What are some fun and easy recipes for a busy babysitter?

Question

Im babysitting a ten year old, a five year old, and a 7 year old. I need some fun and easy recipes! Please help!

Theyre coming later tonight.

Answer 1

hot dogs, sloppy joes, mac n' cheese, cheeseburgers, oven fried chicken

I would suggest you do something that the kids can help you with that way you don't have to be worrying about what they're up to while you're cooking.

Answer 2

You should prepare foods that the kids can help out with! Make a chicken salad and have the kids stuff pita shells with some shredded lettuce, chicken salad, and top w/ some shredded cheese. (Depending on the kid, and yourself you can throw in a slice of tomato).

A fun way to prepare celery is w/peanut butter spread inside and stick raisins inside the peanut butter. Yummy and fun.

Or simple veggies w/dip.

You can also prepare homemade pizza's and let the kids pick out their own toppings!

Another idea, taco salads! Pile up the goodies (refried beans, taco meat-I like shredded chicken w/taco seasoning mix, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, and any other veggies you can sneak past the kids). Surround the plate with tortilla chips.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 4

Let them help you make english muffin pizza.

sauce the english muffin add a few pepperonis and some mozzarela cheese. Bake til cheese melted.

Snack
Take about a cup powered sugar and mix it with a drop of milk at a time until it is a spreadable consistency.
Spread on graham crackers and make a cookie sandwich.

Answer 5

I do make your own pizzas. Let each child have a piece of dough or tortilla and let them put sauce and cheese and toppings on. Incorage them to make designs or letters with the toppings. I also like to make sandwiches and use large cookie cutters to make them into shapes and take off the crust. Also if time is a factor, you can never go wrong with spagetti or hamburger helper! Good luck!

Answer 6

Snickerdoodles are always good. Kids can help with rolling the dough in the cinnamon sugar and then putting them on the baking sheets. If you like that idea, there's plenty of recipes for them on other sites, so I won't try to type one here for you.

Answer 7

Vegetable bugs.
Set out chopped veggies and fruits (like you would for appetizers) and toothpicks to let them make 'bugs'. But the rule is you have to eat the bugs you make

Answer 8

make chocolate covered prerzles. Just put the white and black chocolate on the chkered pretzles and put it in the oven on 200 degrees. Look up ice cream sandwich cake on the internet and also make that.
