I'm sure it hadn't sat in the wine long enough to have made a difference but afterwards I asked my husband if it was weird I did that and he was like "Uh, no...In fact I didn't even realize you cut away the parts that touched the wine!" #badparents </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2227009 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 14:31:28 +0000 travelgirl1 2227009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: awesome, thanks :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226986 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:45:44 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2226986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as it's cooked, then yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226966 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:21:40 +0000 matador84 2226966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, the alcohol is more of a flavor...we make soaghetti sauce with red wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226939 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 12:04:58 +0000 lamariniere 2226939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: it was from the Smitten Kitchen cookbook, but here's the recipe here <a href="http://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/recipes/desserts-cakes/red-wine-velvet-cake-smitten-kitchen" rel="nofollow">http://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/recipes/desserts-cakes/red-wine-velvet-cake-smitten-kitchen</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226922 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 11:05:58 +0000 travelgirl1 2226922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Oooh could you share that chocolate cake recipe? Sounds yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226854 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 07:25:02 +0000 MoonMoon 2226854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for your responses guys! I wouldn't think twice about it but the topic came up among some mom friends and I thought I'd get some more opinions. I'm specifically thinking of a chocolate cupcake recipe with beer in it. Mmmmm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226824 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 01:25:27 +0000 lamariniere 2226824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My tomato sauce recipe calls for red wine and I make it pretty often. I also made a red wine chocolate cake for my DH's birthday, which was delicious and my LOs loved it. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226814 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 00:31:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2226814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like beer butt chicken? Or wine in pasta sauce? Of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226813 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 00:14:09 +0000 PurplePeony 2226813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet, but probably will when she's older (LO is 19 months now). Even though most of the alcohol cooks out, a bit still usually remains. For now, I just substitute extra liquid and/or a splash of some kind of vinegar. Alcohol isn't integral to most of the recipes (no penne alla vodka!) so I don't miss it that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226714 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 18:31:44 +0000 mrscobee 2226714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never have even thought twice about this. Don't see what the harm would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226705 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 18:22:41 +0000 autumnlove 2226705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I made roast beef sandwiches in the crockpot last week...beer and red wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-eat-recipes-with-alcohol-in-them#post-2226671 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 17:02:57 +0000 MoonMoon 2226671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cooked so most of the alcohol is gone, cakes, muffins, sauces, that sort of thing. </p>
