Kids Cuisine

My daughter is constantly bringing home children’s cookbooks from the library.  Most often, I admit it, I’m a terrible mom, and we end up returning the books several weeks later, unused.  For the longest time, I would look at the recipes included in most of these books and simply shake my head.  I could make […]

Recently I was asked by my daughter if I could buy her a new cookbook.  I asked her what kind of cookbook she wanted, and her reply was “one for kids, Mom!” So I spent some time looking around for a new cookbook that we hadn’t discovered yet, and I found a gem written by […]
