• Kitchenista: Breakfast on the Fly

  I have a love/hate relationship with breakfast. I love to eat it, but I hate to make it for my kids. Well, that's not entirely true. If I could spend an hour making and enjoying a leisurely breakfast while my kids dressed themselves, brushed their teeth, and packed their lunch, I'd be golden. So while I can't make pancakes every morning for my kids, I can make them on the weekends and then freeze them for the week. Are they as good as fresh from the griddle pancakes? Well, my old boss at America's Test Kitchen would say no, but my 4-year-old doesn't seem to mind. Read More...

• Kitchenista: Just Beet It

  Steps for enjoying the wonder that is the beet: 1) Clear your mind of previous beet experiences. Canned beets taste like lots of unpleasant things but don't actually taste like beets.   Read More...

• Kitchenista: A Snack and A Craft

  In the interest of keeping things simple in the summer, here's a recipe that also doubles as a craft for the kids. The only real cooking required is the initial boiling of the rice. The rest is just assembly, which can be easily farmed out to the little hands you're trying to occupy.   Read More...

• Kitchenista: Honeymoon Special*

  In honor of the Tony's this weekend, a quote from the witch from Into the Woods: right now, we are surrounded by "greens, greens, nothing but greens." Our CSA share has been chock full of lettuces of all shapes and sizes. Which has given me some of the easiest meals ever -- and given me a chance to perfect my basic vinaigrette. It's so easy that your kids can do it.   Read More...

• Hip Hop Friday with video: Secret Agent 23 Skidoo

  Easy by Secret Agent 23 Skidoo   Our fave in the bunch, this dad with the super cool name decided there had to be a compromise between the adult hip hop world and the sugary sweet kid music choices. Secret Agent 23 Skidoo’s new record Easy hits the mark with lyrics that don’t shout "this is kid stuff!" even while referencing robots. No choreographed tunes for your rowdy rhymer, this MC is about freestylin’. He’s also about keeping things positive and we think he got it just right with Gotta Be Me! Check out this vid.   Posted May 02 2008, 03:03 PM by editors with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: kids music, Babble Review, mp3, easy, hip hop for kids, gotta be me, secret agent 23 skidoo

• Crafty: A Quickie, with Pins

  You - yes, you in the back who claims to not be able to do anything "crafty" - can do this. The only requirement is that you're allowed to use scissors and glue. OK, yes, that might exclude you, the little shaky one on my left. But everyone else can do this. Read More...

• Crafty: I Want Candy

  I spent the last half of my senior year of high school making a gigantic chain out of gum wrappers. I'd gotten into my college of choice and no longer really cared about the whole "learning" thing. I worked on the chain during classes, madly folding my gum wrappers. By commencement, I had a chain as long as I am tall. Which lead to one problem: Read More...
