Interview with Kate Gosselin

When tots are in tow with moms on the go, hand held edibles make eating easier. For those who fret about traveling spills, Kate Gosselin (who recently shared her tricks for feeding a family of ten with us) has a great recipe for a healthy wrap that keeps kids nourished and messes to a minimum.

Handy Hummus Wrap
1 whole wheat (or whole wheat white) wrap
2-3 T Hummus
2-3 leaves of lettuce
½ cucumber, sliced length-wise
½ red pepper cut into long strips

Place lettuce leaves in the middle portion of the wrap. Top with hummus. Add slices of cut vegetables. Roll and cut in half.

If your wee ones are craving something slightly different than the staple peanut butter and jelly, Kate Gosselin (who recently shared her tricks for feeding a family of ten with us) suggests opting for a nutty sandwich with a more starchy fruit complement.

PB & Banana

Spread each slice of bread with peanut butter. Place thin banana slices on one slice. Close sandwich and cut into triangles.

If your tots are up for a kid-friendly twist on the traditional sandwich, Kate Gosselin (who recently shared her tricks for feeding a family of ten with us) offered up her recipe for a rolled treat and another similar version for more adventurous or adult palates.

Cream Cheese Roll

• 1 slice bread (all breads work well)
• Light cream cheese
• ½ cucumber, sliced length-wise
• 1 slice smoked turkey

Trim the crusts of the bread and gently roll out the slice so it resembles pastry. Spread with light cream cheese. Place the turkey slice in the center of the bread. Add cucumber slices. Roll the bread similar to a sushi roll and cut into mini rolls.

Parents watch TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8 in shock and awe. Moms and dads are awed by the way the young couple, Jon and Kate, are raising two sets of multiples and shocked by the fact that all the children — Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Aaden, Collin, and Joel — eat! The twins' and sextuplets' diets don't consist of just peanut butter and jelly and buttered pasta; they entertain their pint-sized palates with everything from traditional Korean food to cracked crab and fresh vegetables.
