I grew up in the San Francisco bay area in CA, moved to AZ in '98. I'm a Mom of 2 great kids who are just now starting to appreciate foods that are not breaded, fried and dipped in ketchup! Cinnamon chocolate cake, Cookies of any kind, BBQ ribs, TriTip roast with my favorite rub, Tacos, Beef Stroganoff, Waffles, Roasted vegetables, Meatloaf, Beef tenderloin on the grill, Cheeseburger soup, Tuna loaf, and the list goes on..... Cooking with the kids, Having huge BBQ parties for birthdays Toddler pancakes! Funny story actually. Was making pancake batter with my son when he was just two yrs old. I had to leave the room to use the restroom and when I returned, he had climbed up on the stool, poured a half gallon of milk and about 8 eggs, with their broken shells into the bowl with the pancake mix. He turned around and annouced as proud as can be with a face covered in white powder that he was making pancakes! After I finished laughing with him, we removed the egg shells and adjusted the recipe to about 4-5 batches worth, fried up the pancakes and froze what we did not eat. He's in High School now and still fondly remembers this event. Using baking soda instead of baking powder, Too much salt
