Artichokes are my daughter’s favorite veggie of all. Think about it from a kid’s perspective: it’s a giant, green flower that you can eat with your hands.  And you get to dip those lovely, curvy ‘petals’ into something tasty like butter or lemon or a combination of both. And ...

Last week we got our CSA veggie box and we managed to use all of our loot, creating some new recipes and discovering how many are quick and easy and are going to make the hectic Thanksgiving week a whole lot easier to get meals on the table. Check out ...

This Cooking With My Kid is really starting to pay off! My daughter made smooshed (her description) rainbow potatoes, roasted green cauliflower and our version of healthy chicken nuggets (all while dressed in her fancy dress).

Personally, I don’t know of a better way to celebrate the upcoming holiday weekend than by seeing how many foods you can make that are red, white, and blue. Other than that spending time with your family thing, this is the best possible use of your time. REALLY. I’ve never ...

Forgive me, for I know that sometimes pictures of food can look horrifyingly disgusting but I just couldn’t help but share this with you.  We made oven fries which were quite delicious all on their own but paled in comparison to what we did with the leftovers the next ...

I recently read Tina Fey’s book, “Bossy Pants” and laughed the entire way through. I loved reliving my youth through her eyes. For all the laughs, one serious thing stuck with me. Tina apparently cannot stand when people ask her “how do you get it all done?” This totally ...
