Eliana and Sarah shared a favorite food in studio today...

It's funny how the simplest things are often the best.  The children and staff all loved this easy dish... pre-cooked angel hair pasta, olive oil and salt.  YUM, YUM, YUM.

More than food...

It's easy to imagine that the only thing going on in the studio these days is FOOD but not so.  The children have been working on many things from painting, to building and light explorations. This is an example of their recent drawings. The children used black, thin and thick line sharpies on white card stock in order to convey their faces in two-dimensions.  The effects are truly wonderful and reflect months of observational drawing.

Healthy Chocolate Pudding with the Boyen's family

Contrary to what the sign says, we used rice milk rather than coconut (because we are nut-free in the literal sense and while coconuts are drupes apparently, they are classified as nuts by the FDA) otherwise the recipe was simply: bananas, avocados, rice milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup and a touch of salt blended 'til smooth and enjoyed!  YUM and as the children will tell you, "It's a healthy pudding snack!"

Cauliflower Crust Pizza courtesy of the Fisher Family

This was a Trader Joe's wonder meal.  The Cauliflower crust is from the frozen section at TJ's.  Precook the crust following the directions.  Then top with pre-made pizza sauce (we used the TJ brand) and grated mozzarella cheese, followed by the toppings of your choice (we had pepperoni, ham and pineapple).  It was a HUGE success and no one even guessed it was a cauliflower crust!
Enjoy!
