Kids Say And Do The Darndest Things, And Then Their Parents Tweet About It

My son got mad at me yesterday and opened all the bananas in the house. What type of passive aggressive monster... pic.twitter.com/4p2Ucqh9NF

Twitter isn't good for much more than expressing random thoughts or sharing links, but it has proven to be an excellent source of candid comedy thanks to the proud parents who tweet about the odd stuff their kids do and say.
4-year-old: Why do you go to work?
— Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) February 28, 2015
Me: They pay me a salary.
4-year-old:
Me:
4-year-old: I don’t even like celery.
Finally kids who aren't old enough to be on Twitter can have a voice in this digital age of social media socialization and tweety talk, and we can get a good laugh at the adorably crazy stuff kids come up with.
My 2yo said she is a grown up. I told her she isn't, that she is a toddler. She replied, "No, I'm a grown up. I'm going to touch knives."

Parents- enjoy your kiddos while they're too young to know the power of teenage hatred, and keep sharing those tweets about your kids so we can live and laugh vicariously through you.

Recipe: Plantain Power Balls — Recipes from The Kitchn
by Hali Bey Ramdene
What can't a plantain do? That's the question to ask yourself after trying these power balls. Paired with coconut — that's coconut oil, coconut butter, and toasted coconut — these bites are a one-stop snack for a serious dose of flavor, fat, and carbs. If you're gearing up for a long run or a heavy lifting session at the gym, or need a snack to sustain you for a solid few hours, one of these will do the trick. They are, in every sense of the phrase, a snack with a purpose — and in this instance, the purpose is to help you power through.

Salmon with Tomato, Onions, and Capers
by Elise Bauer
One of the best ways to prepare salmon is to poach it, in just a little liquid. We often use this “shallow poaching” method with a little white wine and herbs.
You can also make a simple sauce and poach the salmon in it, which is what we are doing here with these fillets, cooking them in a sauce of onions, tomatoes, white wine, and capers. Preparing salmon this way perfect for a quick and and easy midweek meal, and elegant enough for company.

Zucchini Noodle Chicken Pesto Bowl
by Elise Bauer
Have zucchini? If you haven’t tried spiralizing zucchini yet, you’re missing out!
Seriously. Zucchini “noodles” are great. They trick your mind into thinking you’re eating carb-heavy pasta, when in fact, you are eating healthy, vitamin rich zucchini.
You know that spinach flavored pasta? This is like zucchini flavored pasta, that’s actually just zucchini. Gluten-free, low-carb, super healthy zucchini.
There’s something about the noodle shape that makes it way more fun to eat than just chopped up squash.

What The Heck Is Maple Water?
by Mary Beth Quirk
In a world awash with trendy products — from artisanal bone broths to fermented drinks that some say smell like yesterday’s diapers — it can be difficult to understand what some products are, and why they’ve become popular. Take maple water, for example. It may sound like you’d be guzzling syrup, but proponents say it’s just a single ingredient, plant-based way to stay hydrated.
Maple water is a single-ingredient beverage sold under brands like Drinkmaple, Sap on Tap, and Vertical Water, NPR’s The Salt reports.
Though it comes from the same place as maple syrup, maple water isn’t sticky or sweet: farmers tap maple trees to get their sap in the spring, and instead of boiling it down like they would for syrup, they make maple water from the unprocessed sap, which is 98% water. No preservatives or additives are thrown in.
“It’s the opposite of what people expect,” the founder of Sap on Tap, Cyrus Schwartz, tells The Salt. “The flavor is very subtle, not sweet. We always tell people, ‘You have to try it.’ ”
Due to its trendiness and hydration factor, maple water is often compared to coconut water, but it has fewer calories and sugar averaging 15 calories and 3 grams of sugar to coconut water’s 45 calories and 11 grams of sugar per typical 8-ounce serving.
Maple water also has manganese, which is a nutrient responsible for calcium absorption and blood sugar regulation, NPR notes.
And despite the fact that it’s starting to become popular itself, it’s not like this is a new trend, say those in the industry, it’s just that more people are paying attention.
“People have been drinking maple water from buckets on sap farms for hundreds of years,” Kate Weiler of Drinkmaple told The Salt. “We like to say that the un-trendiest beverage is now trending.”

