Cooking Up Fun: Easy Recipes for Parents & Kids

Pizza Quesadillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices (or other favorite toppings: mushrooms, olives, ham, etc.)
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Place a tortilla in the skillet and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on half. Sprinkle cheese and add toppings. Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Let cool slightly, then cut into wedges and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

HONEY MUSTARD DIP

  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt

Have kids carefully thread the veggies onto skewers in a rainbow pattern. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, honey, and mustard for a simple dipping sauce. Serve the skewers with the dip and enjoy!


COTTON CANDY FIZZ

A magical drink that fizzes and changes color!

  • 1 can lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
  • Handful of cotton candy (any color)
  • Ice cubes

Fill a clear glass with ice cubes. Have kids place a fluffy piece of cotton candy on top of the glass (but don’t drop it in yet!). Pour the soda over the cotton candy and watch it dissolve in a fizzy, colorful swirl.

Stir and enjoy a magical transformation!
