Kids Cuisine

When Cate passed long some information about the Triple Play Game Plan, I was a little bit skeptical. The program is put out by the Boys & Girls Club of America, which offer some great kids’ programs. However, its two major sponsors are Kraft and Coca-Cola. Neither of these companies is synonymous with healthy choices […]

File this under: Thank Goodness there are such clever moms out there. Just when my kids’ cafeteria cards have run out, and their complaints about the school’s “chef surprise” style meal options have reached a deafening pitch, along comes a blog with me in mind.
Our own Janelle from Talk of Tomatoes has just launched The […]

I recently read on the Internet that in the United Kingdom new advertising rules will officially label cheese as “junk food”. I hope this never happens in the United States! Could you imagine?
According to the article, “Under regulations coming into force this month, broadcasters will be banned from advertising cheese during children’s television programmes or […]

It’s two weeks after Valentine’s Day, do you know what that means? That’s right, apparently Easter is right around the corner. I popped into my local RiteAid this weekend and was amazed at the transformation that had taken place. All the hearts and red things were off to one side with a big “75% OFF” […]

I’ve mentioned Gastrokid before on Kids Cuisine… it’s a great site run by two dads who are looking for ways to expose their kids to some great food. In addition to frequent postings on recipes, news, and reviews, Gastrokid has an amazing feature in their Kid Friendly Restaurants of the World map.

Valentine’s Day is the biggest day in the year for adults to eat out without their children. Restaurants pack the house with sometimes outrageously priced special events, and kids are unfortunately unwelcome. (Or maybe it’s fortunate, sometimes parents need a special outing.)
V-day has passed, though, so it’s safe to take the little ones out into the […]

I’m always looking for new recipes.  In particular, I’m looking for recipes that my children can help me prepare.  Right now they have such a desire to help me in the kitchen that I just hate to turn them away.  Quite often, though, the things I am cooking don’t really need the assistance of little […]

It’s rare to see kids cooking on American TV. Occasionally one of the Food Network chefs will include a child or two in the food preparation, but most often food TV is a grown-up’s world.
Not so in New Zealand. New Zealand’s TV2 has a great short program, Cool Kids Cooking. Each under-10-minute episode features a […]

I recently stumbled on a great website, Gastrokid. It’s run by two dads who weigh in on successful recipes, nutrition, and other great food-related stuff. My favorite post by far, though, has to be this one.  Hugh has found some great bibs for babies on Sashimi Baby’s CafePress site. My favorite is the first one, […]

Picture this: You’re sitting in a darkened theater, watching previews and getting ready for the feature presentation. While you wait, you reach down and grab a big handful of that quintessential movie snack, popcorn. Not just any popcorn, either, but popcorn smothered in fake buttery goodness. This was a rare treat when I was growing up, and now I […]
