Shrimp & Veggie Stir Fry Program

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Every few weeks, I contribute videos and recipes to GoodBite.com, a food site that spotlights different food bloggers. For their new web series “Real Fast Food”, I made the above video for a super fast, easy and healthy stir fry using only 5 ingredients. It’s actually very similar to my recipe on weelicious for Shrimp and Rice Noodle Stir Fry.

This recipe will take you less time to prepare then driving to your local Chinese restaurant, picking up food and getting back home to eat. Heck, it will take you less time than it does to call the restaurant and order in Chinese! If you’re looking for a delicious dinner idea that takes very little effort but will seem special and your entire family will love, this is for you!

Chicken in a Crock Pot

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Do you have little time, but still want a nutritious, delicious and easy meal everyone in your family will enjoy? Chicken in a Crockpot only takes minutes to prepare and basically cooks itself. If you’ve never cooked a whole chicken, you have to try this method!

Have you ever tried seaweed? It’s packed with vitamins and minerals and everyone who’s tried this Brown Rice Pilaf recipe loves it!

Pear and Apple Chips Program

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

We love eating fruit chips, but they’re quite expensive to buy at the supermarket, so we decided to make our own. All you have to do is thinly slice sweet pears and apples and in no time flat you have healthy, crispy chips that everyone in your family will adore.

Create Your Day!

Monday, January 25th, 2010

As some of you may know, I’m a contributor to GoodBite.com. Starting several months ago, Good Bite teamed up with Quaker to raise money and spread awareness for good causes and they just launched a great new charitable challenge.

I encourage all of you to “CREATE YOUR DAY” by going to www.QuakerOats.com/createyourday and discovering an oatmeal creation that will best help you tackle the day that lies ahead for you. For every bowl of oatmeal you create on this site, GoodBite.com & Quaker will donate $1.00 to “Share Our Strength”, a charity dedicated to ending childhood hunger — up to $25,000! This goal is no small feat, but with your help we can do it. $25,000 will go a long way to helping Share Our Strength continue their important work.

I had the best time plugging in my favorite toppings to some of the Quaker products and coming up with hilarious names for my creations. You have to give it a try. It’s like making a virtual breakfast. I actually get so hungry doing it that I have to go straight to the kitchen afterwards to eat. At least it’s for a good cause!

Parchment Paper Program

This Parchment Paper Tofu recipe is not only fast to prepare, healthy and easy on the wallet, kids love to help make them and then eat them up!

Happy New Year!

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

If you’re like me, the past few weeks were filled with rich holiday meals, lots of desserts and a good deal of mindless eating. Well, it’s the beginning of a new year and now is as good a time as any to devote yourself to fun, easy and healthy recipes that everyone in the family wants to eat. Yesterday morning I made Pumpkin Pancakes to ring in the New Year and today we’re going to have super easy Tortilla Wraps that I can whip up in no time flat.

My New Year’s resolution is to make everything I do in the kitchen as simple as possible so I can spend as much time with my family without any undue stress. Hopefully this video we made for Tortilla Wrap will inspire you to get in the kitchen with your family and make both cooking and eating fun!

Weelicious Best of 2009: Day Three

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Kenya has a lot of favorite recipes. The truth is, I think everything he does is brilliant and he thinks everything I cook is delicious. That is the quid pro quo of our relationship (wink, wink). One of Kenya’s all time favorite recipes that I make for our family is Red Beet & White Bean Hummus. It has a super creamy taste, a smooth texture and is delicious to eat. Parents magazine even wrote an article about weelicious featuring this recipe and we got tons of emails from parents saying how much their kids loved it too.

Kenya and I had so much fun shooting this video that I wanted to share it with you again. It’s a really fun and easy recipe to prepare with your kids (which will hopefully make them want to eat it even more!).

Cheese Bowl Program

Friday, December 4th, 2009

You should have seen Kenya’s face when I asked him if he wanted to eat a bowl. I think he thought I was crazy until I showed him these Cheese Crisps shaped like bowls. They’re a ton of fun for kids becasue you can fill them with fresh or dried fruit, nuts, olives, cubes of cheese and more. Whenever you think outside of the box with food, kids tend to love it!

Yogurt, Cinnamon & Honey “Ice Cream” Program

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Ice cream for breakfast? Absolutely! Especially if it’s a healthy recipe like this Yogurt, Cinnamon & Honey “Ice Cream”. Since there’s tons of protein and calcium in the yogurt and no refined sugar, eating a scoop of it’s a perfect way to start (or finish) your kid’s day.
