Diana Levine is an advertising and editorial photographer and a mom to a bouncing young toddler. When she’s not chasing around her son, on a shoot or spending time with family, she is in the kitchen, creating easy, vegetarian and family-friendly recipes, which she shares on her cooking blog.
Between latkes, doughnuts and gelt, it’s easy to slip into a pattern of less-than-nutritious eating during Chanukah. That’s why Diana came up with quick, oven-baked cauliflower latkes that still look and taste festive.
With a few quick updates to the traditional latke recipe, you can make sure your children are enjoying the tastes of Chanukah, while still providing important nutrients in their diets. This recipe is simple and healthy and will delight both children and adults. In place of potatoes, I use mashed cauliflower, and rather than frying…
Trying to get your little ones to eat more vegetables? Diana likes to transform them into something her three-year-old son doesn’t recognize. The result: these homemade sweet potato nuggets.

Personally, I prefer them with a slice of melted Swiss cheese, but…
With a toddler and a baby at home, Diana and her family have come up with ten modern ways to celebrate Shabbat that work for even the youngest members of the household.
Baking with children is a great way to teach them about measuring and following directions and is a special opportunity to make memories together. Diana has a cookie recipe that even suits toddlers.
Making cookies with your children is a wonderful way to introduce them to the kitchen. I prefer not to use any raw eggs or potentially dangerous kitchen equipment when cooking with a child as young as my son (22 months old), which many cookie recipes require. That’s why I love this recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies…
With a 22-month-old bouncing around, Diana is always on the lookout for nutritious meals that can be prepared in the time it takes to watch an episode of Sesame Street.
