Kitchen is considered as the heart of the home and the hot spot. Hot because in there is literally hot because of cooking and using the appliances there. We have appliances like refrigerator, rice cooker, oven, turbo broiler, coffee maker, blender and etc. These tools take a lot of power and energy. This is one of the most problems in household aspect. 40% of energy consumed is in the kitchen.
Energy efficiency is now the norm when building, renovating or remodelling kitchens, says Doug Kerr, of award-winning Kerr Construction in Vancouver. Softening the kitchen carbon footprint is good news for the environment. And continuing improvements in energy-saving products makes choices stylish, functional and endless. Plus there are attractive government incentives for home owners to install home energy improvements.
Some people suggest of using green kitchen since we have to conserve energy. One of the high cost bills is electricity. To lower its use, we have to be thrifty and wise in using appliances. [via theobserver.ca]

Kids in the Kitchen? Why not!
by: Michelle S. Nojadera
Kids are the focus of one's home. Parents need ways of having bonding time together with their kids. Nowadays, kitchen is the most used place of having quality time with them, specifically through cooking. In the tradition, kids must not be involved in kitchen since it has so many dangerous utensils needed for cooking and not as toys for them.
There are people who actually involve kids in the kitchen; they have different ways in executing their bonding time. Those are The Spatulatta Sisters, better known as Isabella and Olivia Gerasole, learned to make delicate pizzelle cookies from their grandmother and Hawaiian salads from their mother, and acquired a love of all foods like Italian dishes from their dad. Second is Fieri, who makes pizza and popcorn with his two young sons, urges parents to be cautious with kids in the kitchen but also to give them enough freedom to make the experience meaningful. Third is Barbara Beery, president of the Batter up Kids cooking school in Austin, Texas, said parents need to make sure their children are given age-appropriate tasks that won't be too hard. She said 2-year-olds can scrub food clean, 3-year-olds can put toppings on a pizza or decorate cookies, 4-year-olds can crack eggs over a bowl or spread peanut butter with small spatulas, and 5-year-olds can measure ingredients, stir with spoons or knead dough. Beery suggests that kid-friendly smaller utensils make cooking easier for children. And they enjoy having their own tools. She suggests giving children their own colored sponges and having them wipe up as they go along. Fourth, Tanya Wenman Steel, editor-in-chief of recipe site Epicurious.com and co-author of "Real Food for Healthy Kids," said parents should plan a night for cooking with the children so they aren't trying to jam it on busier days.
They have different views in bringing kids in the kitchen. This only tells us that if we want kids to grow up industrious and ready for the chores in the kitchen, we must let them do those activities not because we want them to help us but most of all, to teach them and let them learn in advance for the preparation in their independent life in the future.

She suggests making two or three dishes together on Sunday that can be leftover lunch and dinner the rest of the week. Lastly, She also said setting out a scrap bowl for items like vegetable peels and extra pieces of dough can cut down on messes. Bridget Swinney, a registered dietitian, family eating expert and author of "Baby Bites", a book about feeding babies and toddlers, said children love making dishes that include toppings, such as pizza, tacos or pancakes.
