National Cookbook Month on October, 2024: Does anyone have any quick and easy food ideas for a picky 18 month old?
October, 2024 is National Cookbook Month 2024. Cookbook Of The Month Celebrity Chefs & More. First Book is Signed by Author! Free Shipping.
Oddly enough I've found that a lot of kids love cottage cheese (whole milk has the most fat/calories if you're looking to add calories), ripe avocados mushed up plain has been a hit with at least 3 different kids I know (has a lot of healthy fat and lots of good nutrients too). I'm also going to recommend a couple great cookbooks in case you're interested. You've probably heard of the first book, which is called: "Deceptively Delicious" by: Jessica Seinfeld. Her website is - and it does a good job explaining about the book, her concept and how easy her recipes are to make. The other book is called: "50 Ways To Take The Junk Out Of Junk Food" by: Julie Whittingham. This book is a collection of 50 recipes for snacks and treats that are nutritious and simple enough to be prepared in 15 minutes or less. I also encourage you to call the Boys Town National Hotline at 1-800-448-3000 anytime 24/7, if you're looking for additional advice, a listening ear or want to find resources in your area. Good luck and all the best to you and your family......Counselor JH

what are the best bulgarian souvenirs?
If you’re looking to buy a ton of little souvenirs, go for rose water. It comes in tiny wooden hand-painted-looking containers (“muskali”) and you’ll find them everywhere souvenirs are sold for about $1-$3 depending on the style of the container and the location of the market – the more touristy, the more expensive - but you might be able to negotiate on the spot for larger quantity. You can also get small traditional red woven napkins/doilies to go with them for a nice display. Of course, world-famous Bulgarian rose oil is a great option but that can get pricey. Both the rose water and rose oil are aphrodisiacs among other things.
If you’d like to get something special for yourself or someone close to you, go for original art. Not the paint-by-the numbers landscapes sold at those same touristy markets (which go in the above category of inexpensive gifts), but art from a local gallery. You can get an astounding oil painting for a few hundred dollars. Hand-painted icons and wood carvings are beautiful and uniquely Bulgarian, too. The pieces we’ve bought came with some sticker or certificate allowing them to be exported.
You may also get Bulgarian cookbooks – in English, of course! There are so many different ones, varying in size, cover, pictures (thus price) and quality of the translation, but all with tasty traditional Bulgarian recipes. And to go with the cookbooks, grab some spices – "chubrista" (the closest in the U.S. is savory but not the same), "giuzum" (a kind of mint), and "mirodiya" (often in combination with other spices and sometimes salt, layered inside small jars in beautiful designs). Small hand-made clay pots (“giuvecheta”) and other pottery items are nice and traditional, but can get heavy and need to be packaged well.
As already noted, hand-embroidered items, CD’s of national music, wooden or copper jewelry boxes and dolls in national costumes always work well…
Make sure to get a bottle or two of Rakiya (Bulgarian hard liquor with over 40% alcohol content)…
Have fun during your trip!
