the big cheese

My husband loves getting the Zingerman’s catalog. He’s the chef in our household, and anything that boasts a Bacon of the Month Club is all good in his book. This Cheesemaking Kit looks pretty awesome, too. Fresh mozzarella? Yes, please!

Someday, I am going to treat myself to a serious splurge and buy tickets to an Outstanding in the Field event. Browsing the photos from their current North American tour, each outdoor setting looks more spectacular than the last. And the food sounds incredible. Maybe next year…

play dough

Now that Halloween’s over (boo!), Casa Misosouper is forced to find new activities to keep the little one busy. Curious how the line “why don’t you sort your candy by colors?” ceases to work when the parents have reduced the candy jar to wrappers and the odd piece of bubble gum.

So we’ll turn our attention to projects like Doodlebread, a bread-making kit that bakes shapes through every slice. Want a green star in the middle of your loaf? Done. Or you could be even more clever, like little Sophie from London, who plopped a fried egg (made from dough, of course) into her slices.

Prices are in pounds, so the kit–which comes with a silicone bread squisher, mix, and a baking tin–is a bit spendy for US customers. But considering that these tools will make infinite loaves starred with infinite colors, this might be the rainy-day deal of the century.

from our friends at TheFind: corn on the cob made easy – baby butter corn picks

Almost every weekend this past summer our family ate corn on the cob. My toddler daughter loves corn and gets a kick out of eating it typewriter style. I found these adorable Butter Baby Corn Picks that make eating corn easy and fun for little hands. I love that my daughter’s hands don’t get buttery and sticky and that she no longer drops her corn onto the floor. The picks come in sets of four including a pair of yellow, pink, green and blue.

These corn picks also interlock for easy and safe storage and I just put them in the top utensil rack of my Miele dishwasher for easy clean up.

from our friends at TheFind: healthy, BPA free and eco friendly baby food storage

With the trend towards making fresh and healthy baby food at home there are not a lot of safe, convenient options for storage. The Beaba multiportions food storage container is the perfect solution for storing home made fresh baby food. The BPA-free storage tray holds multiple servings of baby food in individual sized servings 1/4-cup portions, which you can pop out as needed. The storage tray is made of silicone and is freezer, microwave and dishwasher save. Making baby food in portions is healthier for baby allowing you to use the freshest ingredients and customize for baby’s finicky taste buds. Designed by the company who created the Beaba Baby Food Cooker, the trays can be used with food made with this all-in-one appliance or simply use a food processor to puree.

I love the design and colors of the Multiportions tray. It comes in lime green, pink and blue. I could also find lots of uses for this tray post-baby; it would be perfect for healthy frozen yogurt desserts for my toddler or even a snack tray for a play date. Just fill each compartment with healthy snacks like carrot sticks or grapes and place on a table for the kids to snack on.
