6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 3/4 pounds)
Total Time: 30 min 1. Heat oven to 375ºF. Mix butter and mustard in shallow dish until well mixed. Mix bread crumbs and cheese in large plastic bag.
2. Dip one piece of chicken at a time into butter mixture, coating all sides. Then place in bag of bread crumbs, seal bag and shake to coat with crumb mixture. Place chicken in single layer in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches.
3. Bake uncovered 20 to 30 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
or …This is fun to layer. If you use sauce with the herbs and spices you like, you can leave out the ones in the recipe.

I like party planning, they say i’m pretty good @ it, I like cooking, people like how i cook, I also like paper work legal, insurance, finance specially when it comes to helping poeple. and all my friends and family are always looking for me to help in some way with something. and with 5 kids it makes it hard to work outside the home. so if anyone has a suggestion please help.
you are a versatile person. i would suggest specialize in one of these things you mentioned and start a home made party foods plus make a space in your area and make a party area (sort of garden birthday party)
To make sure they are well done before serving? (Sorry, irrestible)
With that young of children, absolute responsibility. The child care worker should be there and doing almost everything but explaining to the kids what they are doing. Its fine to have the kids mixing and measuring but anything involving stove, knives or high temperatures should be handled by the child care worker, not the kids.

I’m looking for a healthy, kid friendly, not too complicated recipe book so I can fix, freeze and pop in the oven. I’ve seen a lot of books out there, but does anyone have any recommendations?

May I suggest that you visit the page at the link provided below?
Serif PagePlus is an excellent DTP Software that gives you a gamut of templates which you can use for designing your Cook Book.
You might find the PhotoPlus worth downloading too, because this will help you work on the photos that you might want to incorporate there.
Hope this helps.
All the best.
Cheers
It is a grade 12 class and we have a low budget and about 20 kids in the class. We also have no home ec. room and only have access to one oven/stove.

I would like my daughter to start cooking dinner once a week, so she can learn some cooking skills. What are some kid friendly dinner recipes?
Start her out with spaghetti, mac and cheese, maybe hamburgers or meatloaf? Learning to bake a cake from a mix? Anything that really needs to be fried or saute’d probably aren’t good starters. Help her with draining pasta or lifting pans off the stove full of boiling water. You don’t mention how old your daughter is.. maybe she should start out helping you make things, let her mix, add ingredients, learn to chop vegetables and peal potatoes.
Here’s a few links for some online kids cooking cookbooks.
