Homemade Gnocchi by ZINC

Written by Chef Denise Appel from ZINC & Kitchen ZINC

We love to cook. And we know good food brings families together. That’s why we’ve spent the past few years sharing many of our popular market menu dishes and some of our all-time favorite recipes on our blog. We’ve been getting requests for some time now to help shed some light on family friendly recipes that inspire even the tiniest of chefs to help make—and pick up their forks to eat without a battle.

To us the holidays mean family, and that means family friendly recipes! With the holiday season rapidly approaching, we thought there was no time like the present [get it] to share our go-to kid-pleasers with the kidHaven family to enjoy at home.

This is one of my favorite recipes—it just feels like home. Making this classic ricotta gnocchi reminds me of my time in my grandmother’s kitchen, rolling gnocchi dough, making homemade sauce and eventually sharing a delectable dish for dinner [and so much more].

Written by Amanda Levitt, ND

Okay fellow parents…I’m on a mission! Will you join me?

Anyone else tired of kids getting candy as rewards in school?  Frustrated with your child bringing home the healthy snack that you so lovingly prepared (even though you were tired and wanted to just relax after the kids were finally in bed and the kitchen cleaned up from dinner) because there were cupcakes and junk food in the classroom?  At our school, we are creating policy to encourage healthy change.  As parents and educators, you play a very important role in helping children make healthy choices.

Here are some delicious and nutritious ideas for class parties, PTA events or snacks: Read more
