A Great Resource For Children's Recipes

If you have kids like me, then you probably know that it's not always easy to get them to eat balanced.  You really need to not only get creative, but include them in the food preparation, when at all possible.  Have your kids ever went into the kitchen, prepared something for themselves, that lets be honest makes you gag at the thought of eating it, and then see them devour it, saying it was terrific.  It just goes to show kids like to "play with their food" and be apart of the cooking process.  I recently discovered a wonderful online site, Whisked Foodie, that shares great childrens recipes.  For example, they share a recipe for these kid friendly Rainbow Fruit Pops, pictured above.  Made with 100% pure fresh fruit, and no added sugar, these pops are sure to please both parents and kids.

Light and Affordable Chicken Corn Potato Chowder

You can prepare this light chowder in the crock pot or on your stove top. I love using my crock pot in the warmer months, since it won't heat up your home like an oven will.  

This chowder is on the lighter side, using lean chicken, low fat milk, no salt added corn, light sour cream, and heart healthy Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup. I love soup and chowders, but hate how much sodium and fat can often be found in them.  Preparing your own is easy, and lets you control the fat and salt content.

I served our chowder with sour dough cracked wheat toast, crackers, a little crumbled cooked bacon and cheddar cheese, however it's great all on it's own.  This recipe will make one large crock pot full of chowder, about 17 cups!  

This easy and super tasty chowder costs less then a dollar for a 1 cup serving!  

I found all of my ingredients for this recipe at Walmart.
