Some
of the recipes

use ingredients (such as ground turkey) that may not be available in all
areas.
-
use more expensive ingredients so may not be practical for all families.
-
may need adult supervision – for example, the ones that use a knife to
chop vegetables. Maybe the recipes need to say have an adult chop the
vegetables for you. Also knife
safety could be added for the older children.
-
Some
recipe instructions
-
are not real clear – for example, should the broccoli florets be thawed
before they are added to the pizza?
-
do not list ingredient substitutions
– for example,
can fresh broccoli be used in place of the frozen broccoli in the pizza
recipe?
