Recipies for kids

Dd wants to compose her own cookbook, so instead of just copying all my recipies for her, I'd like her to fill it with recipies of foods she can make by herself (or with minimal involvement from a grown up).

So far we have Cheeze cake & Crab Salad.

I'm out of ideas and will appreciate any easy recipies.

Easy means:

~ minimal cutting w/ sharp knive (dull knive - ok)
~ minimal use of food processor/ mixer (not something like kugel, where I would have to superwise the entire shredding/ mixing process)
~ no frying/ melting/ other stove use (as in, melt chocolate, poor into batter). Cooking rice for a salad is fine)
~ minimal veggetable peeling, as kids get tired of that quickly.

Basically, I'd like her to work independently (of course, I'll be around).

thanks in advance!

Dd is 6 and her bro is 3, these are a few of their favorites to make:

Pizza - make the dough in the bread machine or have it ready to go for the kids. They roll it out, spread tomato sauce on, cheese, mushrooms, olives and bake.

Shishlik - give them skewers and they can put on all kinds of veggies, chicken marinated in terriaki sauce, good to go on the broiler.

Matzah balls - especially the ones with a mix ;) . Dd reads the directions, adds all the ingredients, lets it sit in the fridge for fifteen minutes, and then rolls them into balls (I drop them into the boiling water for her).

I find most of the recipes in KBD for kids require a lot of stuff that a 7 year old is too young to do. I might let a 12 year old use that cookbook. I am not a big KBD fan, as I find everything to be patchkedik.

duncan hines??? that was about all that i could make at age 7.

i can't wait until my dd starts baking! she begs me to let her wash the dishes, sometimes i let her, but that means i usually have to do it over again anyway.

i remember seeing a thread somewhere (not necc on this forum) about whether an under Bar/Bas Mitzvah kid is able to check eggs for blood. Don't know if there was a conclusion, so ask a LOR.

My 8 year-old can make these with minimal assistance: Muddy Buddies. We make it for "game night" at our house. There is melted chocolate, but it's in the microwave.

Oh, and the Bina Bunch magazine has a recipe for kids every week. I'll see if we have some older ones lying around.

I thought I had a good pie one but I can't find it. If I do I'll post it. Something like.. pie crust, cut up bananas, melt chocolate and some whip, pour over bananas, freeze, make pudding with whip, add to frozen chocolate, refrigerate, add whip, take a decorate with chocolate shaving or other.

What about muddy buddies Chex cereal, 1 zip lock bag. Melt chocolate and peanut butter, mix in chex cereal, add powdered sugar, shake well.. yummy snack.

I don't think it's an issue in the US. I am around & keep an eye on her though, all the time, and last time we baked literally cought a bloody egg white, as it was falling into the bowl.
