Kids Cuisine

OK, so some mothers like to get a break from cooking for Mother’s Day. But I actually wanted to make something fun. To me, it is a treat to be in the kitchen, at least to create something just for fun and not because three kids are screaming how hungry they are.
This afternoon, my daughter […]

It’s always nice when you can find a kids’ snack food that has the enticement of bad food, but isn’t actually all that bad. The new Nabisco Teddy Graham Trail Mix is fun for kids (especially toddlers who haven’t had any nuts yet).
There are two types, a Bears and Bees mix and a Bears and […]

I have always wanted to grow my own vegetables. In fact, I’ve always wanted to make my own (fill in blank with name of any homemade food item here). But having kids is enough to give me that nudge. Not only do I want them to have the most local of local food, but I […]

The cool thing about making lasagna is that it’s a bit of a cross between a food project and a craft project for kids. You get to cook, yes, but you also get to assemble, stack, arrange, and cut. Making lasagna is a lot of fun for kids.
Recently, my 5-year-old got her first go at […]

The odds were stacked pretty well against Amy’s Kitchen before I even opened the first box of the company’s new organic frozen kids meals. For one thing, two out of three of my kids have a distinct distrust of new foods. Those two girls also have an uncanny sense for knowing when something is organic […]

I just love it when hotels not only think of kids, but actually put some thought into interesting, cultural activities for child guests. There is a hotel that is, in fact, catering to foodie kids (or at least the offspring of foodies), which is all the better.
The Loews Las Vegas Resort just announced a new […]

This weekend, we made one of my daughter’s favorite recipes. It wasn’t something fancy or elaborate, and it didn’t even have chocolate or sugar listed as an ingredient. It was simply Sunny Scrambled Eggs via the fabulous Mom and Me Cookbook.
As much as I think it’s fun to try unique dishes, for a 5-year-old a […]

It’s certainly lots of fun decorating Easter eggs, and they sure are pretty. The kids have a great time, and you really can’t tell them there will be no Easter egg decorating.
Then the days following Easter happen, and I stare at those eggs. They sit there, perky and bright, taunting me. I vow they will […]

Mama’s Kitchen Healthy Alternatives at SeaWorld Orlando was a pleasant healthy surprise during a recent visit. I had planned on making do or just ignoring some mom guilt when the kids ate junk food theme park meals. When I saw a funky green and white sign declaring this restaurant was the “healthy alternative,” I made […]

My kids recently enjoyed what can only be described as the Ultimate Breakfast Experience for toddlers and preschoolers. We dined at a character breakfast at the Nick Hotel’s Nicktoons Cafe in Orlando.
My three children are all die-hard Nickelodeon and Noggin devotees, so they were pretty excited about meeting Dora, SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick.
As we entered […]
