Buttercream Birthday Bash


Posted by Sandy Smith on Kids Cuisine.

For Christmas this year, my daughter received a piping bag with a set of tips. She’s had so much fun decorating cakes and cupcakes with it since then that I decided that for her twelfth birthday party, we’d spread the fun around a little—literally. We invited a few friends, […]

Tea for Children and for a Cause


Posted by Kristen Nweeia on A Nice Cuppa
Kids just love tea parties and what better way to play than with a real brewed tea made just for them? Republic of Tea has introduced a fruity caffeine-free tea for kids of all ages. Best yet, they contribute a portion of the sales to an honorable children’s […]

Delicious Magazine March 2008


Posted by Andrew Barrow on Paper Palate
Fifteen meals for less than a fiver, Suppers in Under 30 Minutes, Jamie’s brilliant seasonal recipes, Jill Dupleix’s Big Soups - there’s a lot in this issue (as is the norm).
Being a bit of a sweet-fiend, Britain’s Best Puds was the obvious first stop. The five, complete with full […]

Size Does Matter!


Posted by Erika Waz on Kids Cuisine
I asked my daughter recently if she wanted to help me make a salad for dinner. She was excited and quickly agreed, but when I handed her a cutting board, she became hesitant. On the other end of the counter was my cutting board and knife — a 10″ […]

Banana Walnut Multigrain Muffins


Posted by Sandy Smith on Just Baking
Okay, I’ll admit it: I don’t love whole wheat! But I do love experimenting with recipes that use whole wheat in a way that camouflages the rather strong (to me, anyway) flavor of it. To that end, I’ve made countless batches of muffins, cookies, pancakes, and quick breads with […]

The main block of daytime, “in-kitchen” programming is anchored by: Bobby […]

Mini Man Burgers


Posted by Todd M Johns on The Cook’s Kitchen

Sliders, bombers, or mini man burgers, call them what you want, but a mini burger on a griddle is close to heaven on earth. Alton Brown featured what he called “Mini Man Burgers” on his Man Food episode. Fans of White Castle or Krystal’s […]

The Athlete Gourmet - Pizza Party


Posted by Sara Maamouri on Fit Fare.
The night before a race, it’s nice to get together with your friends, other participants as well as family, significant others and other cheerleaders. While many races offer a pre-race pasta party or something along those lines, I’m usually completely afraid of those, with visions of starving athletes and […]

5-Minute Gnocchi for Hungry Kids


Posted by Kelby Carr on Kids Cuisine
When toddlers are hungry, they are hungry NOW. I like to still put something together that somewhat resembles prepared food, however. The other day, I threw together a gnocchi lunch that (with the exception of water boiling time) took less than five minutes. It also included some pretty healthy […]
