10 Cooking Skills Your Kids Should Know
When Erica was about 7, she decided she wanted to learn how to cook! I had been having the conversation with her: “When you are a mom, you are going to need to know how to cook!” So, she pulled out an old spiral bound notebook, put page numbers throughout the ENTIRE thing, and asked me to spell each and every ingredient for our salad (the recipe she is holding was a bread recipe). Then she started an index. I thought it was so stinkin cute, I wanted to rush out and buy her her very own CUTE recipe binder where she can collect her favorite recipes until she leaves home. I resisted however, and decided to let her do it her own way. She doesn’t know any better.
Baby Food Peach Palooza and Yummi Pouch Portable Storage Container
When I had my first baby, the only baby food options to buy out there were the ones in a jar. Those are great if you are in a pinch, but on the go, they can be kind of a pain. You have to have a spoon, open the jar, hold the jar with one hand and the spoon with the other…….you get the idea. But now they have those cool pouches with the little spout that the baby can just suck right out of. The downside is that they can be kind of expensive. Recently, Yummi Pouch emailed me telling me about their product. I immediately knew it was worth checking out and I was right!
How Priscilla Stephan Discovered Her Path to Wellness
Running herself into the ground is a thing of the past for Integrative Nutrition grad Priscilla Stephan. After 15 years as an executive in corporate America, feeling chronically fatigued and unfulfilled, the light at the end of the tunnel came once she enrolled in the Health Coach Training Program in 2011.

She uses a no-diet, no-deprivation method that holistically considers food intake, stress, sleep, relationships, and other lifestyle factors.
Crispy Baked Chimichangas
My husband is one of those people who will literally eat anything. He grew up in a family of 8 children, and there was no room for being picky. All of his siblings are the same way and it is awesome – and amazing. How did his mom do it?? One thing she did is that she always had a garden and so they ate lots of fresh veggies. I have never met people who love to just take a bite out of a tomato like they do. And they all love beets………and Swiss chard. And Brussels sprouts. You get the idea. So when we got married, my husband was a bit surprised to find out that I had a more ‘discriminating palate’ as I like to call it. Because he is so un-picky (there has got to be a better term for that) he really likes to try new and different foods. He never orders the same thing at a restaurant. Ever. The longer we have been married, the more his influence has rubbed off on me and I started wanting to try more foods. I remember thinking mushrooms were completely disgusting and were classified as a fungus for a reason. But of course my husband LOVES mushrooms. And so I began forcing myself to eat them over and over in the hopes that one day I would appreciate their unique texture and flavor. And guess what happened? It worked! I now can honestly say that I love mushrooms. I did this with quite a few foods. And even entire food groups. I was never a big Mexican food fan. Enter husband who lives for spicy foods. And now? I LOVE Mexican food.
I am not sure chimichangas are classified as Mexican food, but for my purposes they are. They are typically deep fried and stuffed with beef or chicken and cheese. A big deep fried, meat filled chimichanga would probably feel the same as a pound of rocks sitting in the bottom of your stomach. But they sounded delicious one afternoon and so this is a lighter version I came up with.
