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…
School Lunch Box Tips | 7 GoodNCrazy Ideas
Cafeteria lunches seem to be increasing in cost while decreasing in nutrition and flavor. As a mom of 3 GoodNCrazy kids I’ve had to come up with creative ideas to get the kids out the door in a realistic time-frame while keeping their tummies happy! We tend to pack lunches about 50% of school days. First, the kids scan the cafeteria menu and chose the days for ‘cold lunch’. Usually skipping the dreaded t…

Waffled Monte Cristo Sandwich
The Monte Cristo is a legendary artery-clogging treat: it’s a breaded and deep-fried ham sandwich served with a side of raspberry jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Sounds amazing, but it’s not something I want to serve to my toddlers. Enter the waffle iron: I can make the sandwich fun and kid-friendly by making it waffly and healthy by avoiding the deep fryer. This sandwich will please a…
Dinner in 15 minutes: Broccoli and Cheese Frittata
So, my husband works a second job two nights a week. On these nights, when it’s just me and the little boys, I like to do quick and easy dinners that don’t take my attention away from the children for too long. It would be super simple to open a box of something and dump it on a plate, or run through the drive-through on the way home, but I really try to avoid doing either of those things as much as possibl…
Whole-grain carrot and cheese crackers
This was an experiment loosely based on a recipe I saw over on foodtale.com. She drew me in with her beautiful photographs and intrigued me with her carrot and cheese snack crackers. I wanted to do something similar, but use whole wheat flour and flax-seed meal to increase the nutritional benefits. I was afraid a straight substitution would result in a dry, dense batter. “What would whipped egg w…
Cheesecake Cookie Cupcakes
You had me at cheesecake. Another recipe from Grieg Wehr, a true Renaissance man – photographer, entertainer, and…nanny. Well, he prefers “manny”. Grieg brought these to a recent party and as he put the finishing touches on them, all the party guests followed him from the kitchen (where all party guests seem to accumulate) to the food table, with our supplicant hands, pleadin…
Heading back to work…
…is looming over my head. I’ve been out on maternity leave for the past three months, and while I’m looking forward to the adult interaction and intellectual stimulation that comes with doing my job, I’m not looking forward to leaving my three-month-old baby behind. He’s just now starting to get really interesting. Having been home for the last few months has meant ge…
