Eat Smart Bok Choy
This time of the year when the weather starts warming up I begin thinking about summer. One way to get ready for summer is to focus again on good nutrition. To celebrate National Nutrition month my family is consuming Eat Smart's Gourmet Vegetable seven unique salad kits. All look amazing and taste very different...I know because I have tried them! We have been experiencing some different tastes because of the superfoods included in these kits but we have discovered new is also good!

Walk The Plank Salmon
Next Thursday is "Talk Like A Pirate Day." My Little Chefs and I thought it would be fun to make a piratey menu for the day and have a piratey activity. Walk the Plank Salmon is an easy recipe.

Not too long ago we went to a new restaurant. We ordered, sat down, and started eating when Little Chef C said "Mom, did Chef Robert come here?" I had to laugh. "Did he change this place to make it look nice?" I asked. "No, he didn't come here, this is a new restaurant." It has only been open for a few months if I remember correctly. It still had a "new" look to it. It was very bright with the lights, the huge windows and the colors were vibrant. No wonder she thought Chef Robert fixed this ...
