For a playdate, Tregaye Fraser makes healthy snacks that will appeal to both the kids and the parents. She uses sweet potato slices as crostini topped with cheese and pecans, and she makes flavored butter for popcorn.
Ree Drummond is making quick, easy and fun food on the ranch, where the kids help shoot the show and Ladd drops by to see what's cooking. The Greek Salad is roasted, and her Sesame Noodles with Mushrooms are stir-fried. Plus, Ree makes breaded Buffalo Fried Mozzarella Bites and takes some fantastic shortcuts with a towering, frozen King of the Ranch Turtle Pie.
We miniaturized our kids' favorite meal into party-sized poppers. Big and little kids can help by measuring the ingredients, stirring them together and filling the muffin liners.
