"It's effortless," she said."You just soak your beans, let it cook in your slow cooker and just finish with a mix of some spices, onions and garlic at the end." Julie Van Rosendaal's dumplings and potstickers recipe offers a multitude of filling options to suit picky eaters. Rosendaal, author of"You Are Human and You Need Cake," suggests taking kids to a library and letting them pick out a cookbook to try something new.
"You're going to be able to make delicious food," she says."Also, things will be more budget-friendly."Stacie Vaughan has been running her food blog, Simply Stacie, since 2008 in Pembroke, Ont.