I get emails from readers packed with fun stories, family recipes, and interesting tips, techniques, and questions all the time, but it's rare that I get one with a technique that blows my mind. This is one such occasion. Here's the short of it: You can use gelatin to filter cruddy used deep-frying oil until it is crystal clear. The technique is easier than any other method I know, requiring no wire strainers or coffee filters or extensive clean-up. Read More

Learning
by Miss Cellania
The love of learning is contagious. And how can a child learn better than from one-on-one time with someone who loves to learn and loves the child, too? Too bad most parents don’t have unlimited time to foster this love of learning. We have jobs to do, often multiple children, and a vague understanding of the required state curriculum standards. But summer is a great time to boost your child’s natural curiosity and their skills in finding the answers. This is the latest comic from Lunarbaboon.

Cast Iron Pans Are a Reliable Source of Dietary Iron
by Stephanie Lee on Vitals, shared by Andy Orin to Lifehacker
Iron deficiency is the world’s most common nutritional disorder. As many as two billion people have anemia, mainly from not getting enough iron in their diet, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). So, other than eating more iron-rich foods, another good way to increase iron intake is to cook foods in a cast iron pan.

It’s summertime, baby! Well, almost summertime anyway…and that means it’s time to call all your friends over and fire up that grill. Whether you use gas or charcoal, there’s nothing quite like cooking your meal outdoors over an actual flame.
The only problem is, once you have that grill lit, how do you decide what to put on it? There are just so many choices and so many preferences! There’s always the classic hamburgers and hot dogs, or a grilled steak, chicken, shrimp…and let’s not forget about the abundance of veggies you can grill up, like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Heck, even pineapple and little baby potatoes. So what type of entrée will you choose?
Well, if you’re me, you don’t. You have a little bit of everything, and create a build-your-own kabob bar for your friends, and let them customize their own meal!

It’s summertime, baby! Well, almost summertime anyway…and that means it’s time to call all your friends over and fire up that grill. Whether you use gas or charcoal, there’s nothing quite like cooking your meal outdoors over an actual flame.

There’s always the classic hamburgers and hot dogs, or a grilled steak, chicken, shrimp…and let’s not forget about the abundance of veggies you can grill up, like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Heck, even pineapple and little baby potatoes. So what type of entrée will you choose?
Well, if you’re me, you don’t. You have a little bit of everything, and create a build-your-own kabob bar for your friends, and let them customize their own meal!
Prepping this Build Your Own Kabob Bar takes a little bit of planning, but not too much. All you have to do is whip up a simple marinade with some sweet, tangy Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce & Marinade, and marinate all the meats in it! This will give your ingredients a wonderful, charred-sweet surface when you get them on the grill.You can steep your meat of choice a whole day ahead of time, or just pop them in the fridge for half an hour while you chop up all the veggies the day you plan on grilling. Then lay everything out with some bamboo skewers, and let the grilling begin!
Build Your Own Kabob Bar
Let’s make the marinade! Start by mixing together 2 tablespoons of Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce per serving of meat, 2-3 garlic cloves minced, and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil per serving of meat.
Marinate meats and shrimp separately in the Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce and oil mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 mins and up to 24 hours. I used sealable plastic bags. You can flatten them out easily so the marinade covers all the meat, and it makes for an easy clean up!
Pre-heat the grill so it is ready for your guests to start grilling! Place meats, shrimp, and veggies in individual bowls and set out buffet style. What I used was a variety of bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, pineapple and zucchini!
Instruct your guests to skewer their own kabobs.
Grill kabobs directly over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning 1/4 rotation every 2 to 3 minutes, or until the meat and/or fish is cooked throughout. After each rotation, brush kabobs with the Kikkoman marinade mixture to keep veggies and meats nice and juicy!
Enjoy your kabob creation!
