Nicoise to meet you

Last night my husband had the kids help him make a Salad Nicoise. The kids had a great time helping out and the fact that a) they made it and b) it sounded so fancy, they ate all of it. Now how to make 'liver and onions' sound fancy...NO WAY!!! I love how kids find the food that they happen to make the 'best ever'...that is the key. I do think though that if that were a daily occurrence, the novelty would wear off and they'd just be bitter that they had to make dinner all of the time...what is the magical mix...I'll get back to you on that one.
