Serves 4 We don’t know why sweet potatoes aren’t even more loved than white potatoes. They are so much cooler! First, they taste better. Second, they’re bright orange! Who doesn’t love orange food? We eat orange foods like sweet potatoes, carrots, and pumpkins because…
Serves 4 Popeye may eat spinach from a can, but we think you’ll prefer fresh spinach! You may have had spinach in a salad, but it’s really neat to cook spinach because it shrinks in the pan! We also think you’ll like spinach better with bacon. Lots of bacon! We eat…
Serves 4 If you’re like our boys, you probably see the world as being full of weapons. Any stick becomes a sword or a gun and any string becomes a whip. Well, it shouldn’t be a shock, then, that the first time we had asparagus they were immediately used as spears….
Serves 4 One of our favorite restaurants serves food from a country called Vietnam. If you’ve never tried this kind of food, you should give it a shot! Most Vietnamese restaurants are full of healthy choices for you, and their herbs and spices taste so fresh! Just…
Serves 6 When we were growing up, Brussels sprouts, or as we like to call them, little cabbages, were famous in movies and TV shows for being yucky to kids. Our boys are lucky they give everything a chance though, because these Brussels sprouts are some of our very…
Serves 4 What are latkes you ask? Well, I know them as little potato pancakes that I like to eat with applesauce. Since we missed them we thought these fun and surprising little green cakes would be a good substitute. They’re even better, actually! They’re slightly…
Serves 8 We checked out a book from a library once about a bunny that loved carrots. The book was pretty silly, because the bunny rabbit was always getting in trouble with a farmer for sneaking into his garden and eating his carrots. At the end was a recipe for carrot…
Serves 4 If you find really big and thick carrots, this is a perfect way to cut and serve them. If not, this will work with whole baby carrots just as well. Carrots are one of our favorite vegetables; it’s a sweet root vegetable that is high in beta-carotene, a…
Serves 6–8 You know the movie Ratatouille about the mouse who cooks? When we watched the movie, we wanted to make ratatouille for ourselves! We were able to find the ingredients all at our local farmers’ market on a weekend in July. It was cool to find all the…
Serves 4 Deviled eggs are hard-boiled eggs that have the yellow yolk in the middle taken out, mixed up with yummy stuff, and then stuffed back into the white. Often you’ll find deviled eggs at parties sitting out on a buffet. They’re so yummy; our boys eat them like…
Serves 6 When we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas, one particular part interested us at the end—the part where the Whos eat ROAST BEAST! We wondered what a roast beast might taste like, so we decided to make one ourselves. The biggest beast we could roast was a…
Serves 6 Our great grandfather’s family is from a country called Hungary. When they get together, they must be REALLY hungry because they bring dozens of stuffed cabbages they call halupkis. The whole family gobbles them up like they’re starving, leaving only crumbs…
