Wed, 16 May 2012 12:40:02 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Two asparagus recipes in one week? The nerve of me! Well, I'm fully prepared to defend myself. Asparagus is in season in most parts of the country right now which means it's probably grown locally and a lot more fresh than if you bought it in January and it was flown here from who knows how far away. It's also likely a lot less expensive. When vegetables are in season, use them. A lot. In as many recipes as possible. And listen for...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/16/sugar-snap-pea-and-asparagus-saute/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sugar-snap-pea-and-asparagus-saute When my kids are feeling under the weather and don't feel like eating much of anything, one thing they will eat that I can always count on to help them feel better quick is this homemade Chicken Soup with Rice. Aside from eating it, Chloe and Kenya could read -- and sing -- Chicken Soup with Rice every day. After Maurice Sendak's passing last week, I decided to dedicate this video to him for writing a book we truly love about a recipe we completely adore: Chicken Soup with Rice.]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/15/how-to-make-chicken-soup-with-rice-in-honor-of-maurice-sendak/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-to-make-chicken-soup-with-rice-in-honor-of-maurice-sendak The day I was testing this recipe a friend of mine came over and began oohing and ahhing about the smell from the moment she walked into the kitchen. I pulled this dish of loveliness from the oven she asked me what it was. "Quiche," I said. "Quiche? What's that?" she asked me. How is it possible that she had never heard of quiche? Quiche is just a simple savory pie filled with a variety of fillings -- it was almost a staple of my diet growing up in Kentucky...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/14/ham-and-asparagus-quiche-a-simple-savory-pie/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ham-and-asparagus-quiche-a-simple-savory-pie If the appliances in my kitchen were all marriage material, I would have a horrible time choosing which one to settle down with forever. Seriously, how should a girl choose? So many of them are hard working, reliable and would honor me for a lifetime. But if I had to pick the one that is the most handsome, the one that makes me smile every time I see him, it would have to be my Kitchen Aid Artisan Standing Mixer. I use it...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/10/my-mothers-day-gift-to-you-a-new-kitchenaid-mixer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=my-mothers-day-gift-to-you-a-new-kitchenaid-mixer Forward this email to your husband, partner or child right away. O.K., Kenya and Chloe don't have email -- most 5 and 3 year-olds (thankfully) don't -- but you get my drift. You want this recipe in the hands of the people you love. You can leave them notes on their pillows, mention it in casual conversation at the dinner table, write a song about it or, just come right out and fess up to the fact that this is what you really want to have on Mother's Day morning...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/09/strawberry-parfaits-for-mamas-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=strawberry-parfaits-for-mamas-day Homemade ice cream in minutes?

Make it with your kids or even by yourself to enjoy at the end of a long day. This is a scrumptious no guilt treat...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/08/decadent-chocolate-banana-ice-cream-video/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=decadent-chocolate-banana-ice-cream-video What is it about a frosted cookie that makes kids go gaga? I think I could serve Chloe a mud biscuit and if there was icing on it I guarantee she would eat it. But since I'm not in the habit of serving my kids mud (at least not regularly), I've been making these Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies as a special treat. A lot cheaper then the iced cookies sold in the bakery at our local grocery, they're also made with better ingredients than what you will likely find in...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/07/lemon-poppyseed-cookies/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lemon-poppyseed-cookies I started weelicious almost 5 years ago, because I was having a difficult time figuring out what--and how--to feed my new eater. I was fairly shocked by the lack of information organized online especially since there are so many avenues available to parents and knew there had to be a better way. I experienced a somewhat similar situation the first time I was pregnant, assuming like many women that my only option was to find an OBGYN and have my baby at a hospital. Around that same time, one of my...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/03/spiced-carrot-and-rice-puree-in-honor-of-pregnancy-awareness-month/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spiced-carrot-and-rice-puree-in-honor-of-pregnancy-awareness-month I bet if I looked in the refrigerators of every home in the country, there would be some sort of cooked chicken in 8 out of every 10 of them. That's good news for moms in need of quick, delicious meals to prepare for their families, because whether you roast it, grill it or buy a juicy rotisserie bird at the market, cooked chicken is one of the most versatile foods you can keep on hand in your fridge. There are plenty of exciting things you can make with it like Mac, Chicken & Cheese Bites or Chicken, Bean and Cheese Quesadillas (both of which kids love), and these...]]> http://weelicious.com/2012/05/02/chicken-caesar-wrap/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=chicken-caesar-wrap Looking for easy Cinco de Mayo recipes?
