Kids love superheroes! Even better, kids love being superheroes. Donna Glass has written a cookbook with that in mind. Be a Superhero in the Kitchen enlists kids in helping to make the food that they eat. She starts her book with a list of superhero cooking tips including the tip to make sure to ask for help when needed because teamwork is awesome. Each recipe is laid out simply on one page with ingredients and instructions. Many spreads include some superhero tips in speech bubbles that suggest ways to personalize the recipe. There are healthy kid-friendly main and side dishes as well as some yummy deserts and a punch recipe.

Be a Superhero in the Kitchen by Donna Glass is truly a cookbook written for kids. What kid would not want to try making Crime Fighter’s Cookie Fluff? The recipes are original and not overwhelming. Each recipe has minimal ingredients and simple directions. The recipes themselves, while including some healthy ingredients, will be things kids want to eat, especially because they will have a hand in making them. The illustrations by Alejandro Chamberlain are spot-on. They showcase a diverse group of families, and kids will love the fun superhero costumes! I especially loved the colander on the head. Parents are often looking for ways to get food into their picky eaters. Be a Superhero in the Kitchen will be a cookbook they will want to share with their kids. They may even want to dress up like superheroes themselves the next time they are in the kitchen.

One More SUPER Menu!

(Meat or cheese) tortellini or (breaded or unbreaded) ravioli, jar sauce, mozzarella sticks, veggie of your choice.

If you can find both tortellini (cold section) and the ravioli (freezer section), you can easily have two days of meals. You can make a butter sauce or buy a jar/marinara sauce.

Fish tacos

If you don’t like fresh fish and slaw on your tacos, try breaded fish, tartar sauce, cheese, and lettuce on a soft shell. It’s quick, easy, and gives you a new option for Taco Tuesday!

Lil’ Smokies (cooked on a stovetop or in a slow cooker)

Lil’ Smokies + grape jelly + slow cooker = a quick, easy meal your whole family will enjoy!

We love having breakfast for supper.

Your Super Chef will love making Magnificent Muffin Cones, located in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen.

Select a protein and, for the side dish, make Colossal Bacon and Bean Sidekick.

Looking for a true hands-on activity? Then look no further. Snapping the ends off green beans will keep Super Chefs mighty busy. Plus, who doesn’t like playing with their food?! 🙂

You can find the recipe in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen.
