Little Chef D was reading the Food Network magazine and wanted to make Almost Famous Pecan Waffles. The pecans were placed on a cookie sheet and baked until toasted. After they were toasted, Little Chef D used the hand chopper and easily chopped them into smaller pieces. While the pecans were toasting she measured the […]

  We pulled out the turkey from the refrigerator and cut open the bag. Little Chef A patted the turkey dry on both sides and placed it in the roasting pan. Little Chef C cut the orange and onion in 8ths. She did it the night before so she knew exactly how to do it, […]

  When Little Chef A first made Crostini Alla Romana it was successful except the bread was too thick.  Caprese Tartlets by Melissa D’ Arabian have pretty much the same ingredients. Tarlets are small and that is what my Little Chefs love to eat; anything small. Little Chef A used one of our favorite tools, […]

We have made quite a few different French Bread recipes. They all take about 3 hours to make. It is hard to find 3 hours where we are not on the go. This recipe takes about 1.5 hours start to finish. I was skeptical it would taste great because the time was cut in half, […]

This past Monday we went to Mangia Mangia Monday (pizza and soda night) at Cafe Bella Rue located in Daybreak, Utah. Thin crust pizza’s are discounted and fountain drinks are $0.50! What a great deal for a family outing! We tried the Margehrita, Three Meat, and Mediterranean Pizzas. There are a lot of us, but […]

It seems a lot of the recipes we have in reserve to try require shredded chicken. I thought we could try to make our own from a whole chicken. I was hoping if we roasted two chickens the time and effort would be worth it and we would have enough shredded chicken for multiple meals. […]

  Today is product review day. I was having a hard time coming up with a product to review because I don’t feel we have had sufficient time to use the tools to accurately review. I have a few tools in mind, but would like another week to use them to see how they perform. […]

Today we have an impressive meal to share. This was our very first time trying it. What I love about Sesame-Ginger Salmon en Papillote is the sauce and the convenience of all the vegetables and fish in a cute little packet. Pass one out per person and dinner is served! We didn’t change to much […]

Five Little Chefs – Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles Little Chef D did a wonderful job cutting off the ends of the beans. She used a steak knife because that is all she is able to use safely. She HAD to cut both ends off!  While she was cutting she said, “Excellent, excellent I love it!” […]

The Little Chefs are off track so we have been doing some traveling. We have had a rough few months and have needed to take a break and just have fun away from home! Denver was last week which was a work and play trip. We are on our way home from Southern California today […]

Five Little Chefs – Orange Creamsicle Buddies This week I was reading food blogs and decided to choose a few I thought they would enjoy. I then showed the Little Chefs the pictures and asked if they wanted to make any they saw. One of the sites was Cooking Classy where we found Orange Creamsicle […]
