Chicken Quesadilla — Quesadillas are one of our favorite kid-friendly recipes because they're just so gosh-darn versatile! Whether you're packing up a picnic or just want a snack to munch on, these tortilla munchies sure hit the spot. (Page 17)

Hot Dog Kebabs — Not your usual kebabs, these Hot Dog Kebabs are fun and colorful, and they taste great, too! You'll love the flavor-packed sauce over bite-sized pieces of hot dogs, bell peppers, corn and onions for a sure-fire hit with the kids and everybody! (Page 11)

Dirt Cups — It's back-to-school time, so why not have a little fun with the kids when they get home? They'll really "dig" making these. (Page 7)
Popcorn Lollipops — Popcorn is a whole grain, making it a good choice when reaching for a snack. Popcorn Lollipops are a meet-in-the-middle treat that includes a few indulgences to satisfy our cravings without going overboard! (Page 12)
Sundae Surprise Cups — The next time the kids ask for more ice cream, tell 'em you've got one of your favorite kid-friendly recipes at home. This frozen treat beats waiting in line at the local ice cream shop but tastes just as good. (Page 9)
