If you love your orange dreamsicles and other smoothies, you have to try this recipe from Prevention magazine. There are 19 other yummy treats to try, too, and not only are they delicious—they also pack a powerful nutritional punch. I am thinking of serving up a smoothie for my kiddo (and myself!) every morning this summer.
I wasn't interested in watching Hannibal until I started reading Janice Poon's new blog called Feeding Hannibal. Poon is the lead food stylist and culinary expert on the production of Hannibal. After reading Poon's hilarious adventures and fascinating artistic fakes, I just queued up the available episodes to watch on Hulu tonight.
Bullying and intolerance often stem from a simple lack of understanding. We can help children learn about people from all over the world and develop an understanding, and even an appreciation, of all people to prevent such violence. Here are seven fun tools we can use to do this.
Special Guests
Whether it's breakfast in bed or at the table, brunch is a staple of Mother's Day celebrations. But there's no need to kill yourself trying to make complicated dishes. It's better to stick with these simple classics, as easy to prepare as they are delicious.
1. Bacon
Everyone loves bacon! Even vegetarians, which is why soy bacon is so popular.
A lot of homeschooling families skip the whole pretend play kitchen and food and let their kids cook along with them in the kitchen. My daughter was spreading butter with a butter knife at four, and I know other parents whose children do the same (with supervision, of course).
My daughter still has fake food to play with because she asked for it for Christmas (she uses it to feed her stuffed animals), but she cooks with me pretty regularly. Here are a few things that we have learned together so far.
It’s already hitting 80 degrees here in Missouri, and I’m not one for the heat. Fortunately I know a few good recipes for cool treats to keep my family happy. This éclair cake is actually something I make every December for my husband’s birthday, but it’s a really good summer dessert.
All you need is a packet of vanilla pudding, some graham crackers, a tub of Cool Whip and a container of chocolate icing. You’ll also need as much milk is directed on the package of pudding.
Ugh, salad dressing. OK, here is the deal: I don't like vegetables. About 95 percent of the time, I can only handle them in "salad" form. (Or hummus! Hummus counts as a vegetable, right?) Ever since going low-carb, I have been eating a lot of salads.
But guess what? A few weeks ago, I discovered that every single salad dressing in the grocery store contains sugar. Italian dressing, ranch dressing, Thousand Island dressing, Caesar dressing… sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.
Last week as I was bemoaning the fact that cured and brined meats (including sausage, bacon, and deli meat) always contain sugar, a friend clued me into chorizo. You will still want to read the label if you are trying to go low carb, because some forms of chorizo do include sweeteners or carb fillings.
Do you want to let that special someone know you care without having to do it every single day? Don't fret! Slow Message allows you to create messages now and define a 'loose' period of time that you want the recipient to receive your email. It can be sent in days, weeks, months or years, depending on what you choose. It sounds romantic to some. Unless it's someone that you know you're going to care about months down the road, though (a child, a parent), it smells like a recipe for disaster.
It’s National Travel Week and that’s got me wondering: Why do we love to travel?
There’s as many reasons as there are travelers. It’s in our DNA from ancient ancestors walking across icy straits in search of what? Probably food and perhaps warmer weather. Today the same could be said as exotic recipes are a lure for foodies and who doesn’t love a warm, tropical vacation?
