The mini gourmet: chocolate velvet beet cupcakes

October 15, 2012 by crayonsandcroissants

Catherine McCord shares the recipe for chocolate velvet beet cupcakes from her new Weelicious cookbook. Ever since Little M started eating solids, I have been spending a lot more time in the kitchen. I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and cooking up nutritious dishes for him. It is really important to me that he develop an appreciation for all kinds of different foods, spices and flavors. I frequently turn to Weelicious in my search for kid-friendly meals that the whole […]

Kids in the kitchen

October 1, 2012 by crayonsandcroissants

I have always been a firm believer in getting kids involved in the kitchen. Letting children take a hands-on approach to cooking encourages them to enjoy their meals and will also hopefully lead to a healthier attitude towards food in the future. While it may not always be easy to let your little one help out, I find that there are usually small jobs that Little M can do. Of course, having kid-friendly kitchen products always helps!

Which is why I was really excited when I found these unusual ninja cookie cutters from Fred and Friends. Around here, we use cookie cutters for many things: making sandwiches in different shapes, crafting with our play dough and of course, […]

Mealtime. Beep beep.

September 21, 2012 by crayonsandcroissants

Mealtime is usually a busy time in our household. I get Little M settled in his high chair and he watches while I get his food ready. He is learning to feed himself using his own spoon and fork, which makes for a fun, and messy, experience. We try to avoid plastic as much as we can and I am constantly searching for safer alternatives, especially when it comes to dinnerware. I found this wonderful plate from Innobaby that seems […]

Dining Out

September 17, 2012 by crayonsandcroissants

Finding the perfect restaurant for dining out with a toddler can be a challenge. Little M and I enjoy eating out. We love perusing the menus, making our selections and people-watching. Little M sometimes gets impatient waiting for his food, as is the case with many toddlers (and some adults)! Any resto that serves us our food quickly, with a smile and with crayons is a winner in my book! I’ll be writing up our fave finds, with photos of […]
