Toasted Muffaletta Sliders. Chicken Noodle Soup - Sweet Potato Chronicles. I'm a big believer in not feed­ing kids "kid food" — know what I mean? I never order from the kids' menu in restau­rants. I think a par­ent is their own worst enemy if they never allow their kid's palate to extend beyond noo­dles, cheese and ketchup (how my daughter's tastes run if left to her own devices).

Predictably, this Green Tea Mint Lemonade is the exception. Ingredients (serves 6-8): 1/2 cup packed fresh mint 1 cup sugar 2 cups water, divided 1 cup fresh lemon juice 8 cups iced green tea (or other iced tea) Instructions:Combine mint leaves, sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan, then bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
