Yep, it's another rerun, but we're ending our summer filled with reruns with Aliens, Alien Treats that is :D Enjoy the show and be ready for the new episodes...they are coming...we promise!
This week we're rerunning one of our Thanksgiving episodes--Turkey Meatballs. Meatballs are not only easy to make with kids, but they're fun too. All that squishing of meat and forming into balls--need I say more.
Alex and Soph LOVE shrimp. We eat a lot of it and their favorite way to cook it is with Lemon Garlic Sauce. As we shared when this episode originally ran in January 2010, this recipe is kind of like a shrimp scampi, but it replaces all that butter with a reduced broth. It's really tasty and it's actually kinda healthy.
One of earliest shows features Alex's favorite sandwich recipe--Pickley Tuna Sandwiches. In case you missed it, we're rerunning the episode so everyone can watch Alex demonstrate this delicious sandwich recipe.
When the kids and I cook together, there are many times when we like to use fresh herbs. Since it's planting time here in good 'ole Minnesota, We're planting our annual patio herb garden. Each year, at the end of the season, I try to bring my herb garden indoors, but my thumb is not so green, apparently, so we usually have to start over each spring.

Every kids knows that when they get caught sneaking a cookie they are, at the very least, going to 'the look' from their mom, but more probably a scolding of sorts. They also know that if they get caught sneaking strawberries out of the fridge, their mom will assist them and ask them, 'would you like some water or milk with your snack?' They've learned which foods are 'bad' and which foods are 'good,' but do they know why? Continue Reading

I love living in Minnesota. I can't imagine having a year without continuous change every few months. Each season influences the food we crave. I will say my favorite season is fall; from the super tasty harvest, to the trees dressing up in my favorite colors. But, for us, the food of summer is always something we look forward to--the freshness and simplicity--makes me drool a little just thinking about it. Continue Reading

I know the last few weeks we've been really quiet and all you've seen from us is reruns, BUT, we've actually been pretty busy planning and taping new shows AND thinking up new stuff to help spread our enthusiasm for getting kids in the kitchen. Now, we have also been spending some time relaxing at the pool and enjoying our summer vacation. Oh, and don't forget Alex's baseball practices and games. Even with the weeks off we've had, we're still working hard at work producing new episodes and we're going to be heading out later this week for our 'Feasting Across Minnesota' road trip episodes!

Cooking is: The preparation of food. The process or activity of preparing food for eating.* That's a pretty simple definition, right? There's nothing in there about complicated techniques or exotic ingredients. Just plain and simple, 'preparation of food.' Continue Reading
