Kids Cuisine

With my six-year-old son, I’ve found that the more involved he is with meal preparation, the more likely he is to try something new.  And involved he is.  Here are just a few suggestions on how you can teach your children to love fresh foods:

Take them to visit a farm.  Once the weather warms up, […]

When it comes to decorating cupcakes and cakes, I am terrible at it.  To wit, I signed up for an upcoming Wilton decorating class next month just to get a little better at it.  In the meantime, luckily for me (and anyone else in the same boat), there are people like Julie Beckwith out there.  […]

Whether the economy is in the tank or not, eating out can quickly get expensive, especially once you start factoring kids into the mix.  But you needn’t completely stop the luxury.  There are many restaurants that feature “kids eat free” nights or significant discounts that make the whole trip more (excuse the pun) palatable.

When we were on vacation in January, my son went through a basic rotation of macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, and Caesar salad for dinner.  Then one night, he went old school and asked for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Although it wasn’t on the menu, the kitchen staff on cruise ships are always […]

On Monday, January 5th, we will put […]

My six-year-old son is a little picky about vegetables, but hey, what kid isn’t? He will eat cucumbers (dipped in Ranch dressing), carrots (dipped in Ranch dressing) and salad (with Ranch dressing). Do you sense a theme here? What can I say… he loves Ranch dressing. And if it helps him love his veggies, I’m […]

I discovered this recipe a few years ago, while looking for a Mexican dessert for a dinner party we were having, and it has made many repeat appearances since then. I am not a big fan of cookie recipes that involve rolling or cutting, which is one of the reasons I don’t make this recipe more […]

A friend and I were talking about our kids’ eating habits the other day, and rattling off the list of things that they will or won’t eat.  We both concluded that while they may be a little pickier than we’d like, they still eat enough of the “good stuff” that we (and they!) are on […]
