Winner of Kitchen Basics

Today’s the day we announce our winner for the Kitchen Basics book by Patti Green. The lucky Blisstree reader is Donna O! Donna was one of over 100 people that entered this contest, which tells me that you guys love getting cookbooks. I’m with you there.

More than that, however, since this is a cookbook for kids, I asked you what was the thing you first learned to cook as a kid. My first food item was French toast, and it looks like I wasn’t alone. French toast was a popular answer, as were brownies and cookies. (Looks like baking is a popular thing to do with our kids.)

Mac ‘n cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches also ranked as a popular “first food” items. A few of you learned to make recipes passed down from family member to family member, like corn bread or pancakes. Others, (sadly) said their parents never let them cook when they were a kid! What a shame.
I think what we’ve learned is that cooking with our kids is a great way to bond with them, and it also encourages them to eat what’s on their plate. They will be more inclined to eat something they helped prepare.
