Recipes: For Kids

Being a very picky eater growing up and now being the parent of two young children, I completely understand the challenges of finding kid-friendly recipes that are both nutritious and great tasting. Below are a list of our favourite kid-friendly recipes that will stand the test of the children's standards. Kid-friendly recipes are also a great way to include kids in the cooking process.

	Recipe: Chocolate Crinkles With cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate, these chocolate crinkle cookies are rich, moist and simply irresistable.
	Recipe: Gingerbread Cookies I don't like my Gingerbread to be too strong or too hard, hence I reduce the molasses a bit, and use egg yolks to give them a little extra richness.
	Recipe: Blondie Train Cake Although these blondies can be made without the train mould, the mould adds a lot of fun and a gourmet feel to a pretty easy recipe.
	Recipe: Caramel Shortbread For my caramel shortbread, I changed things slightly by making a brown sugar shortbread with a homemade caramel sauce. The brown sugar added a little flavour and a bit of a crunch.
	Recipe: Chocolate Truffles This year we decided to get a little more creative with the truffles and make milk chocolate, white chocolate, baileys, chocolate orange, mint chocolate and some variations on each (white shell on milk centre etc...).
