Little Chef A was ready for another Giada recipe. We found Fried Ravioli from the Food Network. From reading the recipe it seemed easy. It has only a 15 minute cooking time! That means it should take us about an hour! Little Chef A went to the grocery store with me to find all the ingredients for this weeks recipes. She was extremely excited to have one on one time with me at the store! Little Chef A put {Read More}

Our Chicken Fajitas were featured at 30 Handmade Days! Thanks so much! My Little Chefs are starting to sound like they are experts. Some are more daring then others to voice their opinion. Some ask more questions then others. Most of those conversations occur while we are cooking. Some occur when we watch Food Network or when someone else is making the meal. Most of the time I laugh and they are not sure what to say to {Read More}

Today’s post really should be named Questions. What does this do? What does that do? It made me feel not very smart. I didn’t have the answers. I think we need to become Alton Brown students because he is so good at explaining the purpose of each ingredient. I have made this Too Much Chocolate Cake recipe once before with rave reviews. It is simple because it is made with a boxed cake mix and some extra additions. We were {Read More}

For one night when Little Chef Dad is away for work we usually have breakfast for dinner. This evening Little Chef A wanted to make German Pancakes. She remembers loving them after making them for the first time with Grandma. Don’t you love how memories are tied together with food! Little Chef A got out the eggs to crack. It is so funny to me that she says, “Oopsy” each time she cracks it open with her thumbs as {Read More}
