Happy New Year’s: it’s no trifling matter

Published by under Blogs,Recipes

My trifle bowl recipe roundup is now being featured at FoodieView Blog – Recipe Roundup: Trifles: No Trifling Matter.

Trifles are terrific to make with kids since you can use ingredients like store bought sponge cake, instant pudding and premade whipped cream. The layers of cake, pudding, cream and fruit are also fun to put together – and even more delicious to eat. Making a trifle would be a fun family cooking project for a birthday or Super Bowl party.

If you don’t have a large trifle bowl, you can use any type of glass (like a wide mouthed drinking glass or a sundae dish) to make mini-trifles.

So here’s to a happy and delicious New Year!

Hanukkah means potato pancakes

Published by under Holidays,Recipes,Vegetables

j0412058 This year Hanukkah starts on December 12, and I’m excited that we can have potato pancakes (latkes) now that my daughter Lucie is no longer allergic to eggs. We’re not Jewish, but the kids learn about Hanukkah at school as part of the Core Knowledge curriculum. (They learn about various Christmas traditions and Kwanzaa as well.)

However, I grew up celebrating Hanukkah since my father was Jewish. Luckily for my family, my French Catholic mother wholeheartedly embraced Jewish cooking. The woman’s chopped liver and chicken soup were to die for! I grew up eating blintzes, gefilte fish, and bagel and lox along with potato pancakes, so Jewish food is one of my favorite cuisines.

Eating ramen with Kung Fu Panda

Published by under Movies,Recipes

kung fu panda wrapped and ready for ChristmasGreeted with much excitement from my two little karate-masters-in-training, Kung Fu Panda was released last week to DVD. But which version should you buy? Wide or full screen DVD, Blu-Ray, Kung Fu Panda Two  Pack: Kung Fu Panda and Secrets of the Furious in wide or full screen, the pre-Wrapped and Ready for Christmasversion, or the Spanish version?

So many choices! We have the two pack, which is a bargain since it’s a only little more (or possibly less) than the single version depending on where you buy it. I do love the pre-wrapped version for easy holiday giving, too. (I love shopping, but HATE wrapping.) This year Paramount Home Entertainment is pre-wrapping three of their biggest titles – Iron Man, Kung Fu Panda, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The pre-wrapped DVDs will be on shelves at most retailers by November 30 or December 7.

But what to eat while you’re watching Po and the Furious Five defeat Tai Lung? Well, last summer while the movie was still in theaters, I suggested dim sum. But instead, stay home and make some hot ramen noodle soup!

Paula Deen’s My First Cookbook: my review at CafeMom

Published by under Activities,Cookbooks,Recipes

paula deen's my first cookbook I reviewed the new children’s cookbook by Paula Deen – Paula Deen’s My First Cookbook – today at CafeMom where I’m guest posting. You can read it at Hot or Not? Paula Deen’s New Cookbook for Kids.

Not only does the book feature food recipes, but it has directions on how to make salt dough, play clay and this one:

Giant Bubbles

What you’ll need:

  1. 1 large wire coat hanger
  2. Liquid measuring cup
  3. Large, flat pan, big enough for the coat hanger circle to fit into (a deep tray would work, too)
  4. Whisk
  5. 1/2 cup dishwashing liquid
  6. 4 1/2 cups cold water

 

What you’ll do:

  1. boy blowing bubbles Get an adult to bend the coat hanger into a circle for you, making sure there aren’t any rough ends that could scratch you.
  2. Mix the dishwashing liquid and the water in the large flat plan. Whisk the two together.
  3. When the rain stops (Paul recommends doing this on a rainy day since the damp air makes the bubbles bigger and last longer before they pop.) go outside with your supplies. Dip the coat hanger into the bubble solution and lift it straight up, then wave it through the air. Giant bubbles should appear.
  4. If you have leftovers, keep them in a jar and use them again. They won’t go bad!

Have fun and check out Paula Deen’s My First Cookbook for more terrific recipes and children’s cooking activities.
