Do kids like crudites?...well these ones did:)

Instead of making Tabbouleh, I used three kinds of pasta shapes with the tomato,parsley, olives and olive oil toss...beats that grainy bulgur. For real, kids DON"T eat Tabbouleh.
The hummus turned out perfect and by adding sweet corn to a yummy creamy dairy-free red lentil soup, we even had corn chowder.
Kids really like natural wholesome foods...it's so gratifying to see their sense for simplicity and purity.
Ants on a log...

Couldn't resist this one. The serving line captain insisted on making these for the kids...when really...he was the most excited about them
Cake cups. Yes exactly...

Here's the newest and latest from today: cake cups...we made Dawnrigoni's rhubarb stir cake for a family dinner of 74...and served it as cake cups. The recipe probably would work well for cupcakes, but for today...this is how it went. With whipped vanilla cream...
DELICIOUS!
I had a rhubarb stalk out to show the kids what it looks like and then even ate it with the adventurous ones...the lill guy couldn't help his face twist into sour, as if he'd bitten into a lemon...it was so funny. Forgot to take a pic.
Raw fish? YES please, with a twist of lime

YUMMM, Ceviche or whatever you want to call it.
My friend Tom reminded me of this delicious spring summer dish.
Raw sole or snapper are best, but there is no end in creative 'marinating' for this divine snack or salad topping, appetizer...
Start with FRESH fresh local catch.
Add as much freshly pressed lime juice to cover.
Use shallots or green onion or whatever onion relative grows wild in your backyard.
Herbs, whatever rocks your world, or which ever part of the world you want to your taste buds to visit.
here are some combos:
Mexi: cilantro, limejuice, cumin powder, green chilli pepper, shallot (photo)
Italia: olive oil, lime or lemon juice, garlic, basil, capers, even olives?
Northern: lemon juice, capers, dill, green onions or any onion...I imagined salmon with this one
So, no end
Try, Morroccan, Indian, Thai....boy, I LOVE FOOD!!!!!
