As father of a toddler and baby I'm always looking for fun and interesting ways to make food and cooking more appealing to them. I've found that involving them in these fun exercises has lead to them expressing more interest in our daily meal planning and preparation.
Below are 10 fun, easy food craft projects to tackle with your little ones, a mix of healthy fruit and snacks, with a couple s
Even non-fans of Arrested Development will go ape over The Vedge's Bluth Frozen Bananas. However, I'm guessing George didn'tput as much thought into his ingredients as Shae did, as her version ishealthy,gluten-free and vegan. So of what do they consist? Bananas (of course), chopped roasted nuts, coconut oil, cacao powder and maple syrup (or honey or coconut nectar). To see how to put 'em all toget
I stumbled across this faux fur message board by design by Portuguese designer Gonalo Campos.
Dedo is a message board made from artificial fur, "a much more comfortable message board, with no need for erasers or pens. An ever changing decorative element, to be explored at will." One just needs to rub their finger up or down to leave a message.

I know, I know... this kitchen isn't so bad. Itis certainly livable, and the appliances are beautiful. But itdoesn't have a lot of personality, and lacks cohesion.You'll just have to trust me that the "after" image is worth seeing.
Designer Laura Umanskykept the existing appliances and cabinets in place, but changed the color scheme, textures and furniture to create a new spacebursting wit
When Amanda saw Tauna's pickle jar turned apothecary jar, she had to make one of her own. This is Tauna's creation:
And,this is Amanda's:
Beside the jar and lid, which Amanda actually bought at a hobby store versus Tauna's which actually is an empty pickle jar,the materials to make one include a candlestick, a washer and nob, a finial, some spray paint and various glues. When done, Amand
I first stumbled across this recipe at The Green Kitchen and instantly fell in love with it, I've tweaked it a little, but by enlarge it's true to the original.

These super-chic pet bowls aren't for those on a budget. Oh, no. They are for the fur child who has everything (and doesn't even know it). Take a gander, and then whip out the plastic.
We're going to start out oh-so-lux with these leather-wrapped, white ceramic bowls from Waifs & Strays, available at Scruffinmutts. The bowls will set you back 50 British pounds or about $78 US. The matching leat
I swear, succulents and cacti get all the good DIY planters these days! (Probably because they're cute and sculptural and hardy as all get out.) They certainly look great in these hanging macrame eggshell pots, though!
Lisa Tilse from the fabulous blog The Red Thread recently shared this tutorial for properly prepping the shells and knotting your own macrame hanger (which you can easily ada

The kitchen of the Aldrich's 1942 Cape Cod was of the galley variety. Too small and closed-off from the rest of the space, they were ready for a big change. Architect Eric J. Hansen came up with a plan that gave them everything they were looking for without adding any square footage. This was accomplished by removing partial walls,dropped ceilings and their formal dining room. For the Aldrich fami

Sheesh. Apologies to Mr. Shakespeare. Anyway, as you might know, our family is in the middle of a very exciting house addition (you can follow along in the Curbly House section of this site). A big part of keeping a large-scale project like this moving forward is the ability to make decisions (hopefully good ones) quickly without second-guessing yourself. Second-guessing means design changes, and
Tile can be the right choice for a kitchen. It can be easily updated, but hard to keep clean depending on the material it's made from. This kitchen was out-dated with its ceramic tile with a black edge design. Luckily, itgota quickmakeover that cost very little money, and saved the owner much heartbreak over broken and cracked tiles. Check out the finished product after the jump!

Melanzane alla Parmigiana is my favourite Neapolitan dish, it's true comfort food for the soul and a perennial, seasonal favorite. It's making has become a family affair as my eldest scours the shrubs in search of our big black bounty.

4 pounds eggplant (halved, then cut into thin slices)
olive oil
2 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes (blanched, peeled and chopped)

Our last Curbly House update was a while ago, so I wanted to check in and let you know how it's all going. If there were one sentence to summarize phase two of our home renovation, it would be: Damn you, winter.
Weather has not been on our side this time around. In fact, weather has been our nemesis. We had (too optimistically?) hoped to dig the foundation for our addition in January. But it was
Don't ask me how I came up with this project...it's a long story. Basically, my dog Charlie can jump really high and will eat anything,so I needed to makea wall-mounted planter that I could place out of his reach. So the Vurm herb planter was born.
I already had the IKEA Vurm on hand; it is actuallya wine bottle holder, but it turns out that the wider white wine bottles don't fit, and I'm a
