*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***Today I have a great recipe for kids that sneaks new
stuff in for picky eaters (I have one of them). I haven't
met a kid yet that doesn't like rice and since they're more
likely to be open to tasting new stuff if it's chopped into
little pieces and with something they already like this
CONFETTI RICE is a great one to try. Add 2 cups of cubed
cooked chicken, beef or sausage and you've got yourself a
full one-dish-wonder too. Peek below for a great banana
recipe I had never even heard of but can definitely see
next to some vanilla ice cream too!
Enjoy!

SKINNY BANANAS (cooked in the skins ;o)Here's a cool way for kids to enjoy the underripe
bananas. You can bake them and flavor with cinnamon.
Chocolate fans can even substitute a handful of
chocolate chips for the cinnamon and brown sugar.
2 under-ripe bananas
Cinnamon
Brown sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the unpeeled
bananas lengthwise and lay them, sliced side up, in
an ungreased pie plate. Sprinkle the bananas with
cinnamon and brown sugar, then bake for 20 minutes.
Serve the bananas--skin and all--on a plate and let
your kids eat the meat with a fork.
