Our family ‘boss heirarchy’ according to Georgia:

Dad’s the boss of the house.
Mom’s the boss of Dad.
Lizzy is the boss of the kids.
Sam is the boss of doing the dishes (lucky Sam!)

And …

Georgia is the boss of “telling everybody what they’re the boss of, and my toys”.

Hmmm … Who’s the boss?

Lizzy thanks you all for the birthday wishes yesterday! She loved her cake, which I made using this delicious recipe from the Kraft Foods.

Well, it’s what was for dinner a couple of nights ago. By popular demand I am going to show you how to go about making the salad/pizza dish and cornbread salad that I made at the Kraft Kitchens with Chef Harry Crane and Danielle of foodmomiac.

I’ll start with the ‘Bistro Salad/Pizza‘ combo (cornbread salad coming soon)! Mmmmm!

Prep: 6 minutes / Total time: 22 minutes

I think the beauty of this meal (besides the great taste), is the presentation. It looks good. In reality, you could just pop the pizza in the oven and serve up the salad on the side, but it’s better this way. It’s attractive! You could fool guests into thinking you’re somewhat sophisticated. Well I could! Then again, you should see my friends.

If you’ve been following me on Twitter, or if you read my previous post, you’ll know that I spent a couple days last week in Chicago touring the Kraft Kitchens.

I wasn’t alone. I was joined by a great group of bloggers. From left to right: Me (mommyknows), Dawn of Because I said so, Janice of 5minutesformom, Rachel of asouthernfairytale, Irene Rosenfeld, CEO of Kraft Foods, Elizabeth of busymom, Silvia of Mamalatina, Sandy of 4 reluctant entertainers and Liz of thisfullhouse.

We were welcomed to the Kraft Kitchens by Bob Becker. Bob is the head of Kraft Food’s new products division.

It’s been nuts this week in Mommyknowsville. Along with our usual, super busy schedule, I was lucky enough fly to Chicago to visit the Kraft Kitchens. I’ve got a great post in the works all about the trip. It was fabulous.

Mr. MK and I passed each other briefly in the hallway Friday morning. I’d just arrived home from the Kraft tour and he was headed out on a rock climbing holiday. Well, it was more than a passing (but barely), he had just enough time to rustle through my suitcase and steal my ‘Back to Nature’ Nuts!

*Edit: this is not Mr. MK. It’s my good friend Scott.

I call this one: Kraft took Mommyknows to Chicago and gave her some ‘Back to Nature’ nuts. Mommyknows took the Kraft nuts to the Canadian Rockies and took them back to nature.

See you soon!
