Kids Cuisine

I can’t be the only one who hasn’t quite finished up my holiday shopping. I’m always searching for stocking stuffers until the last minute. For those of you in the same boat, I have some great food-related kids gifts that might round out your shopping.
Chopsticks are great, especially when eating out at Asian restaurants, but […]

Perhaps I should have named this “Treats kids can make.” Depending on your personal definition of a cookie, this next choice may not fit the bill. It does, however, fit the bill as delicious and wonderful for kids to make. Peanut Butter Balls were a staple at holiday times for us growing up. We all […]

My four-year-old son, Nicholas, is not a big fan of soup.  I can usually get him to try a spoonful or two, but he isn’t going to be requesting it on his own any time soon.  That was until he helped me make Chilled Strawberry Soup.  He loves strawberries, so I knew he’d be an easy target, and […]

I recently stumbled on a great website, Gastrokid. It’s run by two dads who weigh in on successful recipes, nutrition, and other great food-related stuff. My favorite post by far, though, has to be this one.  Hugh has found some great bibs for babies on Sashimi Baby’s CafePress site. My favorite is the first one, […]

When I was a kid, Christmas was always spent at my grandparents’ house. We would drive four hours on Christmas morning to spend the holiday with extended family. I had a great time hanging out with my many cousins and eating tons of excellent food, but one of the best parts of Christmas was the […]
