A cookie inherently screams EAT ME when I see it. This stamp is for people who need some convincing. Made me smile.
Julia Child Remixed
This Julia Child remix made me smile. She was one inspiring lady! And it happens to be her 100th Birthday today. Maria posted a lovely write up of Julia’s Lessons in Publishing and Perseverance.

Sombrero Juicer
The Sombrero Juicer by Umbra lets you easily add a splash of citrus to your beverage. Simply place the juicer into the top of your beverage container and quickly juice a lemon or lime right into your drink. Definitely something I can live without but I admit, it made me look.
Flag Conversions Tea Towel
This Flag Conversion Tea Towel is useful and good looking and therefore qualifies to enter my home.
Choice Cuts of Potato
This Choice Cuts of Potato Tea Towel is the perfect gift for the vegetarian in your life.
Eat Your Vegetables!
Team Tattly launched the adorable Vegetable Set yesterday. Didn’t you always want to wear an eggplant tattoo on your arm?
Freeze A Rainbow
I am pretty confident I’ll be reaching supermom status once I make a batch of these Rainbow Popsicles for my kids.
Potluck Baker Set
This Potluck Baker Set makes me want to look up some recipes on Punchfork and go home and cook.
Asparagus Tart
This Asparagus Tart caught my eye, and made my stomach growl. I found it over on The Forest Feast, a blog by Erin Gleeson, a NYC photographer who moved to the woods.
rhubarb + ginger crumb bars
Our newest studiomate, Kelly Carambula, started her first day off with a bang: She brought in these homemade Rhubarb and Ginger Crumb Bars. Little did she know that I have a slight obsession with Rhubarb (along with Brussel Sprouts)!
Kelly *just* posted the recipe on her site Eat Make Read, so now I can try to take a stab at them myself. Woohoo!
LaLa Lunchbox
LaLa Lunchbox is a brandnew iphone app that lets your kids plan their own lunches and teaches them to make smarter food choices!
Kids get to personalize and design their lunchboxes with fun monsters and colors, and then plan their lunches for a whole week at a time. They simply swipe their choices into their lunchbox from a large selection of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and snacks. Along the way, they learn that a balanced lunch includes items from each category. Parents can easily personalize and edit the items available to their kids.
G and I have been trying to teach our 6 year old, Ella, about the importance of a balanced diet. I am pretty sure she’ll enjoy playing with this app and feeling in control over what goes in her lunchbox. I’ll give LaLa Lunchbox a try, hoping it will not overcomplicate things!

Laser Cut Seaweed Sushi. Stunning, right?
Pizza Chopper
This Pizza Chopper would have come in handy last night. A beauty.
Funny Food
Funny Food: 365 Healthy, Silly, Creative Breakfasts will turn carrots into airplanes; boiled eggs into jugglers, and pears into guitar players. At this point, I am willing to try anything, to get my 2 year old something else than just plain beige foods. Here’s a video of some of the pages in the book.

Consider me Hungry
I was browsing The Whole Food Diary and stumbled upon this Blueberry Pancake recipe. The result? Hungry!

Vegan Recipes on Punchfork
Punchfork is my go-to-site when I need some cooking inspiration. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend you download their app. And, vegan folks rejoice, they just added a Vegan Category.
Yummyfun Kooking
My daughter is completely obsessed with Yummyfun Kooking, a seriously adorable, quirky cooking show made for kids. (I love watching the show myself.) Ella loves the show so much, she asked me to sign her up for actual cooking classes. And I admit, that makes me happy.
So, here’s a brand new episode that Claire Crespo, the chef in the show and mastermind behind it all, *just* launched:
Ah, so apparently I can’t embed it, but you can watch it here.
Check out Claire’s website at yummyfun.com (warning: Flash Site) or buy her DVDs over on Amazon.
And here’s the Series Trailer:
