Recipe of the Week: Tuna Burgers
Alex loves fish. He would eat it everyday if he could. Actually, the only thing that stops me from feeding it to the kids more than twice a week is the mercury level worry. BUT, sometimes, one of our two fish meals for the week includes Tuna Burgers. Canned tuna really makes delicious burgers and we love 'em. And, since Alex isn't a hamburger eater, when we grill, we do traditional burgers and tuna burgers.

2 Kids Cooking TV Review: Curious Chef 8 Pc. Cutlery & Serving Set
A couple of weeks ago, the kids and I decided to order and test some of Curious Chef's products. They look fun and I was intrigued by the cutlery in particular. Overall, we loved the tools, the knives are great too, especially with Sophia. She is good with a 'real' knife, but she also gets distracted when she's cooking on occasion. The Curious Chef knives provide an extra sense of safety.

Recipe of the Week: Tropical Shamrock Smoothie
March is the month that we celebrate St. Patrick's day. Here in Minnesota, it's also the beginning of the end of an oh-so-long winter. So, the kids and I decide to come up with a recipe that is appropriate for the holiday, and that reminds us of the warm summer days we are missing terribly as we watch the snow fall, and fall, and keep falling. The result is our Tropical Shamrock Smoothie!

2 Kids Cooking TV: Make Your Own Mozzarella
A couple of weeks ago, Alex, Soph and I tried one of our Kitchen Chemistry Experiments--we made our very own fresh mozzarella cheese. Both of the kids love science, and learning about making cheese seemed right up their alley...plus I've always thought it would be fun to try. I was right, it is fun. But, beware, it's kind of addicting too. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist, but I can't stop trying to get each batch a little more perfect. Luckily, Sophia is a fresh mozzarella eating monster, she just scarf's it right up :D

Recipe of the Week: Pizzadillas
You may have seen the kids and I demonstrate this tasty recipe on last weeks episode of 2 Kids Cooking. If you did, you know just how easy Pizzadillas are to make. They have the benefit of filling customization, which we love, plus they're good for kids at any skill level to do some hands on helping.

March is National Nutrition Month: Nutrition From the Ground Up
Posted on 21 February 2010
In case you didn't know, March is National Nutrition Month. And, since I've proclaimed 2010 the year the 2 Kids household will improve the nutritional quality of the food we eat, I'm kind of excited about it. For this year's theme , the American Dietetic Association has chosen to emphasize, 'Nutrition from the Ground Up,' reminding us all that improving our diets doesn't have to be complicated, it's just a matter of starting to focus on the basics, building a foundation of health.

Beef Jerky
Posted on 18 February 2010
I love beef jerky. So much I wish I could make my own. Lucky for me, mom has a food dehydrator. Ever since I heard this, I've been searching the web for just the right recipe. With my taste, I prefer high salt and a whole lot of garlic (I would eat it raw if possible). I also like mild spicy things like teriyaki & also a touch of sweetness, like in brown sugar.

Keeping the Variety in Meal Time
Posted on 15 February 2010
When it comes to meal time, I always try to provide food options that meet three criteria: 1) The kids will eat it 2) I will eat it 3) It has some nutritional value We have a number of standard menus that meet these criteria. We eat these standards regularly and the kids are perfectly satisfied. The kids are also perfectly satisfied to watch the same episode of Phineas and Ferb 50 times in a row; I, however, am not.
