Cooking is Fun Momma...






We Are trying to go beyond Spaghetti for a   Italian Meal for Patience.

For when she grows up I never want her to say “ when I was younger my parents put me

On a diet” and it was awful. Teaching her while she is young to enjoy

The beauty of cooking is so important. Food should  be something she enjoys.

It is always fun to try new veggies and fruit . And I love hearing her say hey Mom Can we get a Eggplant today..LOL


This week from the library we checked out “ There’s A Chef In My World” By Emeril Lagasse.

I plan to let her make her own recipe box to store her recipes in. The book has many easy lost cost recipes, very kid friendly.  I like the book because it tells the origin and history of the recipe. (It makes it more appealing to kids when you teach them something) Rather than saying “ Hey let’s eat this because its good for you”


Swiss Muesli


3 cups of Old fashion rolled oats

1 cup of silvered almonds

1 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts

½ cup of honey ( or agave nectar)

½ cup of dried apples

½ cup of dried apricots


This Granola- like cereal was invented by a Swiss doctor and makes a healthy breakfast. You can eat plain or spoon over yogurt or fresh fruit and drizzle with honey if you like.



1. Preheat over to 300

2. On a large baking sheet combine, oats, almonds, and walnuts and bake for 30 minutes stirring once after 15 minutes.

3. Using oven mitts remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the cereal
