I typically make an assortment of flavors when I make ebleskiver but these Nutella-filled pancakes are so yummy that they deserve their own post. They are also a delicious way to celebrate World Nutella Day.

Ebleskiver are similar to the American version of pancakes except that they seem to be lighter and fluffier due to the egg whites being beaten into stiff peaks. I like to make an assortment of flavors when I make ebleskiver, leaving some plain and filling the others with a variety of ingredients.

This version of Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic is easy because you put all of the ingredients in a casserole dish, bake it in the oven and forget about it. The end result is a rich, comforting meal. If the thought of forty cloves of garlic frightens you, there is no need to worry. The garlic flavor mellows as the cloves cook and when they are done, they are rich and buttery, perfect for slathering on your favorite bread or even the chicken itself.

After discovering how simple it is to make sushi at home and inspired by the colorful rainbow roll, I decided to make a more kid-friendly version of this popular sushi roll. Your kids can help roll the sushi and brainstorm different toppings to give the roll the rainbow colors.

Jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) is a traditional Chinese dish that is popular during the Chinese New Year celebration. The pronunciation of this Chinese pot-sticker resembles the sound of a word for money so the tradition is to serve them during the New Year festivities as a promise of wealth and luck in the coming year.

Tater tots are a U.S. invention, known for their crispy exterior and small, cylindrical shape. They are traditionally deep-fried but I wanted to make a healthier version so I opted to bake them. A cross between french fries and hash browns, they are a perfect way to mix up how you serve your family potatoes.

Making sushi at home is easy, fun and a great way to disguise healthy foods, such as the smoked salmon in this roll. My son loves cream cheese so this roll is an easy sell.

Once I realized how easy it is to make sushi at home, I wanted to try making one of my favorite sushi rolls: Spicy Scallops. To make it appropriate for my toddler I decided to cook the scallops. If you or your kids don’t like spicy foods, you can omit the sriracha sauce.

Making sushi at home is easier than you think and you can use your imagination, disguising many healthy foods within each roll. Sushi is also very kid-friendly because your kids can help make different rolls, with or without seafood, according to each person’s tastes.
