  • Heaven Help Me Eat This

    Heaven Help Me Eat This

    Some days I like to help make dinner.  This week I helped make a version of Rachael Ray’s Mighty Migas recipe for dinner one night.  I crushed the bag of tortilla chips with a meat tenderizer, which is a lot of fun to whack!  And pressed the buttons on the blender to blend the jar [...]

  • Play With Dough

    Play With Dough

    Following the non-toy toy theme this week, Rah-Rah and decided to make play dough.  This stuff is a cross between a toy, and something to eat.  I helped measure and mix the flour and salt in one bowl, and the water and food coloring in another.  Then Rah and I mixed the wet and dry [...]

  • This Taste Bud’s For You

    This Taste Bud’s For You

    Tasting new food is always an adventure, and I’ve tasted some food that’s been yummy, and some food that’s incredibly yucky.  Not too long ago I tried ice cream for the first time, and that was awesome.  At first I did not like the cold feeling in my mouth, and I wanted Da to heat [...]

    Hurray for Sorbet

    1 pint strawberries          1 lime, squeezed               1/3 cup sugar On such a hot day it’s nice to make a granita or sorbet. I like to use in-season summer fruit, like watermelon or strawberries, but I haven’t tried it with cherries. Cut up the fruit and put in the blender, add [...]

  • The Thrill of the Grill

    The Thrill of the Grill

    When it comes to summer cooking, my Da-Da is in charge of all the grilling.  Rah won’t go anywhere near the shiny beast machine.  He’s really good at it too, better than anything he makes inside the house, or at least not as good as Rah-Rah.  My favorite barbeque dish that Da prepares is a Cajun [...]

  • Guess How Much I Love This?

    Guess How Much I Love This?

    I thought I liked Rah-Rah’s Saturday morning pancakes a lot, but that was before she introduced me to the world of granola.  Now I prefer this breakfast staple more than anything else.  I eat it with Stoneyfield yogurt, and Rah-Rah likes hers with Fage.  When Rah makes gruelola, (that’s how granola’s pronounced in Toddlerese) I [...]

    Yum? Yum? Aquarium

    Recently I’ve been introduced to the world of sweet treats, and now I want them all the time.  Unfortunately, I live in a home where candy is not my source of vitamins and nutrition.  So I’m always delightfully surprised when a special treat comes my way.  This weeks recipe features ingredients you’d never find on [...]

  • Stop. Collaborate and Bake

    Stop. Collaborate and Bake

    When Rah-Rah gets out the Big Mama Mixer I know that means serious baking business.   I dumped the dry, measured ingredients into the Big Mama Mixer bowl, and watched the mixer go round and round like a merry-go-round.  Rah shaped the cookies, and I put on the finishing touch: M&Mmmm’s.  Bottom line, I’d stop for [...]

    Angel’s Hair Pasta

    I know it’s not appetizing to associate food with hair, but don’t worry, this recipe uses the hair from angels, not people, so it must be good.  Here’s the steps to creating this meal in your home: Finely chop a small onion and two cloves of garlic.  Add 1-2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying [...]

  • Da Can Cook

    Da Can Cook

    As I mentioned in going, Rah was sick this week, so Da was in charge of feeding me.  Lucky for me, Da-Da is capable of making food for me that I like to eat, and he made tea and toast for Rah.  If Da hadn’t been able to come home from work, I’m pretty sure [...]
