Kids Cuisine

I’ve already gotten the question about what my children want for Christmas. Knowing that one loves to cook, and hoping the other two will love it when they get older, I’ve been putting together a wish list for my cooking (and aspiring mini chef) kids.

I’m sorta kinda wimping out of my weekly obligation to post new news for Kids Cuisine. You see, I’ve been a bit busy. On the 14th, my wife gave birth to our second child.

So it got me thinking that perhaps it’s time we parents just boycott French fries for kids. We will […]

This proves the point that our nation’s growing toddlers are at risk of being overweight at a very, very young age. Listen up, parents! The problem is that toddlers are developing grown-up eating habits – eating fast […]

I ran into Charlotte Hume the same way that I have met many amazing people, our mutual blogs. One visit to her site, The Great Big Vegetable Challenge, and I was in love with her tenacity and humor and her approach to getting her picky son to eat vegetables.
Indeed, the whole project began over a […]
