We are starting a new family project. Each week we are choosing one culture (or country) and teaching our children about the food, language(s), religion(s), and government. These are very brief, simple lessons, as our children are four- and six-years-old. On Saturday nights we have a dinner that somewhat represents the food of that culture. Of course we adapt it to our diets, so we don’t worry too much about authenticity.
This week was China. I made two recipes from my cookbook, Culinary Creativity. Sesame Chicken (oh that one is so good!) and Fried Rice but I subbed cauliflower for the rice. If we create a new recipe on Culture night I will be sure to share it in the future.
We also printed coloring pages for the kids- always a big hit.
Next week we are doing Mexico and after that Iceland and Greenland are sharing a week. I am really curious about what kind of recipes I can sort out for Iceland and Greenland- trust me it won’t be one of their favorites- horse meat! Any suggestions? Anyone from Iceland or Greenland?

Dawn, where is the recipe for the cauliflower?
The recipe is from my cookbook for fried rice but instead of adding rice to the pan just add shredded cauliflower. If you don’t have my cookbook (you really might like to get it) then just google a fried rice recipe and sub in the cauliflower.
It is really interesting. :)
