Kids Cuisine

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.

Every once in awhile, I get lucky with a product that is pretty healthy, but looks like something decadent to our four-year-old son.  Such is the case with Del Monte’s Fruit Chillers.  Made with real fruit and available in mango, strawberry and raspberry flavors, they are fat-free and each serving provides 100% of the daily recommended […]

The folks at Kraft Food & Family have put together some helpful hints to help your kids run a successful lemonade stand and have fun while doing it.

Then you may want to check out Martha Stewart’s new craft line, which just launched on May 1st. I know, for me, the entertaining section is going to be hard to stay away from, even if only for inspiration.
More importantly, however, there is also a kids section, which includes very adorable party kits and […]

When my son, Nicholas, wants something sweet, I have no problem with it, because he eats fairly well for the most part.  That being said, I try to find smaller sweet treats for him since he doesn’t need the full-blown version.  His sweet tooth tends to be pretty low to begin with, so he’s happy […]

Sure, it’s possible.  In a recent issue of Family Circle magazine, Ronni Litz Julien, R.D., author of What Should I Feed My Kids?, laid down the law with six suggestions on making the healthiest choices for kids (and even adults!) when you have to hit the drive-thru lane of your local fast food joint.
