ParentDish Sleepover for Thursday, May 31st

I got a new-to-me stove this month (thanks Craigslist!) to replace our old Frigidare workhorse that was down to one working burner. One unlevel, working burner. Obviously, the new stove makes me really quite happy. So, this week, I've been checking out food blogs written by parents, looking for excuses to have fun with my pretty new range.
  • Long-time ParentDish readers will remember Stefania. She has an awesome food blog, Family Food. The most recent entry has great photos from her family's Memorial Day barbecue, and the whole site is filled with great recipes and wonderful photos.
  • Izzy Eats is another great parent-written food site. Am I Raising My Child In The Wrong State? has convinced me once and for all that I'd like to live in Vermont. Now for convincing the rest of the family.
  • Vegan Lunch Box, (which a reader told me about on my Bento Lunch post) will inspire you to send your child out into the world with something far more appealing than a white bread and bologna sandwich.
  • My favorite post in all this drool-inducing food surfing was Mom cooks for Calvin and Friends. I really hope that I have such a great relationship with my kids when they're in high school. And, maybe by then they'll appreciate my cooking!
