Angry Birds Onigiri Lunch Box
An idea struck me when it was my son’s lunch box day on Fridays. Jon loves Onigiri, so I decided to make him an Angry Birds Lunch Box! Angry Birds, the popular & best-selling mobile game, has taken the world by storm. The game is about these birds who’re angry because their eggs were stolen by a bunch of green pigs. Since they can’t fly, they’ve to use a giant slingshot to catapult themselves to destroy those…
Mushroom Chicken Burgers and Bake-Fries
{a Foodwhirl Re-run} Years ago, when the fat-free fad was all the rage (oh, how very far we’ve come) I got on a turkey-burger kick using 99% fat free ground turkey breast. The problem with 99% fat free anything is that it has very little fat (duh), which means very little moisture (or flavor, for that matter). So, I devised a way to reintroduce moisture to the mix without increasing the fat content …

Jenn says: The kids get two snack breaks at school, two! Which means I need to get creative. I decided to make them some snack bars – I could just buy them the boxed bars at the store, but I hate pre-…
Spinach croquettes
I was one of those picky eater kids who would never eat vegetables. I would gag, cry, induce vomit – anything to not eat my green beans. Once, during a family vacation to Cape Cod, my uncle placed celery stalks in the shape of a cross outside my bedroom door to keep me in bed. It worked. My punishment is that I now have one of those children. The recipe I am going to give you is the only green vegetable that…

Cook with your kids: Homemade pizza
One of the best ways to get your kids to try new things is to get them involved in the process. Let them see where their food comes from, or how it’s made, and I guarantee they’ll be excited about eating it. My four-year-old got to help plant our family garden last summer, and he loved eating the veggies that came out of it as the summer went on. Sugar snap peas were his absolute favorite (we almost…
