Archive for the ‘With Kids’ CategoryThere are oodles of books about starting seeds from people far more qualified than me to be dispensing advice. If you really want to know everything, I suggest searching out references at your local library. What we do here is a casual process guided mostly by the backs of the seed packets and our own yearning [...] This week we cooked two black bean dishes at the Kids Cook class. Beans of all kinds are high in fiber and protein. The following two recipes are easy for kids to make and enjoy! not the most attractive pictures but I decided to show what they really look like after help from kids Black Bean [...] You know that I love playing with food. I recently submitted a grant proposal to the Couchfire Collective FEAST program. I want to hold a day long open workshop for all ages where we create art with our food (and then eat it!). Instead of a stodgy review process, the $1000 grant winner will be decided [...] A few random things: I was recently invited to be a part of the newly established Ohio Moms Blog. Part of the Silicon Valley Moms Blog group, the Ohio Moms Blog is a collaborative effort of many writing mothers. This is a challenge for me, as I’m not used to writing emotional narrative.

I have three new ingredient topics for December, each repeated twice a week. Bring your three to six year old child and enjoy cooking and learning about healthy food! Tuesday December 1 ~ 4:15 – 5 pm ~ Greens Thursday December 3 ~ 11:15 [...] On Thursday, we explored squash. This lovely vegetable is chock full of vitamins A and C. It is fun to prepare in both savory and sweet applications. We used three types of hard (winter) squash: Golden Nugget, Hokkaido Blue, and Pie Pumpkin. First, we prepared seeds for roasting. Children helped remove the seeds and pith from the [...] The schedule for November classes is set! I will be repeating three classes from October at a new time. I want to see how this time works for me personally and for drawing an interested crowd. Please ‘vote with your participation’ and come to these afternoon classes if you want to see more offered at this [...]  |
