A conversation between Ashley and Kristin
Kristin: I picked up this really cool looking cookbook and I
think I might do a review on it. It’s by these parents cooking with their kids
and it’s really funny.
Ashley: OMG! I requested that book because it looked good.
Misha Collins is the guy from Supernatural and he and his wife created it
because their kids were starting to want just chicken nuggets and food like
that.
Kristin: I flipped through it and I might copy a couple of
recipes, but I’m really enjoying the parts like “Culinary Frontiers—recipes
only a kid could dream up”. This particular one, “Breakfast Popsicles”, has the
ending: “We can’t recommend making these at home—unless you want a breakfast
that’ll haunt you till the day you die.” Those popsicles have scrambled eggs in
them.
Ashley: Those recipes by the kids are really funny. I really
liked “The Pirate’s Eye aka The Bird in the Nest”. Eggs, bread, a frying pan,
and you have breakfast.
Kristin: The “Egg and Cheese Cupcakes” sound good, and kids
can help with them. Every single recipe has something that the kids can do
safely. I guess the kids are much more likely to eat the food when they have
helped make it, not to mention picking it from the garden or from the grocery.
Ashley: The “Shiitake Crispies” recipe was one that I would
like to try. And “Mix ‘N’ Match ‘Fried’ Chicken” sounds really good with the
spices coating each piece of chicken.
Kristin: The illustrations are great too. After the kids are
shown eating their “Make-a-Huge-Mess-Sandwich” (spaghetti with sauce on bread)
then their dad is throwing a huge pot of water to rinse them off! Some of the
photoshoots look like they got out of hand—I can only wonder how much it cost
to fill a claw foot bathtub with greens for the kids to sit in and toss around!
Kristin and Ashley: Yay!—We wrote a review because we love
cookbooks! We recommend this to anyone with kids or anyone who is embracing
their inner child.
