Cooking with Kids -
Cooking the Books Much to my three children’s
chagrin, we do not have
cable. Secretly, I long for the
Food Network, but for the
time being, we live without
51 channels. In place of favorite TV shows,
our kids (ages 9, 6, and 2 1/2) have favorite
books. After reading If You Give a Moose a
Muffin for the 50th time, it occurred to me
that it might be fun to make some muffins
for a moose. Our conversations on this
topic were very animated and sometimes
silly. In the end, it was decided that banana
muffins dotted with chocolate chips would
be fitting for a hungry moose. My son Harrison
declared, “Bananas are very sweet and
fun to squish. And a moose would probably
love something sweet instead of boring
grass.” My daughter, Sophia, determined, “Everyone loves chocolate, so we should
add some chocolate chips to our recipe.”
