Conversational Cooking a fun way to cook with kids


*Disclaimer*- I recieved  the product  mentioned below,free of charge, for review purposes.In no way did this alter my opinion of their products. All of my opinions are one hundred percent honest and true.*






I Have had the opportunity over that last few years to do a lot of great reviews on products.Recently i was offered the opportunity to do a review on Conversational Cooking cookbook with two raclettes and i have to say this has to be one of my favorite reviews so far.






When Conversational Cooking author Anne Lawrence first brought a tabletop cooking device called a raclette home from the grocery store as an impulse purchase, there were no directions and no recipes, so she and her children began experimenting to see what they could cook on it. In Anne's words, "That is when the magic began. The kids set down their iPods and gathered around the table and actually began cooking with me. Cooking on raclettes is so simple and easy that it makes cooking fun and accessible for nearly anyone and nearly any age. It was then that I realized that we weren't just having dinner, we were having a conversation and we were having fun together!" It was from those days of experimenting with that first raclette that Conversational Cooking got its start.


I have been trying to get my son in the kitchen more to cook with me and when it came in the mail we opened it and was surprised at all the recipes in the Conversational Cooking cookbook and things you can cook on the raclette.Even more so how you cooked  the food with tea light candles to warm the raclette 
The design of the raclette was even cute they have 4 different colors and styles to choose from..






The recipes are very easy to follow the cookbook tells you how long it should be cooked on the raclette and what to prep for the meal and how many tea light candles to use for the meal.


Now for the hard part what meal to choose to make from the Conversational Cooking cookbook?Since this was our first time using the raclette we chose a easy recipe Classic crunchy croutons that was easy choice since my son loves garlic bread.





on our kitchen table my son lit the candles and set the cooking tray on top the raclette to let it warm up while we gathered the ingredients.

  1. Bread
  2. butter
  3. Garlic salt


He added a little butter on the raclette,let it melt he then tore the bread into bite size pieces set on the grill and then added a tad of garlic salt to the bread and stirred around every couple minutes for the desired cooking time. 



It was starting to smell very good, the glow from the candles in the raclette was neat to look at also.I was having fun watching my son cook he was excited that he was cooking something for me and him to try and my son started looking through more recipes he wanted to try.

Times up the Classic crunchy croutons were finished my son dished up some in a plate and we all tasted the
 Classic crunchy croutons.They were very tasty indeed.


My son is 14 so he was able to use this on his own since you are using tea light candles younger children would require adult supervision.



When it was done he just blew out the candles after he dished up the food he just cleaned off with soap and water very easy clean up.

It really is a very fun way to spend time together  and teach kids about how to cook. The collection retails for $39.95 for two raclettes and the Cookbook.

June is Ectodermal Dysplasias Awareness Month




This is part of a condition I share along with many other great people I have met online.This condition can also be called EEC syndrome and include what's known as Ectrodactyly.

It's rare enough to be on Nord the national organization of rare diseases.
So rare that us that have the condition are often finding ourselves educating doctors about the condition.And for new parents with a child born with it they can be lost needing answers  and how will it affect yourself or your child.This is where Nfed comes in they are great at answering questions and helping family's network with other family's and even help with the insurance information.

Up until a few years ago I never even knew the name of my condition than I found Nfed,and a great Facebook group to answer questions have support and I can't tell you how great it was to find that support and finally have some answers to a condition that nobody knew anything about.

Also this is kind of a rant on my part before we get into the condition how many of you have seen a person with a difference and you wondered what happened to them? I bet all of you it's like seeing a accident on the side of the road! you're curious to know i wonder what happened? and you go home check the paper or the news.

Trying to find out.Well having a physical difference thats noticeable everybody notices but nobody asks! Maybe you think that would be rude if you asked.Well i have had this discussion a few times with a few people that have differences guess what we would rather you ask us than just stare which is very rude or whisper and guess.Asking is not rude staring is.So next time just ask we wont mind really!
   What are the ectodermal dysplasias?


The ectodermal dysplasias are a group of heritable disorders which are characterized by at least two 
derivatives of the ectoderm. (i.e. teeth, hair, nails, glands) developing and functioning abnormally.


 There are at least 150 different ectodermal dysplasias based on the combination of symptoms an 
individual has. Symptoms range from mild such as a missing tooth and thin hair to more severe 
such as skin erosion.



What causes the ectodermal dysplasias?


The ectodermal dysplasias are the result of a genetic mutation passed from parent to child. In some 
cases, the genetic mutation occurs spontaneously in the affected person. The ectodermal dysplasias are 
not contagious.

How many people are affected by ectodermal dysplasias?

We are not certain. We do know, however, that many more people are affected by ectodermal dysplasias 
than was ever thought possible. The number is estimated as high as 7 in 10,000 births (published in the 
1990 edition of The Birth Defects Encyclopedia).




How do the ectodermal dysplasias affect people physically?

Individuals affected by ectodermal dysplasias frequently have abnormal hair. Scalp and body hair 
may be thin, sparse, and very light in color, even though beard growth in affected males may be 
normal. The hair may be excessively brittle, curly, or even twisted.

Fingernails and toenails may be thick, abnormally shaped, discolored, ridged, slow-growing, or 
brittle. The cuticles may be prone to infections.

The skin may be lightly pigmented. In some cases, red or brown pigmentation may be present. Skin 
can be prone to rashes or infections and can be thick over the palms and soles. 

Many individuals affected by ectodermal dysplasias cannot perspire. Their sweat glands may 
function abnormally or may not have developed at all. Without normal sweat production, the body 
cannot regulate temperature properly.

Abnormalities in the development of tooth buds usually result in missing teeth or in the growth of 
teeth that are peg-shaped or pointed. The enamel may also be defective. 

How do the ectodermal dysplasias affect lives?

· Many individuals affected by ectodermal dysplasias cannot perspire. Air conditioning in the home, 
school and work place is a necessity. 

· Most people with ectodermal dysplasias have missing or malformed teeth. Dental treatment is 
necessary, beginning with dentures as early as age two, multiple replacements as the child grows 
and perhaps dental implants thereafter. Orthodontic treatment may also be necessary.

· Precautions must be taken to limit upper respiratory infections and care must be provided for the 
skin to prevent cracking, bleeding and infection.
