Well hello, gorgeous! If you've got kids, I probably don't have to explain what "Parents Need to Eat Too" means. But I will anyway: I make food for grownups that also pleases even the earliest eaters (as in my cookbook, all the recipes here end with instructions for using what you've cooked as baby food). And that kid holding the artichoke up there is so stubborn I like to call him "non-nivorous," so you'll find plenty of picky-eater posts. (Even he is powerless in the face of The Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Entire World.) Poke around a bit, and if you like what you see maybe you'll subscribe to my newsletter or RSS feed. Or "like" me on Facebook. Or follow me on Twitter. So many options! Thanks for visiting. Did I mention how nice you look today?

Harry is six. He’s in first grade. And he has no idea how lucky we are.
I do.
Which is why blogging about holiday foods and parties and whatnot just feels weird to me right now. So rather than pretend everything is normal, I’ll wish you and yours every possible good thing for the holidays, and resume blogging in a week or two.

So well said. Here’s to a reflective and restful couple of weeks.
Thanks, Elizabeth. And to you, too.
I found your work through Monica Bhide some time ago. My younger boy is also six. Absolutely well said.
Best,
Alice
Thanks, Alice.
Thank you, Debbie. Sometimes the simplest words can be just the thing we need to read. Happy holidays.
Here’s a happy thought. I used a version of your cocoa mix, and made up jars of it as gifts for teachers and administration, with the cinnamon marshmallows. Thanks for the inspiration! Peace.
That IS a happy thought, Alice. Thanks for sharing!
