Getting creative at snack time is always a challenge for me. I know that other moms share this struggle as well. It is hard to get out of the cheese and crackers rut. Thank goodness there are resources out there to help us out. One of my favorite places to turn for snack time inspiration […]

A new treat I’m introducing my daughter to is the whoopie pie. I hope you’re not scratching your head wondering what the heck is a whoopie pie. They’re one of the of tastiest treats on the planet — especially when they’re homemade.
To give you a little history, whoopie pies can be traced back to the […]

If you only try one cheesy non-dairy product ever, this should be the one. True, it isn’t cheese itself, but everyone (yes everyone) will swoon over these addictive “cheddar” crackers. How do I know? Aside from my own tasting, I put this product to the ultimate test, my “Goldfish”-addicted nieces.
Not only do […]

Children and vegetables.  It seems that so often, those two ideas just can’t get together.  Everywhere we look it seems there is another parent lamenting their child’s disinterest in vegetables.  Yet expert after expert tells us there must be more vegetables. What is a desperate parent to do? 
One of these parents has decided to take […]

Food is always more fun if you are able to help create it, and it usually tastes better too. That’s why, for me, Cold Stone is better than Baskin-Robbins — making my own flavor just tops selecting from 31 of theirs.
Even if you are unlucky enough not to live near a Cold Stone (and once […]

This post comes to Kids Cuisine from Janelle over at Brown Bag Blues.

My son went to visit a new school, to help him decide “where to go to school next year.”
He knew some of the kids at the school, and met others that he really enjoyed. Not too long after his visit, I was having […]

I know we talk about eating good food on Kids Cuisine, but I thought it would be worth mentioning, if you haven’t already heard, about Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J) recall of its children’s mouthwash — Listerine Agent Cool Blue plaque-detecting rinse. The two flavors affected are Glacier Mint and Bubble Blast.

According to J&J, the kids’ […]

Even as a grown-up, I’m a big fan of Dr. Seuss.  I still think “Oh, the Places You Go” is a great “career path” book, and The Cat in the Hat is right up there.
That’s why when I saw the semi-new Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook, I found it a little hard to resist.  I mean, […]

My children have recently discovered that they enjoy chips and salsa.  They ask for it fairly often for a snack, and since I make my own salsa, preservative free, I tend to let them have it whenever they ask for it.  But the other day after school, I wanted to try a twist on salsa, […]

I’ve got a lot to learn in the kitchen. Nobody really cooked when I was growing up. My mom was a businesswoman. She taught me how to write a killer resume but left me ignorant in the ways of the roast chicken. And honestly, I was largely uninterested until I became a mom some ten […]
