Here in New York, the kids are off from school ALL week, so maybe I'm not the only one trying to come up with ways to make them more useful in the kitchen. Here are twelve tasks they should be doing for you.
This one-pan meal can be pulled together in just 12 minutes and requires only 8 ingredients, including salt, pepper and oil. I’ve fed it to my family for brunch, lunch and dinner, and they asked for more for breakfast the next day. Round out the meal with a side of creamy polenta or grits. Or serve it over a bed of chewy farro or wheat berries. If you can spare the extra mostly hands-free cooking time, my favorite accompaniment to this, however, is Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.
