Cooking with Kids
On the other hand, sweetness explodes like confectionary fireworks for kids.ย Not to mention the sugar rush and euphoria that follows that can send them into orbit for over an hour only to come crashing down in a Crankisorus* heap.ย Childrenย are more visual than adults too and have a sense of play I cherish. ย Making colorful dishes and whimsical plate scenes generally go over well.ย ย This doesnโt mean every plate should consist of hotdog octopi, fairyland garden scenes and eggs over my hammy happy faces, but every now and then if youโre up for it, itโs fun.The Carrot Challenge
I love carrots but my youngest granddaughter, Rylin (age 4), hated them until recently.ย I am truly blessed with a family of adventuresome eaters.ย Thank God!ย If I wasnโt, I donโt think I would have ever progressed past Hamburger Helper and the 8th wonder of the world: Kraft macaroni and cheese.ย ย But when I come across something my gang doesnโt like, I canโt help but view it as a bit of a challenge.ย โHow can I prepare __X__ so they like it?โย ยTurmeric Anti Oxidant Power House
These Turmeric Honey Glazed Carrots are supercharged with ginger, turmeric, honey, and lemon is a winner when cooking for kids. Also, donโt forget to break out the fresh ground pepper when you're cooking with turmeric.ย It taps into turmericโs superpowers.ย ย Imagine turmeric as Wonder Woman and the black pepper is her lasso, bracelets, and invisible jet.ย Sure, she totally amazing on her own, but sheโs all that and a bag of chips with the right accessories. *Crankisorus: an overly tired dinosaur from the Paleolithic era known especially for its bad attitude and general surliness. ????Turmeric HONEY GLAZED CARROTS

Carol G says
I just bought some Turmeric and was looking for recipes that I can use it in, thank you.
Lani crowell says
I was just diagnosed with RA, and everything Iโve read says no butter! So I will try this using EVOO instead of the butter. Looking for anti-inflammatory recipes is hard when you have to sift through the ingredients. But everything else in this recipe sounds great!
Madalaine says
Hi Lani!
Thank you for your comment. I'm so sorry that you are suffering from RA. I have an aunt who suffers from that as well. It's terrible.
As far as substituting EVOO for butter, please let me know what you think of the final flavor. I watched a cooking class by Chef Thomas Keller (French Laundry restaurant) and he suggested cooking with a light vegetable oil when sauteeing at high heat. It has less flavor and it has a higher smoke point than EVOO.
But I do LOVE EVOO! ๐ Especially when used in salad dressing. โค๏ธ
Lani says
It worked perfectly fine with the EVOO and tasted delicious! I am definitely keeping this on my list of easy go to recipes!
Madalaine says
Wonderful!!! I'm so happy to hear that ๐ Thank you for sharing your results!
