I spend inordinate amounts of time cooking, baking, researching recipes, grocery shopping, and generally talking about food. When one of my kids shows an interest in cooking, I jump at the chance to help them love the culinary world as much as I do.
I received the Twinkies Cookbook from one of my sisters as […]

I tried it, I really did. I made some food look funny to see if my kids would eat without complaining. The idea is that they would be so tickled they would forget to think about the actual food and just eat it.
I had read Brian Wansink’s article earlier that day about how to change […]

Admit it – you have, at one time or another, made a New Year’s Resolution that you didn’t keep. We are all guilty. In order to solve this problem, we make one of these promises to ourselves:

So it’s no wonder that as soon as I saw these kid-friendly personalized aprons in the hot-off-the-presses Williams-Sonoma catalog, did I tag the page to order […]

At the moment, my head (and stomach) have given over to the dance of the sugar plums. And the sugar cookies, and eggnog, and hot chocolate. Come New Year’s, however, I’ll be hearing a different tune. Most likely, it will be something peppy with an aerobic instructor shouting over the top of it. I will […]

When it comes time to do the holiday baking, often times I’m at a loss for ways to let my children help me in the kitchen. Any cookie that require sprinkles usually gets their attention, but other than that, they quickly lose interest in rolling and cutting, or dropping dough onto sheets before baking. […]
