Kidnetic.com
"Designed for kids nine to twelve and their families, Kidenetic.com promotes a healthy lifestyle through "healthy eating and active living." The fastest way to the recipe section is through the link at the very center of the very top of the page. I was impressed with the new ideas in Breakfast Bonanza,and Brown Bag Specials, since these two meals are a recurring problem area for many of us. Other valuable clicks are those in Top Kitchen Tips: "How to Do Stuff Cooking Techniques," and "4Ways to Keep Your Food Safe.""

KCTS Learning Quest: Popcorn Science!
"Tom Charouhas’ classroom at Rose Hill Junior High in Redmond, Washington was filmed testing the "popability" of bargain brand and gourmet popcorn. Do the kernels of Brand A or Brand B pop more efficiently? Efficiency was measured by calculating the percent of unpopped kernels, and by comparing pre-pop and post-pop mass. In addition to watching the Real Audio video clip, you can pick up printable lab packets, hypotheses worksheets, and grading rubrics."

Jell-O Kids Cooking Fun
"If you are ready to go beyond Jell-O with bananas sliced into it, this site is for you. This collection of kid-approved Jell-O recipes includes a chocolate pudding dirt cup topped with gummy worms that is my daughter’s perennial (restaurant) favorite. Each recipe lists preparation time, elapsed time, and skill level required. Additional (and more difficult) Jell-O recipes can be found in the Kraft Cookbook using the ingredient search function."

Ice Cream History and Folklore
"Much of the early history of ice cream remains unproven. One folktale tells of a sumptuous state banquet hosted hundreds of years ago by Charles I of England. "After much preparation, the King’s French chef had concocted an apparently new dish. It was cold and resembled fresh-fallen snow but was much creamier and sweeter than any other after-dinner dessert. The guests were delighted, as was Charles, who summoned the cook and asked him not to divulge the recipe for his frozen cream. The King wanted the delicacy to be served only at the Royal table and offered the cook 500 pounds a year to keep it that way." In the end, however, the cook did not keep his promise. Poor Charles fell into disfavor and was beheaded in 1649."

"Yum! Chocolate is always in season. Although delicious sounding, these recipes are not specifically for kids, so plan on lots of supervision. After perusing the featured recipe, choose a holiday (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza) from the vertical menu on the right-hand side. The site also offers a personalized online recipe box to store your favorite Hershey recipe (free registration required) and a free email newsletter which includes a Kids in the Kitchen section."

Hanukkah Donuts
"The young State of Israel has created many of its own customs. One is serving Hanukkah sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), which are fried in oil to symbolize the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days instead of one. This holiday tradition reflects Israel’s melding of East and West. The fritter is of Sephardic origin. But the jelly filling and sugar coating come from European immigrants who ate apricot-filled glazed doughnuts on Hanukkah. This sufganiyot recipe from Epicurious divides the work into adult and child steps."
