theme of the month, august 2010 - party food!

Well it's that time of year again, there's an air of excitement and anticipation around our house as we prepare for not one but two kid's parties! Yes, August is party month around here so instead of sticking to a single ingredient, this month we will explore and indulge in all things 'party'! As I have one little boy and one littel girl, I am in a fortunate enough position to delve into the best of both worlds - this year my son has chosen a dinosaur theme for his party and my daughter has chosen a rainbow princess theme - yay! And what makes this even more special for me is that I have written an entire book on planning and cooking for kid's parties so this time of year gives me the opportunity to improve some recipes and try out some of the fancy ideas swirling around my head. Keep watching because in the coming weeks there'll be all kinds of party food appearing on the site, including, of course, birthday cakes!
