Janelle

Seattle-based, Florence-living, bicycle-riding, food-blogging chef and mom. I love experiencing food, and teaching my kiddos to enjoy their food experiences too. They love to be the food critics, so I encourage it! But the negotiation belies their power: I have them trying anything and everything to to find new favorite foods, expand their taste buds and develop strong opinions on quality and variety. How? Through their own palate. Who? Mom. I keep the newbies coming, the favorites rolling and encourage treats in moderation.

So go find some new ideas on my lunch idea site, which is aimed to help you---and ultimately your children---chase away the Brown Bag Blues.
