Family Bond Paper™

These are just a few suggestions that I am sharing with you, your family or family business: Do not use a potato that has a stem or leaves growing from it, is turning green, or is rotten. It may make you sick. Try cooking some items the day before. Store in fridge or in a non-heated room. How long have you had spices? sugars? salt? These items are preserved to last for years. Over time, however, they begin to lose their original flavor. You will know because it seems like you have to use more to get the taste that is familiar to you. To avoid pots boiling over put a wooden spoon on top of the pan, instead of a lid. Store milk- or butter-based dessert items in the fridge.

As morning pancakes are cooked, consider referring to Eric Carle's Pancakes, Pancakes  (Simon & Schuster, 1990) or Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss (Random House, 1976), or Chicken Soup with Rice by Maurice Sendack (Scholastic, 1976).  Buy or bake different kinds of bread after you read Bread, Bread  by Ann Morris (Mulberry, 1989). Literature and cooking experiences are limited only by your imagination and creativity. Use your child's food preferences as a starting place and expand the experiences from there. Discuss color...
