This year, the International Association of Culinary Professionals had their annual conference in San Francisco - just 40 minutes away from home. Since What's Cooking with Kids is no longer my "real" job, I couldn't justify the expense to officially attend the conference. But I quickly realized that I could volunteer as a way of earning my keep. In addition to visiting with friends, I also got to participate in an amazing field trip to my friend's vineyard, Petrichor, in Sonoma County. Her...
Recently, members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) were in San Francisco for the annual conference. Every year, the Kids in the Kitchen section does a workshop with local children to inspire them to cook and eat healthy foods. I was the co-chair for this section for two years, but ever since I returned to classroom teaching two years ago, I have been admiring their work from a distance. Fortunately for me, the San Francisco conference was close to home, and...
My daughter recently started middle school and has been busy with friends, homework and cross country practice. Helping me make a meal is pretty low on her list of priorities lately, although she would rather take on that job than put away the piles of clean laundry that litter her bedroom floor. Maybe that's why I was so surprised when she offered to help me prep veggies for dinner this weekend.
Now that I have returned to work full time, my time is more precious than ever. I only have...
When I sat down to write this post, my first inclination was to apologize for the long delay between posts. But then I thought again. I am a high school teacher, and have devoted the summer to my children and improving my lessons for the upcoming year. Nothing to apologize for.
Right after school ended, we went up to Oregon for my sister's wedding. It was beautiful. The wedding. AND Oregon. And best of all, I had a great time on the road trip up there, even though I worried that my...

Today, our summer camp students created a delicious menu from the Mediterranean. I must confess, there is nothing quite as sweet as hearing 14 students begging for seconds of Falafel!

My mom loves to surprise us with fun gifts for our family kitchen. And as much as we love to receive these gifts, I think it thrills her equally to hear about our adventures in the kitchen using them together. So, today's post is dedicated to her. Thanks, mama, for our new Zoku!
As I was browsing through the pages of my recent issue of Cooking Light magazine, this pudding pop recipe caught my eye. I thought it would be perfect to try in our new gizmo - and yowza - it was awesome!

My son and I haven't been getting along very well lately. In fact, I have been pondering a post sharing some of our struggles - but I am not sure if it would betray him or his right to privacy. At the same time, it might be useful to any of you out in cyberspace experiencing challenges raising your kids - especially to know you are not alone.
But this is not that post. Instead, this is a mostly a photo essay, showing how we spent our afternoon today. We bonded. Over dessert. And it was...
We love shaved ice...but not the artificial colors that usually come with it. Call me crazy, but I don't love the blue and red tint that colors my children's lips and teeth for the rest of the day.
Thanks to West Bend, we got the opportunity to test out an Ice Shaver and try our hand at creating some flavorings that I could be proud of. The best part? You can win all of these awesome products, too (the details are below).
And look at these adorable silicone molds and cute holders...
