with a zoologist in a polar bear cook off. The bears loved my meal and I won the throw down! If the polar bears like it, I bet the kids will, too! I did modify it a bit. Their fish was whole – head and all. Otherwise, the ingredients are pretty much the same: watermelon, peppers, cereal and fish. Sounds weird, but it’s YUM-O!" This recipe is featured in the 40th Anniversary edition of Sesame Street’s C is for Cooking cookbook!

This menu is based on the back-in-the-day idea of a good, square meal: meat, vegetable and starch. The flavors have all gotten an update, though!

Rollover Suppers are meals from which the leftovers can be turned into a second or even a third night’s meal with entirely different flavor. This meal is part three of a series that begins with Jerk Chicken with Roasted Vegetables and Pineapple and Sweet and Spicy Sesame Noodles with Shredded Chicken.

Rollover Suppers are meals from which the leftovers can be turned into a second or even a third night’s meal with entirely different flavor. Add a DVD of Johnny Depp as a pirate and you’ve got a night in the Caribbean with this recipe, plus a head start on two more nights’ meals! Make this meal the first night, followed by Sweet and Spicy Sesame Noodles with Shredded Chicken on the second night and Jerk Chicken Quesadillas with Slaw Salad on the final night.

Spread this toaster topper on your choice of the following whole wheat or whole grain toasted options: English muffins, toast or even bagels. Plain cream cheese? What a bore! Stir it up and bump up the fiber and vitamins in your toaster toppers. You can also try the Veggies for Breakfast: Asian Veggie Spread toaster topper, Veggies for Breakfast: Bunny Spread or BLT Spread.

The orange-soy glaze on these pork chops is delish! Easy homemade applesauce and green beans with oven-roasted potatoes complete this meal that is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Don’t let these quesadillas fool you – they make a perfect lunch or snack! The crisp and sweet apples are delicious with the savory pepper Jack cheese. Feel free to mix and match different flavors of jelly, or even different flavors of cheese.
