Kids Cuisine

This might be a no-brainer, but Kid’s Cuisine has not talked about frozen grapes. What a simple concept! What a great low-fat, no-added-sugar snack! What an easy way to have your kids get some vitamins! What a fun way to cool down after playing outside in the hot summer sun!
There’s no cooking, so that means […]

We don’t write much about McDonald’s here at Kid’s Cuisine… mostly because we tend to focus on healthy, interesting food, and McDonald’s doesn’t so such a great job at producing anything meeting those criteria. However, a story I read today seems worth blogging about — McDonald’s has started a new program called Moms’ Quality Correspondents. […]

Next week our family will be heading to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National forest for a camping vacation. We’re all looking forward to it, but camping in a remote location always presents a packing challenge when it comes to food. While I don’t mind the occasional hot dog, I try really hard to […]

I can barely remember the last time I had s’mores, but I do. Our French cousins were here visiting for my wedding nearly nine years ago, and we decided to BBQ outside and celebrate the very American tradition of making s’mores. The s’mores were, of course, instant hits, and fond memories were made.
It’s […]

Since my first child began drinking juice, I have always diluted the juice in my kids’ sippy cups. Juice contains a lot of sugar, and kids can quickly chug many ounces of juice in a day.
The main issue with that plan is the juice box. I love juice boxes! They are easy. Your kid whines […]

Educating children really hits home when you start having children of your own. I rarely thought of my nephews or nieces schooling, but now that I have a 19-month-old and another one due in November I’m constantly thinking about education.
I mention to my wife about our daughter, Ava, being a chef; it is a reputable […]

What would I do without Family Fun magazine? The ideas provided in each issue easily get me through the long days by giving me plenty of entertaining things to do with my kids. The July 2007 issue is no exception. As I was flipping through this issue I bookmarked games, craft ideas and recipes that […]

Cupcakes are no longer the in thing when it comes to summer entertaining.  Instead, consider the cakelet, a pint sized portion of cake molded into different shapes and fun forms.  Specifically, check out this fun Backyard Bugs Cakelet Pan at Williams-Sonoma.  Featuring bees, dragonflies, ladybugs and butterflies, the cakelet pan makes eight cakes at a […]

Every once in awhile, I get lucky with a product that is pretty healthy, but looks like something decadent to our four-year-old son.  Such is the case with Del Monte’s Fruit Chillers.  Made with real fruit and available in mango, strawberry and raspberry flavors, they are fat-free and each serving provides 100% of the daily recommended […]

I was facing a dilemma. My 15-month-old twins love mac and cheese, but they aren’t what I would call savvy with a spoon and pasta. At dinnertime, it is nice to allow them to feed themselves instead of spooning food into their mouths. They are masters of finger food eating, so I devised a finger […]
