Kids Cuisine

Yes, that Jessica Seinfeld. The one married to funnyman Jerry Seinfeld. Although a surprising new source for recipes, her first cookbook, Deceptively Delicious, just might find its way into many homes with kids. She, like many of us, was faced with kids (Sascha, 6, Julian, 4, and Shepherd, 2) that are picky about which vegetables […]

Nick Jr. magazine recently highlighted a few cookbooks that are perfect for your little kitchen helpers.  With the holidays coming at us fast and furious, one of these might be the perfect little gift for your budding cooks.
Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook.  These off-the-wall, madcap edibles are pulled from the pages of Seuss favorites.  From […]

If you recognize the name Art Smith, you probably best know him as Oprah Winfrey’s former personal chef.   But, believe it or not, the cookbook author has a few other achievements under his belt as well.  Four years ago, he created a nonprofit to help teach low-income kids all about healthy eating.  As he recently […]

I love me some cupcakes, and I’m no kid.  Luckily, our five-year-old son serves as the perfect guise for my cupcake capers.  Popular Food Network cook Rachael Ray has been thinking along the same lines lately too, whipping up a bounty of sugary delights that take a little bit of a walk on the wild side […]

It never ceases to amaze me what becomes a big business these days.  Things that have certainly crossed our minds more than once… more often than not, it’s a question of actually following through when an idea is hatched, and that’s just what Kristi Thomas, 39, did back in March of 2002.  She launched Lunchology, […]

Unfortunately just in time for back-to-school activities, approximately 56,000 lunchboxes were recalled last week in the state of California. They were made in China and given out at various health fairs and public events to promote healthy eating. There is a chance they may contain lead, and recent testing found elevated lead levels […]

These might be “kid-approved,” but not by my kid. As much as he loves their counterpart, regular Go-Gurts, he took one taste of the new Go-Gurts Fizzix and spit it out. I couldn’t convince him to give it another try, nor give the other flavors a shot. He was having none of […]

Our five-year-old son is very particular.  He refuses to wear shirts with stripes, buttons, or collars (his uniform for his new school is going to be a hard one to swallow on two out of three counts).  His sandwiches?  No crust, thankyouverymuch.  When Erika highlighted these sandwiches cutters back in January, I made a mental […]

Food Network celebrity chef Nigella Lawson says that if you put ketchup on nearly any food, kids will eat it. That may be true, but I couldn’t convince my son to eat her Blood and Guts Potatoes. No matter, more for me.
Aside from the one-hour baking time, it took just minutes to pull together. I […]

I can barely remember the last time I had s’mores, but I do. Our French cousins were here visiting for my wedding nearly nine years ago, and we decided to BBQ outside and celebrate the very American tradition of making s’mores. The s’mores were, of course, instant hits, and fond memories were made.
It’s […]
