I really liked how the ratatouille cooked in the oven came out! I have made it before on the stovetop, but would have to cook the tomato juice down. This worked like a charm.

Oh zippity-do-da, that stuff was fantastic!!! I had all of the ingredients on hand and needed to use some up before the A.H. basket arrives tomorrow. I’ve stashed away all of the leftovers for moi. I will be having it with eggs for breakfast and maybe some with my kielbasa at lunch. I’m on a type of low carb diet. What a great and healthy way to use up veggies. (I even had fresh tomatoes on hand I needed to use too!)

So glad you enjoyed it. We’re making another batch today.

that sounds very exciting! I can’t wait to hear about the trip! From what I have read, French children have a much better attitude towards food than their American counterparts, due to the culture of introducing foods to them at a very early age. I read the book ‘French kids eat everything’ – wow, they really have the right attitude towards food in France! Sets the kids up with lifelong healthy attitudes towards food.
Jessica Fisher
Yep. I read that book a few years ago and started changing how I approached things.

Yum! Sounds easy and delicious! I think I will try this in the upcoming weeks!

How exciting that your trip is getting closer! We have been to France twice. Once when our children were two and seven, the second time a few years ago with no kids. The kid trip, of course, was way different. Lots of picnics. We’d load the string bag on the back of the little one’s umbrella stroller with lunch foods-just enough so she wouldn’t tip over-then stop at a grassy area when ever we were hungry. Much better than hauling them into restaurants several times a day. Breakfast was almost always included in our accomodations-coffee, baguettes, croissants, yogurt and sometimes, if we were lucky, hard boiled eggs. For dinners we found some great crepe places. I hadn’t had savory crepes before that trip. It was pretty easy to find which restaurants were kid accepting and which weren’t-important with a two year old in tow. My very peak eating experience in France was a cassoulet. It was in a small village where we ordered completely in French-an interesting challenge for us. The wine that went with it was excellent too. I’d love to see your recipe! Travel is such an enriching experience for children. You will have such fun!

The more I research restaurants, the more i learn that with a walnut and peanut allergy, we’re going to need to picnic a ton. They just can’t guarantee she’ll be safe. 🙁
