For the Little League...

I have three sons. We are a family of five. At the moment I am cooking for seven and I doubt it is going to get any better anytime soon. Everyone has always told me that boys EAT. I didn't believe them, notice the past tense here. I do now.

Luckily, the boys have noticed this little correlation between food and cooking. Specifically cooking seems to have to happen in order to have food. So, now they are getting interested in cooking. I think that is a good thing.

So, I keep my eyes out for kid friendly recipes. That is ones they will eat and ones they can help with and not wind up in the emergency room as a result. Here's one any kid that can work a can opener can do. And it actually tastes good too:

Santa Fe Corn

Mix: 2 cans drained corn, 1 can drained and rinsed black beans and 1 can diced tomatoes, also drained. Heat using your favorite methods.

If you like it with a little kick, use seasoned tomatoes.

This is good over yellow rice, topped with some cheese.
