Really, I’m a warm weather girl. I want summer to last forever, and the Labor Day/back to school mark means these days are numbered. But all the different seasons have their comfort foods, and if I can’t have the warm weather, at least I can look forward to a warm bowl of carbs or soup on a cozy winter night.
This week, we themed the menu around the kids. The first day of school is an exciting yet jittery day and I want mine well fueled and nurtured.
But even if you’re not making this for kids, don’t we all love the kids menu?!
Happy Cooking!

This salad “happens” when a turkey on a pretzel roll sandwich marries a Caesar salad. That’s all there is to it.
Extra Crispy Chicken Nuggets from the Dining In Cookbook
On the kid-friendly scale, these extra crispy chicken nuggets definitely rate a 10. Serve with ketchup or duck sauce because dipping is FUN!
Meatballs in Spaghetti Nests by Sara Wasserman
No child can refuse this dish: Falafel-flavored meatballs in spaghetti nests. It’s fun to prepare and fun to eat.
Fudge Cookies by Brynie Greisman
These cookies have a perfect consistency — chewy and crispy at the same time. They taste great straight from the freezer and they are a real crowd-pleaser!
Kiddush Gummy Bears by Victoria Dwek
We love the idea of turning the iconic Kedem grape juice into a treat that adds to the excitement of Shabbat. These gummy bears are easy and inexpensive to make!
