Dinner for Three! (well, five)

Thought I’d post a quick blog on last night’s dinner. We’ve done this a few times and it is a lot of fun for all of us…Fondue! We made a cheese sauce courtesy of  “The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook” by Joanne Stepaniak–specifically we made the ‘chedda’ fondue. It was awesome, but also an easy way to get the kids to eat whole plants. Some raw, some cooked. As you can see from the photos, we provided (all organic) cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and some tofu hot dogs.
