Mukie of a Different Color

Kids learn to make a difference through the adventures of this tribe of primitive characters. The Mukies, who are too loyal for anger, too happy for worry, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble, have to work through prejudice, border wars, friendship trials, guilt, bullying, and finally peace keeping. There is the eternal search for peace and justice. Do they find it? Can a single individual make a difference in the world? Kids 8-12 are challenged in their thinking skills and decision making experiences. Order today for only $6.99 at Amazon.com and Smashwords.com

Are eating from boxes and doing drive-thru’s ruling your family’s mealtime? Does adding an ingredient or two to a package mean you are “cooking“?

For more on this subject of “Is anybody cooking?” and “is this safe and healthy?” see this article:

It’s time to reclaim our kitchens. Somebody needs to be in charge of mealtime.

What are your thoughts on this?
