Menu Planning Challenge...Impressive, yet Kid-Friendly Dessert!

This weekend I'll be visiting the fam. As has become the custom, I'll cook lunch on Sunday for three adults and four children, ages 6-17, who are somewhat picky eaters. On the menu are fancy grilled chicken burgers with all the fixings, roasted yam fries (some russet fries for the pickies) and a veggie/salad.

My challenge is a tasty, not-too-calorie-laden dessert that will wow the adults and satisfy the kids' palate, that also matches the "Burgers and Fries" theme. Any ideas?

Healthy food for youngsters...

My brother and sister-in-law took my nephew in for his checkup yesterday (he's almost 6), and the doctor said that he needs to eat healthier. He's not fat, barely even chubby, but he's very very picky. In the past, he'll really only eat certain preparations of chicken, pizza, or pancakes. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get him to eat other things, or ideas on healthy choices for those meals and snacks?

Kids Tired of Brown Bag Lunches: Any New Ideas?

I pack lunches for my 6 kids every day. Only the oldest has access to a refrigerator and microwave. The other 5 are getting tired of sandwiches/ fruit salad/homemade muffins, etc. Anyone out there have any recipes or ideas for yummy brown bag foods? I have posted all of my good lunch ideas on my blog www.halefamilysite.blogspot.com. I would love some good ideas.
