ethanschoonover, 
I'm going to have my kids make dinner for the family on a regular basis.
I'm going to start them off by giving them a few (3 to 6) recipes as good options for them to pick from.
E.g. A rice based meal recipe, a pasta recipe. One of them will be baked potatoes because, hey, baked potatoes are delish.
Question for mastodon:
What recipes would you include in this short list?
