Kids Cuisine

One of the foods that I gave my mom fits about as a kid was tuna.  It didn’t matter what she did; I wasn’t having it.  I am better now that I am older, but I still look for recipes that won’t bring back tuna memories from long ago.  Another pasta recipe in my lil’ […]

I don’t know many children who don’t like pasta. Well okay, my experience is limited to those students in my school.  But, I see what they eat in the lunch line! Maybe I am a bit biased since I am Italian and pasta was a staple in my home growing up. I’m convinced G. will […]

Project Teen2Eat is still going strong!  Nothin’ says good ol’ southern cooking like a Po’ Boy, which is the third of my teen meal series.
It also offers opportunity for dinner conversation.  This history of where food comes from can be and is fascinating.  As far as the Po’ Boy, it is believed that the Po’ […]

Project Teen2Eat is in full swing!  The second of ten recipes is great for a teen house guest.  Meat and Barbecue Sauce, how can a boy say no? Plus, I remember a conversation G. and I had about how he has great memories of grilling out with family in Alabama.  I can’t send him to […]

I mentioned a couple months ago that there was a good possibility I would (temporarily) take care of a teen boy at the end of the school year.  Well, it looks like it’s going to happen in a matter of days.  And, what a pair we will make – a growing, 6 foot something, hungry teen and […]

Yes, you read correctly.  Dessert.
I am a huge fan of Nestle recipes. I don’t think I have ever messed one up, or eaten the end result and expressed dislike.  So, it was only fitting that I see when my mouse clicks when I saw three little words… Mini Dessert Burgers.  Dessert?  Burger?  […]

Recently, I attended the K/BIS show in Atlanta.  One of the exhibitors, Dacor Kitchen Appliances, had Jan D’Atri in attendance and cooking.  Jan D’Atri, cookbook author, restaurateur, and one of Dacor’s chefs, shared a few of her delicious recipes at the show, but there are a vast number of succulent selections on the company’s website.
While […]

Looking for a quick dessert that you can make from items in your pantry? Nothing like a Rachel Ray recipe to save the day. Her 5-Minute Apple Crisp is fast, tasty, and can be made together, as a family.
5-Minute Apple Crisp
Slightly adjusted recipe from Get Togethers: Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals
1 can (15-ounce) apple filling (like […]

Several of my girlfriends have little ones under the age of five.  One of the frequent topics of conversations is the pickiness of their children’s palates.  I can’t pretend to understand because (a) I don’t have children of my own and (b) saying no was not a really good option growing up in my home.  […]

I have been playing with eggs lately and had fun with some ham this morning. After looking and tasting the end result, I thought these little guys would be great for kids… to eat as well as to help make.
I think that these would work well in cupcake pans, but I used a few ramekins […]
