This all sounds great, even though I doubt I’ll ever actually do any of this

I love the concept of cooking and introducing one’s children to new foods in fun ways.
But let’s face it, I’m just not that kind of girl.
Take those beautiful kitchens with the cooking island in the middle with the rack hanging from the ceiling with all the pots and pans hanging from it, everything all spotless and dust-free and fantastic.
Love. It.
I’ve always wanted one of those kitchens.
Of course, the idea that I’d actually use said kitchen is pretty funny to most folks who know me, not least of all my husband. Though I am really good at making seafood (I lived in South Florida for six years) and step in whenever we get shrimp, scallops or the like.
So when friend and fellow blogger Linda Lombroso pointed me toward the In the Motherhood site the other day, specifically to the recipes of Arlen Gargagliano, a chef and cookbook author (and mother of two) who lives in New Rochelle, my first reaction was, “cool!”
And it is cool. Gargagliano shares all sorts of ideas that sound easy and quite doable. This post is all about tapas and how they’re the perfect serving size for the little ones and can introduce greater variety in the their eating habits.
She also has posts on pizza-like meals (my mother-in-law sometimes makes what she calls “pretend pizza” for Rafael and he loooves it), creating sandwich spreads, and the possibilities of the pita.
I know some of my fellow bloggers right here on ice cream is not for breakfast will probably try some of these out, as will some of you, our dear, dear readers.
So if you do, please get back to me. Maybe I can share these with my husband (who does cook rather well) and my mother-in-law.
And maybe, just maybe, I’ll even jump on the bandwagon.
Hey, stop laughing!
