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.
Recently, my 5-year-old got her first go at […]

Today at the breakfast table, I broke the news that it was “Family Cleaning Day,” and proceeded to list a series of chores I thought the kids could handle independently while I tackled a deadline for work. Clearing the breakfast dishes, I reminded everyone of their duties and headed off to my desk with visions […]

Lizzie Marie’s Tasty Tidbits Cooking Classes recently launched in our community and parents are shocked! Feedback we’ve received from participants’ parents include:

Lizzie’s Girl Scout troop leader asked Lizzie if she would be interested in preparing an Egyptian food to share at today’s Girl Scout Expo. Each participating troop shared information about a country they studied and some offered food samples. Since Lizzie’s troop was studying Egypt, we thought about a food that is easy […]

Ever since I was invited to become a contributor to KidsCuisine.net, my children have loved their new role as Taste Testers.

To recap… On our family adventure with Special Expeditions, we journeyed through the Panama Canal and to Costa Rica on a 60-passenger cruise ship staffed by naturalists.
