The recipes are organized into three sections: Easy; Intermediate; and Advanced. They range from Pineapple Popsicles; Quick Energy Trail Mix; and Mini Pepperoni Pizzas; to Chili Cheese Popcorn; Yogurt Fruit Kabobs; and Gooey Granola Bars.
Recipe books usually fly off the shelf here. It is nice to have a book with illustrations to help younger readers get through the recipe. I like it because it adds the food pyramid and nutrition notes. It also gives illustrations to the cooking utensils one might need plus some glossary words. Most importantly it has a note to parents about children cooking.

This has some easy and yummy looking recipes for kids to do with limited adult assistance. I got some good ideas myself in this one, including a pimento cheese dip. Nice illustrations, too!

This has some great easy foods for kids. I especially liked the quesadilla bites, the pepperoni pizza, chili cheese popcorn and the parmesan pita chips.
