Here is a seasonal recipe I love. Of course, you could eat pumpkiny treats any time of the year. But, who does? I mean, really? Pumpkin pie in May? Just doesn’t seem right. It’s kind of like the unspoken rule in our house about not playing Loreena McKennitt music before Halloween. It’s not holiday music, [...]

I get really frustrated with the need for quick snacks for my now-in-school 3 year-old boy. It’s nice that there are healthy versions, if you will, of “regular” foods.  You know, you can get organic chicken nuggets or no refined sugar cookies or all natural crackers instead of Cheez-its.  It’s all wonderful and I’m grateful [...]

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 [...]

A Simple Bread Recipe

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 [...]

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 [...]

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

Posted by Annie Mueller

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 [...]

Guacamole—Salsa’s sidekick

We’re talking salsa this week, but it seems that wherever salsa goes, guac goes too. It can’t be denied that the 2 are an excellent pair—great with tortilla chips, on the side of quesadillas or burritos they elevate any mexi dish to the higher reaches of yum in no time.
Here is a basic, but great [...]
