Kid-Friendly Recipe: Butterflies & Trees Pasta

Share & Help Me Grow

Kid-friendly meal ideas

I wish I could take the credit for this healthy, kid-friendly recipe but I can’t because I owe all the credit to Abby Cadabby! I adapted it from her recipe in Sesame Street “C” is for Cooking, 40th Anniversary Edition.

This is an easy lunch or dinner that my children always enjoy and now that they are old enough, the kids can even help me prepare some of it.

The hardest part is scoring the baby carrots and then slicing them so they look like flowers.
