Too many cucumbers in the garden!

So, maybe you’re a gardener and you’ve got a cucumber bounty on your hands. Many do this time of year. It’s nice to put them on salads or maybe make a salad out of them, but another fantastic use for cukes is a chilly soup. It’s so refreshing on a hot day to have […]

Green Gazpacho!

August 13, 2007 | 1 Comment

I love love love gazpacho. Cold soup is not something everyone can enjoy. I’ve found that sometimes it freaks people out. . . like it’s somehow “wrong,” that it’s cold. Or maybe they think it should be called something else because soup is inherently a hot thing.  I’m not sure what the reason, but once […]

It’s a crepe! It’s a pancake! Whatever it is—it’s yummy!

Breakfast is by far the easiest meal around here. In fact, some days I serve only breakfast foods all day because it’s easier than fighting to get my 3 year old to eat a chicken nugget or godforbid a vegetable.
Given that many of his favorite breakfast foods are sweet or have sweet syrup on top, […]

Continuing on yesterday’s track, I’ve got another great recipe that comes from a teacher at the Waldorf school that my son will attend next fall.
Over the last couple of years we’ve done a few sessions of their parent/toddler program on Fridays. It’s been a really great thing for us—not only is it something fun […]

My boy is going to a Waldorf School next year. We’re pretty excited about it—and nervous. The Waldorf style is a mixed age Kindergarten. So, even though he’s only 3, he’ll go 4 days a week, full days. Granted, we’ll probably work up to that over the first few months, but it’s a big […]

Tofu sticks! No, really, they’re good!

I like tofu a whole lot, so, I thought, maybe there was a chance my kid would, too. Turns out I was right. But he only likes it one way—battered and fried. What’d I expect, right? Well, at least he’ll eat the stuff.
Here’s what you do—

Apple-Oat Pancakes – a healthy snack for all!

We just had my son’s 3rd birthday party. It was a big hit. I tried to take pictures of the food spread, but my camera chose that day to be out of battery power. So, no photos, but it got me thinking about kid food. For the first 2.5 years of […]

A plum tart to please the masses

Posted by Annie Mueller

August 5, 2007 | 1 Comment

Isn’t there some nursery rhyme about a kid who pulls a plum out of his pie or something?
This tart may make you want to do that. It’s juicy innards are enough to make you dive in before it’s cool enough to eat. But, your patience will pay off, I promise.
This is one of those […]

The Zucchini; I love it, but man is there a lot of it

Posted by Annie Mueller

August 3, 2007 | 1 Comment

I love zucchini. I do. It’s one of the easiest veggies out there. It’s happy with a quick slop of olive oil and being tossed on the grill. It can be chopped into salads, grated into quesadillas, added to corn chowder. The opportunities are endless!  However, even this zucchini-loving gal needs new ideas for the […]
