With the kids home in the summer and Fourth of July this weekend, thought it would be fun to make them some extra special treats. Found so many great ideas. These festive recipes will surely be a hit with most kids. Best part is they can have fun helping! Do you have a kid friendly recipe you’d like to share? Leave a comment below.
Hamburgers Using Kale as a Binder Instead of Bread Crumbs
We’ve been experimenting to find an alternative to adding bread crumbs as a binder to homemade hamburgers and found a fabulous ingredient…. KALE! Sounds a bit weird, I know, but this super green combined with a bit of fresh cilantro adds a wonderful, smoky flavor and you end up with a tasty, moist burger that’s low carb and gluten free! These Kale Beef Burgers have become a quick family favorite.
Your kids will get a kick out of seeing a table covered in green food and they might be surprised by all of the foods they like that are green! Here’s a selection of green treats you can make for a fun lunch or afternoon snack on St. Patrick’s Day. And they can easily be gluten free so no one feels left out! Most of these are simple and require little preparation. Of course, we tossed in a few green ideas for dessert!
I was craving something crispy and crunchy tonight and am trying to stay away from carbs so I decided to make some crispy kale chips.
I usually buy just green organic kale as that is what I’ve normally seen used in most recipes I find on the internet. This time, I already had a bag of organic rainbow kale I’d purchased earlier in the week. This bag, which I found at Walmart of all places, has three types of organic kale: green, red and dinosaur (flat kale). I thought I would try this and see how it works. My kale chips were deliciously nutty flavored and totally hit the spot! And, my kids practically devoured them before I could get some for myself so I had to make a second batch!
