Feeding children isn’t easy; just look at the number of bunny, fishy, gummy, gooey, processed, packaged and prepared kids foods available and you’ll get a sense of just how difficult it can be. Children are opinionated from the get go, and food is one of the first places they learn to express their views – and test your limits. But a child’s intellectual capacity is far from fully developed; therefore, allowing a child to decide what to eat, when to eat, and how just isn’t feasible. So, how does a mother of two boys create meals on a daily basis that keep them excited about what’s for dinner? I asked Kathrin to let us know what she does, because her boys rarely leave anything on the plate. Here’s what she said are her top 10 ways to keep it exciting around the dinner table. Hope all, some or at least one will inspire you. Come and cook with us! Continue reading “Children’s Healthy Eating Habits”

Kathrin and I sat down to discuss why we are dedicated to publishing this blog weekly and we realized that for us cooking is a culture, a ritual, and a process that we wouldn’t (couldn’t, shouldn’t) live without.

We hope you agree, and if you are in need of inspiration you can find it here. Let us know why you cook; we’d love to hear from you. Come and cook with us! Continue reading “Why We Cook.”
Back to School Night
Welcome back! It’s been a summer to remember with earthquakes, hurricanes, heat waves, and, here on the West Coast, unseasonably cool temperatures. Weather notwithstanding, in the “warm” months we tend to break rules more easily and that’s okay because if not in summer, then when? Kathrin and I have had our share of treats this year (we’ve favored ice cream, wine, and burritos on the go); nevertheless, the ritual of Labor Day puts a fine point on the end of summer and is a great time to regroup on how to eat for the rest of year. This Labor Day Kathrin and I made a pact to commit to one change for the better in our approach to eating. We invite you to join us. Continue reading “Back to School Night”
