Kids Cuisine

Like most other parents, I struggle from time to time with my children and vegetables.  While there is that part of me that realizes their palates are still growing and learning, there is also that part of me that wants them to enjoy everything they eat right away.  As we’ve been enjoying our own home-grown […]

Next week we’ll be taking the kids on our once-a-year camping excursion.  For one week out of the year, we pitch a tent in the wilderness and reconnect with each other in a very peaceful manner. Our choice campgrounds are always the ones with the least amenities — no running water, no camp store, no […]

When we were out shopping at the toy store recently, this cookbook for kids caught my eye, and I simply had to purchase it.  he concept seemed absoluely adorable — I wondered why no one thought of this before!  Cook It Up In A Cup! by Julia Myall is a little cookbook that comes with […]

My children think they love s’mores.  I know I love s’mores — those warm, toasty marshmallows, sandwiched between two graham cracker squares, and oh, the oozing milk chocolate from the heat of the marshmallow… it’s pure heaven, I tell you.  Every year when it’s time to go camping, my children clamor for the s’mores.

One of the best things about summer vacation is that my daughter wants to spend more time in the kitchen. Her free time is no longer limited to just a few activities, and the world is her playground all day long. As a result, she’s been spending more time looking through cookbooks and […]

Before school let out for the year, Abigail had brought home a kids’ cookbook from her school library. She paged through it, commenting about a lot of recipes that she thought looked good to her. When I asked her if there were any she wanted to make, she had to think for a […]

A few weeks ago I brought home a bunch of rhubarb for the first time this year. My son looked at the bundle in my hand and asked me where I got red celery from. He loves celery, so I took advantage of this question and asked him if he’d like to try […]

I find that I tend to get in a rut when I find a success when feeding my children. I’m certain we’ve all gone through this. We feed our little miss something that she’s never eaten before and she inhales it. In fact, she ask for seconds and then practically licks the […]
