Kids Cuisine

I prefer to cook at home as much as possible every night (no kidding)… and from scratch using the freshest ingredients (if you’re going to cook, it might as well as good). But once in a while, when the workday happens to be super long, and my wife and I are just too tired to […]

I have to admit that I seldom make hot breakfasts for my family. With the hustle and bustle of most mornings, adding breakfast prep and clean-up is far from being desirable. Each of us in the family has our own preference of breakfast foods. My 3 year old prefers a bowl of […]

This is the time of year when everyone is talking about healthy lunches, but so far on Kids’ Cuisine, we haven’t discussed healthy breakfast. If your kid is going to have a happy and successful day at school, he or she needs to start the day with a well-balanced, filling meal. This can be hard […]

I just got back from a week in Alaska, and it was awesome! If you ever get a chance to go in late summer or early fall, jump on it! Why? The salmon are jumping! Each year, salmon swim upstream from the ocean to small rivers near the Alaskan coast to mate. We spent a […]
