I also like to think of this dish as the American version of fried rice. It’s 100% kid-tested kid-invented and mother family-approved I can take absolutely no credit for this recipe. One night back in October while I was away, Patrick gave PJ the option of ordering pizza for dinner or going grocery shopping and creating his...

Tips for Toddlerhood (and beyond)

Monday night’s dinner had a little gourmet-ish feel and didn’t take long at all. Miso Salmon salmon fillet package of Kikkoman Instant Shiro Miso (White) Soup (I found...
