No parent in this day and age wants to host a play-date or arrive at their child's school with a snack that isn't either organic, non-hydrogenated, trans fat-free or made with whole grains. And while no one would even think of showing up to their child's school with any form of nut these days, kudos to the parents who purchase granola bars made in a peanut-free factory.
Internet savvy? Typing the key words "kid's healthy snacks" will lead you to 2.8 million websites devoted to the topic. Health Sciences Centre clinical dietitian Nancy Coutris says the Internet is a great place to find healthy snack and meal ideas for kids; however, she advises parents looking for nutritional advice on the web to make sure the site is a reputable one. If parents have children requiring any kind of ther...

It's understandable that after a long day at the office, then preparing and eating supper and getting things tidied up, the last thing many people want to do is start thinking about what to make for lunch the next day. But what if some overly keen food writer offered to help stimulate your desire to make a tasty lunch by providing two, five-day work weeks of simple, minimal ingredient meal ideas. Would that help you on the road to feastdom at noon on a Wednesday? I hope so, because below that's exactly what I've done.
Brush 1 side of the bread lightly with olive oil, set on a baking sheet and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 400 F (200 C)for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Cool the slices; cover and store at room temperature. Combine the remaining ingredients in takeout ...

[Debra Ponzek] wants to inspire parents to hang out with the kids in the kitchen, so there's more happening than just getting food on the table. For the cold months, she includes a chapter for Lazy Winter Weekends, when it's too cold to be out and cooking becomes "something to do." She covers Kids' Parties and Backyard Summer Suppers on the Grill. There's also a chapter on bake sales for those inevitable fundraisers, and who couldn't use a few fresh ideas for those?
Each recipe has a separate box titled Call the Kids. It's a list of the tasks that are suitable for beginner cooks. But these aren't token jobs this is a genuine contribution to the meal, which is a good thing, because kids know the difference between "real work" and "make work.

Several hundred people turned out to meet the Canadian actor/musician/comedian-turned-wine-aficionado, and while many waited in line several hours for him to autograph bottles of his wine, Patron tequila and Crystal Head vodka -- as well as various mementos from his storied career -- nobody seemed to mind. [...] before beginning the job at hand, Aykroyd, as mentioned, took some time to discuss his move into winemaking, his passion for the fermented fruit of the vine and his commitment to delivering affordable quality products to consumers.

As anyone familiar with [Jonathan Safran Foer]'s novels will know, he's deeply invested in the ideas of memory and connection. In Eating Animals, he spends a lot of time talking about the importance of food to family and how it ties us to our pasts, but argues that a wilful "forgetting" of what happens on farms does not compensate for all the happy meal-related memories we have; it's time to start creating new stories, he says.
Like his post-modern novels, Eating Animals isn't structured in a conventional way. In among the accounting of the horrors of today's farm system -- many of which he observed first-hand in covert midnight visits to farms -- Foer includes first-person accounts by factory farmers, animal activists, PETA members and heritage turkey farmers.
When the Jewish author ta...
