I just made little sticks from the croissant dough (baked with mex spice on top and cheese), they were nice and soft but she wasn't too impressed . Yum, were they good...
Anybody has any particularly yummy recipes for scones or other small and nice things to bake? My kiddo is just starting to eat after a week of flu, lost a lot of weight since she had fever 7days, want to make her sumfin nice..
this is delicious, comforting in winter and I can attest, will help your daughter rapidly gain weight

How about some pancakes (thin and small) with maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered shuga on them?
Or some pretzel bread fom Coop....yumm
Oh man, that looks good..I hope she eats them since I won't be able to resist
Yup, also because they're dippers they're pretty fun for kids to eat.
Hey there....sorry to hear the little one has been so sick. That is the absolute pits.
Check out these sites. There are loads of delicious recipes from all parts of the world. The first is dedicated to baking...the other two are just full of delicious recipes and tips. The latter of the 3 is a foodie based in Paris so her ingredients are typically fairly easy to source here (I definitely recommend her carrot/avocado salad with tofu, but add a little soy sauce to the dressing mix. Yum!)

You won't be sorry. I promise.

Yeah, you are right. The thing is, I am not the pancake maker in our family, haha, gota refresh my pancake knowledge. I was also thinking peanut butter cookies, but they might taste too strong.
Ginger cookies! With lots of ginger in them! My cookbooks are at home but this recipe looks fairly close.
Don't worry about allspice and cloves if you don't have them (but do put the black pepper in!); increase the molasses by a tablespoon or so (since "brown sugar" isn't as moist here); and add about a half cup of chopped crystallized ginger.
Oh yeah, it is xmas all over again..Good idea, thanks. I even have fresh ginger in my fridge, that might work, too, maybe?
Thanks, Rebecca, the sites look great!
Has anyone notice when their kid is NOT eatring they themselves are eating like a horse? I should really quit polishing off her leftovers, my body will have to pay for it on the eliptical laters, auch.
Ooops! I thought this was your eats-strong-flavored-anything kid.
Snickerdoodles then? This recipe looks very similar to the one I have at home, except mine uses baking powder instead of soda+cream of tartar. (2 teaspoons of baking powder.)
absolutely... I wouldn't use a half cup of fresh ginger though! Maybe start with about 3 tablespoons, and go from there.
Hi
I love this food blog:
I'm sure you can find some great tasty treats here and the photograhy is also delicious! I made the apple muffins last week and they went down a storm with the kids, hubby (oh, and er me!) and they felt vaguely healthy with apple chunks and wholemeal flour.
Happy baking!
I know, weird..Must be her giant head cold killing the taste buds, or what. You know, that's why I actually made her something "raclette" tasting, hoping she would eat those butter dough sticks with a ton of smelly cheese on top of'em
Makes me think of apple strudel, got apples, even rest of the butter leaf dough, sirup, cinnamon, if my kid helps me cook I bet she eats some..
Wow...now. That is really sabotaging my "get rid of the 3kilos" plan, seriously. It looks great. I can't find the apple muffins..What I am doing wrong?
..here you are:
http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/04/wh...apple-muffins/
you can put it into the search little google search bar on the homepage, or under recipes ( http://smittenkitchen.com/recipes/ ) you can see all her stuff arranged by recipe type (breakfast, cakes, eggs, muffins etc...)
Something simple, and really quite yummy is rice pudding. We made some last night with risotto rice, apricots, honey and saffron. We also use 1.5% fat milk, but if you want something a little richer, you can use whole milk, or even part cream. She may not like the saffron, so sugar and dried fruits are also good.
You can make it with crushed dates and walnuts and replace the sugar with date honey.
This is a scone recipe I got from a Canadian inn cookbook by a Swiss chef (!):
http://argusworld.blogspot.com/2008/...-break-my.html
It's very tender if you don't overmix.
And then cinnamon sugar buns (make it as mild or sweet as your little one likes):

(Yep, that's my pic on the page. )
Thinking of the dipping being fun idea, maybe get some pita bread (or similar flat bread) at the grocery, along with whatever pizza toppings your lil one likes to make some mini pizzas that she can help "build". Since the bread is already cooked the cooking time is mostly just a matter of melting the cheese.
Also, as a kid, I loved a meal my mom used to make called "cheese boats"... using french / "po boy" rolls cut in half, she topped each half with a mixture of onions, mayo, pizza cheese and sliced salami, baked until the cheese melted. This we had with minestrone soup so it was fun and (semi?) nutritious at the same time.
If my sister or I had been ill our mum used to make us a boiled egg with soldiers (toast cut into strips) which you then dip into the yolk. Fun food; and the egg is pretty nutritious for someone who has been off colour for a few days.
