You've arrived at Not For Kids Only, my freshly launched blog swirling with ideas for stylish entertaining and living -- family-style!
Because, can I tell you something? As a mom to Milan, 3, and Luca, 1 1/2, I got the blues. If I had to read another ingredients list for chicken fingers, I thought I'd keel over and cry! Bored of the oh-so blah recipes for kids, I decided to make a change -- a fabulous change! -- to turn typical kids' fare into lipsmacking, travel-inspired meals everyone would enjoy. Be banished, O lowly chicken fingers galore! Bye bye uninspired kids fare. Say hello to simplicity and style!
And that's how Not For Kids Only was born. Out of my sheer necessity for something dreamier. Something inspirational. Something I would enjoy eating with my kids, too. Let's face it: We're not going to make two dishes for every meal, are we? So why would we, overworked and undernourished parents, sacrifice taste?
The purpose of Not For Kids Only is to offer you, dear fellow dads and moms, recipes and ideas that agree with whole family. So start your ovens! This is going to be one fabulous ride!
With love,
Chef Lisa Hines
