How old are them? What else do they like?
12 & 13. Their fav-o-rite meal is Top Ramen. Personally I hate the slop but they dig it.
I might have them make the pepper with Cheddar Chowder but am also going to have them make a roasted corn & anaheim chili medley to go with it. Risotto is a favorite of mine to make but I don't have the patience to teach it to the kids yet. The last time I made it I was the only one who ate it.
