Five Great Cooking with Kids Ideas

One of the most important Gnarly Roots philosophies is “no lonely kitchens”!  In our minds, making food is about being and sharing with others. Whether it is a holiday meal or just a Saturday morning at home, cook together. Instilling this in our kids is important to carry on this family tradition. Also, finding the just right recipes for all ages of children is critical to making it a fun…

What do you get when your sister marries a Frenchman? Homemade French crêpes with every visit!  Without him there, it is not quite the same. But making crêpes is a family tradition we are so grateful to be adopted into.  Beth’s kids get the honor of making crêpes on a regular basis with their dad (Papa) as well as grandmother (Mamie Martine) when she visits from France.  It is a…

Butt Bun Potato Rolls

These tasty butt bun potato rolls are the perfect addition to any family feast or celebration.  These rolls affectionately received their name from my son, who was making them with Grandma.  Originally intended to be a clover shape, these rolls were formed by three balls of dough.  When you have only two remaining balls of dough, the shape is less clover and more…..well that is how the Butt Bun got…

Grandpa Russell’s Buttermilk Pancakes

Although there are so many easy pancake mixes out there these days, taking a little more time to make them from scratch is so worth it.   We tend to make these buttermilk pancakes on slow Sunday mornings or for a good luck breakfast before a big day.  This recipe has been in our family for generations.  And given how many my son eats in a single sitting, I safely assume…

Ground Turkey Teriyaki Stir Fry

Tasty and Kid Friendly We love this healthy, kid friendly ground turkey teriyaki stir fry recipe for weeknights. I have even made this recipe when my son has friends over as an alternative to other kid meals like pizza or chicken nuggets.  Calling it a "weeknight" meal sounds like it has to be rushed and something you want to get over with.  Such the contrary with this dish!  We have…
