What’s so surprising about tuna? Well, actually, a couple of things, in this recipe.
For one, it’s the fact that my daughter made the sandwich pictured for me while I was working through lunch on a deadline. She decided to surprise me with lunch, and surprise me she did.
At age 12, she’s got enough chops in […]

I taught my Tasty Tidbits Cooking Class to a Girl Scout troop the other day and had a lot of fun! Yogulicious cups are a super duper healthy snack and so easy to make. One of the Girl Scouts made a flower design on the top of her cup. It was so cute!
Here is the […]

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.
