Useful Tip
When creating recipes that will make the Hubby and me happy as well as the kiddos, I tend to split the basic recipe in half and add whatever to each batch. For example, with this muffins recipe, I divided the batter in half, adding a half a cup of chocolate chips to the kid’s batter and leaving ours alone.
If I am making something spicy like Mexican Shredded Chicken I’ll do the exact same thing. I’ll split the dish in half and add spices to our half while leaving the kids side alone!
