Whether you’re a fan of the Giants or the Patriots, we're all fans of Superbowl food.
It’s fried, fatty, decadent and delicious - it's like Halloween for adults, but without the costumes! (Unless you're one of those super fans who dress up and paint their faces.)
We are down to the Final Four teams left standing in the NFL. This weekend the New York Giants will play the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game, and the Baltimore Ravens will play the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship. The winner of those two games will play in the Super Bowl on Sunday February 5th.
Every year I compile a list of my top ten favorite kitchen gadgets and tools and forward it an email to all of my family and friends… this holiday season is no exception, only I’m sharing it with all of you wonderful and kitchen savvy mamas out there.
Want a change from the usual Thanksgiving turkey left-over sandwiches? How about a twist on an old favorite?
Turkey fried-rice!
This is my favorite recipe for fried-rice, but with a turkey twist!
Prepare 4-6 cups of rice, set aside. Special tip - the recipe comes out better if you prepare the rice ahead of time so it's cold.
Chop cooked turkey in small pieces.
Saute rice and turkey and scramble.
One of the side dishes that I look forward to most on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table is stuffing! Corn bread, seasoned, mushroom, andouille sausage, southwest style, cajun… seriously, I could pull a Forrest Gump here and and name a million and one different kind’s of stuffing that I love.
When the weather turns chilly, what's more comforting than a bowl of hot and hearty soup?
It's the perfect thing for a cold winter day - a delicious dish that fills you with warmth and good cheer.
Feeding a family is an expensive endeavor. Growing bodies, picky eaters, different schedules, soaring food costs -- families today are challenged to eat well and save money at the same time. Coming up with creative ways to budget for your family's meals doesn't have to be a full-time job.
Your child doesn't have to miss out on classic childhood recipes, such as macaroni and cheese, simply because she cannot tolerate gluten, the protein found in wheat and some other cereal grains. Several manufacturers produce a gluten-free pasta, typically made from quinoa, corn or rice flours or a combination of several gluten-free grains. You can find the pasta in the traditional elbow macaroni shape or in more interesting shapes such as spirals and letters. Check the ingredient lists of any condiments to make sure they do not have hidden gluten.
Whether you family prefers vegetarian food or ethnic food, or if everyone has a different favorite food plan, you can create a diverse and nutritious family diet plan. Consider your goals and your family's goals with the family diet. You might want to lose weight, change bad eating habits, develop fitness, diversify food choices or simplify the meal preparation routine. Use these goals to guide you through the steps of budgeting, shopping, cooking and eating out.
Although barbecue has been an integral part of southern cuisine for hundreds of years, it is by no means an American creation. Many countries around the world have their own style of barbecue that bears little resemblance to the traditional barbecue that takes place in our backyards. The increasingly health-conscious American public often replaces ribs and brisket with chicken to satisfy that barbecue craving, and looks to recipes from around the world.
