Stuffing: How Do You Make It?
November 6, 2009 at 11:41 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (13)
I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year. It will be the first time I cook dinner with all the fixings for a big crowd. *Gulp.* I've got the turkey under control. But the one food that's stressing me out? The stuffing!
Help!

Pizza Bites! An Appetizer, A Meal...Or Just Because
November 5, 2009 at 12:45 PM by Cafe Kim - Comments (5)
My stomach is growling for these Pizza Bites (from For the Love of Cooking)—pillowy balls of pizza dough filled with cheese and pepperoni with a side of pizza sauce. Yum!

Healthy Fast Food Both Moms and Kids Agree On

The following is a guest post by Ideal Bite's Mama Bite contributor Jennifer Orr. My girls love, crave, go nuts for junk food...basically anything with little or no nutritional value. To satisfy their cravings and my must-be-good-for-you standards, I've learned some tricks to turn their favorite fast food into a somewhat healthy dinner (and for healthier snacks, try these makeovers).

One-Pot Meal: Garlic Pot Roast and Sweet Potatoes
November 4, 2009 at 7:30 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (1)
Happy One-Pot Wednesday!
We eat a lot of sweet potatoes in my house because they're high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and fiber. Plus, yams taste great because they're naturally sweet! We'll be trying this easy recipe for one-pot Garlic Pot Roast and Sweet Potatoes from Betty Crocker. Just combine ingredients in the crock pot and leave it to cook all day.

What's for Dinner? Sweet and Sour Chicken Strips
November 3, 2009 at 12:45 PM by Cafe Kim - Comments (3)
My MIL made us yummy (but healthy!) Sweet and Sour Chicken Strips for dinner last night. It's a quick, little recipe that you can mix up the night before, marinade overnight, and then grill on skewers or broil in about 10 minutes. Serve with rice and a veggie, and you've got an easy meal! I've also included her recipe for Dipping Sauce—which is optional, but I find goes quite nicely with the strips.

My Mom's Cooking Is My Favorite

My mom's sauce!
My mom doesn't have a lot of variety in what she cooks, but wow, what she does make tastes amazing.
My favorite meal is her pasta and meatballs. Her red sauce is a combination of what her mom used to make along with her own add-ins. And the meatballs -- incredible. One of the many benefits of being part Italian.

One-Pot Meal: Pumpkin Pie Chili

Mistibreuer1978 wrote a recent journal post about her Pumpkin Pie Chili. Some moms are saying "Ewwwww," but I think it sounds warm and delicious—and easy, too! It might be just the thing to serve to your little trick-or-treaters before they go out on Halloween night.

Halloween Recipes: Mummy Pizzas

Kids love Mummy Dogs for Halloween, so why not Mummy Pizzas? These are made with pizza dough (I'd use English Muffins), sauce, string cheese, and black olives. Visit Kara's Kitchen Creations for the easy how-to.
Do you prefer Mummy Dogs or Mummy Pizzas?
