Are there "healthy" Easy Bake Oven recipes?

[morningglory]

We taught our sons to cook from an early age because these modern women think canned beans are good if you add cream of mushroom soup with a garnish of frozen onion rings, and think Cool Whip is an ingredient for desserts. We are in the group that think Sweet potatoes don't need any stinkin' marshmallows to be delicious. As a result, our sons are the cooks in their own families. Now my good friend's son-in-law is the cook of his family. My friend's grandson, age 4 last year, put cheese on some crackers and put them on the heater output to melt. It melted into the heater, and the house smelled like cheese for the whole winter. My friend bought him an E Z Bake oven for Christmas. I would like to get a recipe for one semi-healthy thing for the oven and use the porportions to come up with other recipes, besides those cake-mis packets that come with the oven. For a starter, he could put some cheese on some crackers and have a go!

1. Those things don't get all that hot, so cheese n crackers

or cheese on tortilla chips might be it, unless he does cheese on rye bread, with or without a thin slice of tomato.

However, getting him one is a stroke of genius. I just hope they're not pink.

3. They are now white and turquoise

Perfect colors for girls and boys. They look like little microwave ovens. They also have an actual heating element, rather than a light bulb. Mmmmmm....melted cheese on rye with tomato.

Here's a page that has a ton of EBO recipes: http://www.budget101.com/frugal/easy-bake-oven-mixes-187/

There's even a recipe for lasagna, so I'm guessing the ovens get hotter than they used to with the light bulb as a heat source.

9. Oh, neat! They're actually more useful now

and I suppose they no longer catch on fire when a flaky kid leaves them on too long.

I always wanted one when I was a kid.

10. Don't those Manufacturers know that Turquoise will go out of

style and then the curtains won't match any more? The little kitchen will be hideous. Oh, I have a solution! Make some avocado green ovens! That's the ticket! You young whippersnappers won't catch on to this, so just go to the next post. Once we rented a house that had an avocado sink and a Turquoise refrigerator. I found a remnant at a fabric store that was avocado/turquoise/white stripes. Made curtains. It just tied the room together, Big Lebowski style.

7. Oh, PERFECT!!! His little mates won't laugh at him for having a girl toy

and those tuna melts on crackers will impress them enough that they'll all clamor for them next year!

2. I wonder if that cake in a cup recipe would work in an easybake

The one that cooks in a mug in the microwave.

8. Good idea! Will look into it! n/t

4. Oh, bleeech!

Please tell my you are joking about the canned beans with the mushroom soup and frozen onion rings.
Although, it DOES sound like something out of the 1950s-early 1960s.

6. I hate to tattle, but at one of my sons' Thanksgiving dinners

with his wife's family, the wife's sisters got all whiney because there was no canned green bean casserole with the mushroom soup and onion rings on top. They were raised that way. That's why my son does the cooking.

12. Oh...canned GREEN beans.

For some reason, I was thinking BAKED beans. I guess that is because in the rare instances where I made that dish, I always used frozen green beans. They were requests for pot-lucks. I later switched to just adding fresh mushrooms and/or toasted slivered almonds and a wee bit of chicken broth. I just couldn't bring myself to make that soup-based concoction any more. Not surprisingly, they were more likely to get eaten the more simple way.

14. canned green beans, soup and onion rings

Sorry :-) This is mandatory at our house over the holidays, although with Celery Soup instead due to hatred of mushrooms.

16. Green bean casserole with mushroom soup and fried onion topping

is a 60's and 70's CLASSIC. Seriously. I grew up on that stuff.

But I don't make cream soup based casseroles anymore. I value my health.
