tales from a wine country kitchen
Sunday hooky: a day filled with NO plans.
Ketan and I play.
We start with homemade playdough for some crafty awesomeness.
Then we bust out my make-up brushes and get down to artistic business.
These are my happiest days, when the smell of pancakes cooking on a buttered griddle fill the air, the house is toasty warm, and we are in our jammies playing.
…Initially overwhelmed and dismayed by the burden of being a Superhero, Ketan quickly regains his composure realizing he has no choice but to accept!
…Happy Halloween 2012…
How excited am I that kids storybooks double as cookbooks? Tell you it’s a win for my little man and a win for his mama. Ketan loves his books and now I can bring them to life in the kitchen. I had to jump on it. Recipes were hit and miss, so let me replay some of the hits for you.
Three storybooks, three recipes.
Toddlers are picky eaters. Around 9 months to a year, I was strutin’ around like a rooster thinking my boy was “different.”
My friends would share their food preparation frustration as I listened sweetly oblivious to the road ahead.
Who could like something one day, and hate it the next? A toddler.
When does food ever taste better eaten off the ground versus a plate? It does…if you’re a toddler.
Where did this pre-determined bias against any texture closely related to meat come from? Hmm, are they a toddler?
Why can meal time become such a stressful part of the day? You have a toddler.
Determined to win this battle, I kicked into stubborn mama mode, afterall Ketan’s got nutritional needs.
