Something exciting is happening at Alphabet Soup...I have decided to revive Kindergarten Kafe! You may have seen in my featured section the wonderful recipes of Kindergarten Kafe. These recipes are written exactly as dictated to me and believe me, they are all treasures! I decided that it was about time for some new recipes and that's where you come in. I would like all of you to talk with your kids about their favorite recipe. Get them to tell you EXACTLY how they would cook it. You can go and see my past recipes and discover how interesting these recipes can be! Please submit your recipes to me and I will post them for the world to see!
