I still use it all the time for adult party appetizers, etc!., and I'm sure they have lots of vegetarian - and regular - stuff that 10-yr!. olds would enjoy!.
Of course they advertise their own brand on there - but there are plenty of really quick and simple ideas you can adjust!. Depending on where you live, they send a really good magazine every month, too!. It's pretty handy!.!.!. Have fun!
