Kids are all online.
Something like home pages for the holidays are giving parents an opportunity to be online with the kids. Kiebel's baked mushroom dish was so popular at Thanksgiving dinner in Englewood, Colo., everyone in the family wanted the recipe. It was just a lot easier for me to say, 'Well go to my Web site. I do cook a fair amount and I thought instead of trying to sort through the other recipes I would just do a holiday page. The Kiebels have also received electronic holiday newsletters from family spread out all over the country.
