The Kids Cook Monday – What the heck is THAT?

May 17, 2011

One of the best things about getting a co-op basket each week is finding new and unusual produce to try.  A few weeks ago, our basket included two huge white things which prompted the question, “What the heck is that?”  Well THAT is a daikon, or a giant radish.

May 9, 2011

I hope that you all had a wonderful day celebrating the moms in your life.  My Mother’s Day actually started in the middle of the night.  Leila is getting her 2-year-molars in, so every other night, she is waking up once or twice.  Saturday night, she woke up twice.  Jeff got up with her both [...]

The Kids Cook Monday – A Look Back and a Few Tips

April 18, 2011

When the people behind The Kids Cook Monday campaign asked if I would be interested in being a featured blogger, I was thrilled.  I have been bringing Joe into the kitchen since he was a newborn.  At that time he just sat there and drooled.  Not much help. As a one and two-year-old, he sat [...]
