1) Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl:

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

Kids Cook Black Bean Salsa and Smashed Beans

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

The Best Beans and Rice Ever

Tuesday night I cooked the best beans and rice ever.

I’m sure it’s the best because I grew the beans, picked the beans, dried the beans, and finally cooked them.  Do you know how many fresh beans it takes to make a cup of dried beans? Now I do.

I didn’t use a recipe (I rarely do) [...]

Honey Blondies

Tomorrow’s Kids Cook class is all about honey.  I searched for a dish that featured honey and would be appropriate for us to make and package as a Valentine gift.  Enter honey blondies.

Really a short dense cake, these treats are sweetened by honey alone.  They are delicious and super easy to make.  I baked them [...]

Mushroom Pie

A few readers asked about the mushroom pie listed on my Xmas Eve menu.  This pie is a full flavored nutrition packed attractive entree that I love to serve to meat lovers and vegetarians alike.

I apologize for the lack of good pictures.  I was super busy hosting and neglected my duties a bit.

From the The [...]

Confit Canard (Duck Confit)

So what do you do with all of the wonderful rendered fat from the roasted duck?  You didn’t throw it away did you?  Rendered waterfowl fat is one of the most delicious cooking mediums out there.  One of the tastiest dishes that can be made with it is Confit Canard also known as Duck Confit.

Make it Yourself: Fruitcake

Two years ago, my aunt brought fruitcake to our holiday celebration.  I can’t say I had ever tried fruitcake before, but this was delicious!  Juicy, rich, alcoholic, and sweetened by real fruit not sugar or fluorescent candied stuff -  what could be wrong?

Last year, I made fruitcake myself.  I split the batter between one large [...]

Make it Yourself: Cranberry Liqueur

I have made it no secret that I love cranberries.  Raw cranberries, snowy sugared cranberries, cranberry bread…  Transformed into an alcoholic additive is another delicious way to enjoy these little pearls of antioxidant goodness!

The cranberry liqueur recipe I use is adapted from Cooking Light, December 2003.  It makes a lovely gift packaged in a decorative [...]

Snowy Sugared Cranberries

Snowy cranberries are the most addicting winter dessert I make.  I eat these candies until my mouth turns raw from the sour acids.  I rationalize that they are healthy because raw cranberries are low calorie and high in antioxidants and vitamin C.  They look beautiful on a dessert table and are a breeze to make.

Kids Cook Green Monster Smoothie and Kale Chips

This week’s Kids Cook class was about greens.

A great way to talk to kids about healthy eating is to compare foods to a rainbow.  What do you like to eat that is red?  yellow?  green?  Eating colorful foods means you are taking in all the vitamins you need.  We sang a song about the rainbow [...]
