Egg Nest

There are days when trying to find something suitable to cook for children can be a real hassle.  However, with spaghetti and noodles you can never go wrong. The dish below is surprisingly simple and easy to make and tasty too.  My 8-year old daughter prepared the dish under my supervision - so she just loved eating what she had made. Of course getting her brother to eat something his sister made is an entirely different story - sibling rivalry.  But after explaining to him that it was my instructions and my menu and she was the one who was just "stirring" in everything, he agreed it was a good dish.  Sometimes with the war we have at our house between the two children, I think my husband and I could be good negotiators of peace in the Middle East because if you can negotiate a peace at our house, you can negotiate it anywhere.
