Blue Corn Quesadillas
This recipe isn’t so much a recipe, but an idea of how to expand your child’s eating habits. If, like me, cheese quesadillas are a big win in your house, a way you can food chain this into expanding your child’s food acceptance range is to change up the tortilla. This can be a big…
Pizzicati Cookies
These cute little Italian “pinch” cookies are a light shortbread filled with jam. I love their simplicity and the textural appeal of the curved cookie shape. They are perfect as an afterschool tea and cookie snack, or as a lovely addition to your Christmas cookie box. I feel that every cookie platter needs a jam…
Classic Dutch Baby
As much as I love pancakes, I don’t love standing over the stove all morning. A Dutch Baby is essentially a giant pancake. You whiz up the batter in the blender, dump it in a skillet, and you are free to enjoy the next 10-20 minutes as you wish. You may even finish your cup…
2-Ingredient 2-Bite Biscuits
The concept of a two ingredient biscuit peaked my interest when I began teaching kids cooking classes. When developing recipes, I often ask myself, how do we make something as easy as possible without losing any quality? It doesn’t get any easier than something that only takes two ingredients! I started a whole series of…
Lemon and Herb Hand Pie
Hand pies are one of the most delicious inventions known to humans. It takes almost any food item as a filling and transforms it into a lovely little pocket of flaky wonder. Strawberry jam? Delicious. Leftover taco meat? Incredible. Lemon and herb based gravy? Sooooo yummy. See what I mean? Stick anything into two circles…
Spinach Oat Muffins
It’s not often I come across a recipe that ticks so many boxes. This bright little muffin is entirely whole grain, has spinach for it’s beautiful color and nutrients, and chocolate chips for a little extra flavor and sweetness. It is also an easy win for convincing a toddler to try something green! Muffins can…
Pain Mignon
There are not many smells I like more than freshly baked bread, and I don’t think I am alone in my opinion. This morning, I had these little loaves in the oven and my husband was grinding coffee beans. I was in olfactory bliss. Good smells everywhere! While I love a good baguette, our French…
Crêpes
Standing at my stove, flipping crêpes for my kids, I wonder why they have garnered the reputation of elegant and poised, while the poor American pancake is relegated to delicious, but lowly brunch food. Is it simply the air that all French foods bring along with them? The sense that, because a country made most…
Blueberry Oat Snack Balls
We love making a batch of these on the weekend to take in lunch boxes or eat at snack time. They are the perfect hunger buster. They are sweet, filling, and are packed with fiber, protein, and fat. All nutrients that can be tricky for little ones to get enough of during the day. I…
Sweet Orange Rolls
We made these rolls during our Outstanding Orange course. There is something so delightful about a sweet roll. The whole house smells amazing, they are so soft and sweet, and the it’s almost impossible to wait for them to come out of the oven. That being said, I don’t have time to wait hours for…
Fresh Tomato Pizza Sauce
This sauce is perfect for late summer when tomatoes are cheap and flavorful. You squeeze out the water to create a sauce that is more concentrated tomato-ness. Grown Ups Corner: One reason I like using fresh tomatoes instead of canned is to create a positive tomato experience for students that may have not had one…
