Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Everyone needs to eat. Some eat at home, others on the go. When we are out on the road our meals sometimes look different than they would at home. We’ll share some recipes that are great for kids to help prepare, some that kids love, and others that are easy on the go.
I never knew there was such a thing as vegan cheese. When we were at the 4th annual Xscapers annual bash they had a macaroni and cheese cook-off. One table had dairy free options and that’s where I learned that cheese sauce can be made out of potatoes, squash and cashews. While I wouldn’t say…
Years ago with our older kids and the kids at Harmony’s old childcare, Kids by Nature, we had weird food Wednesday. Each Wednesday when the afterschool kids would show up, we’d try something new. None of our younger kids were around for that so we decided to recreate it with New Food Friday. Our boys…
Chickpea and flour are not two words I ever thought would go together. We first tried it just as an experiment, to see how it tastes.

I love to cook and bake but I had never attempted yogurt. All my friends that raised goats would share their goat milk yogurt with me and I was always so impressed that they could make their own yogurt. I don’t know why yogurt seemed so intimidating. I baked my own bread from wheat I…
We tried putting everything we could think of in the waffle iron. Some turned out better than expected, like bread and a raw egg. Some weren’t as great as others, but none were a complete fail. Check out our video to see what happens when you put rice and beans, cookie dough, or cornmeal and…
Cooking with kids doesn’t always have to turn out the way you’d expect. Half of the fun is in the experimentation. They will learn from it and have fun spending time in the kitchen. I think this is one of the grossest things we have made, but the kids disagree. We were traveling through an…
