I swear my 7 year old students are culinary gangstas! They not only toast, grind and jar their own Asian and Mexican spices but, they dry their own herbs. This process is so easy and man is it a delicious little money saver! Excellent work you crazy little kitchen monkeys!

But, I'll literally put anything in my mouth at least once. Pfft! My daddy didn't nickname me, "Goat," at two years of age for nothin'! Yup! I'll literally put anything in my mouth at least once!P.S. Most ALL of my recipes posted on this site were soley submitted by my youngest 6, 7 and 8 year old culinary students. Mostly recipes for the homeless and battered women's shelters they regularly cook for. That means ANYONE can make these super easy, crazy delicious recipes!Lastly, my only culinary motto?
