*For my vegetarian parents and families, try this recipe with MorningStar Hickory BBQ Riblets! (Or just make it without the bacon, it'll still be yummy!)
Your children would enjoy helping you make this one! Getting your kids to help out in the kitchen is a great way to build family bonds, and keep your children communicating openly for the rest of their lifes.
This is great for picky eaters as well. If they help pick out foods or help out making the meals, they will be more willing to try and eat new foods!
