I ordered this cookbook on a whim, as I was already ordering another book and recognized this author's blog. When it came and I flipped through it, I was initially disappointed. Too simple, I thought. I have a ton of cookbooks. Except for the jams, salsas and condiments sections which looked intriguing. Then, somehow, I just started cooking and cooking from this book. Maybe my kitchen was somehow aligned with this cookbook? Everything has been delicious and easy. Lots of recipes to make with my four year old. Recipes that I plan on making again and again. So glad I...Edit your review | Add a comment | Share- Homemade with Love: Simple Scratch Cooking from In Jennie's Kitchenby Jennifer PerilloPumpkin Apple CakeMy four year olds and I made a half recipe of this cake. I happened to have a leftover cup of canned pumpkin and a half apple that needed eating. We made it into seven cupcakes. They seemed relatively healthy for cupcakes, with whole wheat pastry flour and buttermilk and only a few tablespoons of oil. Delicious and moist. Sprinkled a little confectioners sugar on top.

Fluffy Buttermilk PancakesI replaced some of the white flour with whole wheat, I just couldn't make all white pancakes for the kids. Pretty similar to our usual recipe. I made the baking mix first. Not sure it saves me much time, I never mind measuring out the baking soda/powder/salt. Good, but nothing revolutionary. Did make exactly enough pancakes for the two kids and me with no leftover batter, so that was nice.No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likesSmoky Corn and Bean 'Chili'Very good and so easy. Has a little bacon in it but it says you can replace it with some chili powder if you wanted it vegetarian. All I had to do was chop and onion and two slices of bacon. The recipe used salsa, so I didn't need to do much prep work. My four year old only ate her required four bites, but did admit to liking it. Will try again with mild salsa and maybe the kids will like it better. So good. 2 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 2 likesOrange Scented WafflesWhole grain waffles. Filling and yet somewhat light and crispy. Easy to make and the little ones enjoyed them. I made the whole grain baking mix first. I love ground oats in pancakes and waffles. 2 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 2 likes - The Epicurious Cookbook: More Than 250 of Our Best-Loved Four-Fork Recipes for Weeknights, Weekends & Special Occasionsby Tanya Steel, The Editors of Epicurious.com
Multi-grain bread with sesame, flax and poppy seedsThis was an easy bread to make and uses a multigrain cereal mix. After 30 minutes in the oven I turned it upside down so the bottom would brown better. Next time I would probably heat the baking sheet in the oven first and then place the bread on it. It came out well though. Nice crispy crust and soft and tender inside. It was very good and easy, will definitely make it again.

Autumn Celeriac PuréeThis was our first time cooking celery root, which we were forced to deal with as it came in our CSA. We are hooked! Of course, add cream and butter to anything and, you know.

A little chewy and addictive. 3 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 3 likes - Simply Ming in Your Kitchen: 80 Recipes to Watch, Learn, Cook & Enjoyby Ming Tsai, Arthur Boehm
Quinoa and Tomato SoupA delicious, simple soup. I cut the recipe in half because I knew we couldn't eat eight servings of tomato soup. Yesterday I had it with the parmesan on top and today I forgot. It was just as good without. 4 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 4 likes - Cook This Now: 120 Easy and Delectable Dishes You Can't Wait to Makeby Melissa Clark
Carroty Mac and CheeseI made this last night for dinner and both my kids loved it. My 3 year old normally doesn't like mac & cheese so this recipe is a keeper for us. Very easy. Used some Monterey jack in place of some cheddar, as that is what the kids prefer. We ate leftovers for lunch today and again no complaints from the kids. No one even picked out a carrot. 3 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 3 likes 
Sweet Potato MuffinsI love these muffins. I leave out the dates so my one year old can eat them. Surprisingly good with raspberries in them too. 2 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 2 likes
