Happy Edible Flower Birthday to this friendly little turtle.

Beans, Beans, Glorious Beans!! The unsung hero of the kitchen - packs such a powerful punch in every pod. My playful take on some cool bean facts - always looking for ways to make learning a little more visually appealing - especially for kids!

When I lived in Vancouver I was introduced to the wonderful, mouthwatering world of sushi and became a fan instantly. Years later I travelled to Asia and experienced a culinary bonanza - flavours, colours and textures I had never seen or tasted before - and so began my lifelong affection, admiration and excitement for all things sushi!!

Fave Memory! The year I turned 2 my parents bought a piece of land in the countryside about an hour and half from where we lived. For a decade before they built a home the 8 of us, plus dog, would pile into our station wagon and drive out of the city to picnic in our new found piece of paradise. 70's classics like potato salad and wagon wheels, my Mom's famous jello mould and deviled eggs rank among my fondest memories. The mere sight of a Coleman thermos or a slice of her lemon pie takes me back to those summers with the smells and sounds of the forest, the movement of woodland animals and insects, the time of the long shadows, the richness of the summer sky.

When I look at my sister's garden - a true work of natural beauty and art - I see how the shapes and arrangement of each vegetable and fruit come together to form it's own version of food geometry!

FOOD GEOMETRY! Food, packaging, appliances and utensils are all geometric when you look closely - forming their own building blocks of delicious recipes!

Join in the fun with these party animals and indulge in your favourite birthday treat - cupcakes, ice cream, candy, cake and so much more! Happy Birthday never looked so good.

These kids know what's best for them - don't forget to eat the rainbow!!
