Welcome to thenfeedthem.com!
The write-ups are short and so are the recipes! You won't have to scroll far to reach what you're really after--the food. Thenfeedthem.com focuses on providing tasty, easy, simple recipes for time-crunched, hungry, frugal, cash-poor people. Or just about everyone at some point or another.

No, there's not a lot about me here. I'm a writer (of books), cook, and normal person, most of the time. I'll tell you a little about my life in my posts but not much (I'm kind of boring). After all, the filler is the food, not my life story! And if, "food is love," I hope you are filled to capacity. And cook to fill others, too!

Need an Inexpensive, Easy, Fancy Dinner? Make Butternut Pasta Bake

Today's post is for a basic "mac 'n cheese" with a twist. This version is for pasta cooked in one pan on the stove with a mild, creamy butternut squash sauce. The pasta cooks first, then the squash is added. A little nutty Gruyere, or Swiss cheese, flavors the pasta, along with some sharp Parmesan. Last, Parmesan is sprinkled on top of the pasta, and the pan goes in the oven to brown for just few minutes. What you get is a creamy, slightly sweet/salty pasta bake that's l

Inexpensive, Slow Cooker Comfort Food: Polish Sausage, Sauerkraut, and Noodle Casserole

We ate this mouth-watering casserole before I could get the pictures taken of the complete dish. The Polish sausage and sauerkraut mixture was bubbling away in the slow cooker, sending out incredible aromas. By dinner time, we couldn't wait for the photos. Oops. Nonetheless, the two of us didn't scarf down the whole casserole, so I did manage some pictures to give you an idea of how the dish will turn out. The casserole uses inexpensive and convenient ingredients, which

Tired of Sourdough? Make Sunday Sesame-Swiss Bread

If you're tired of sourdough and have access to commercial yeast, this bread may be a good option for you. Why is it a Sunday bread? Well, I like to make bread on Sunday afternoons when I have time to let the bread rise. Don't worry, though. This isn't a time-consuming, fussy bread I'm offering you. The hands-on and clean-up time are minimal. Plus, with only a little effort on your part, you can bake a fragrant, whole-grain loaf of bread that's crusty on the outside an

Cheap and Easy Brunch Dish: Bacon-Swiss Bake

Bacon-Swiss Bake is a light casserole with enough bacon and Swiss cheese in it to flavor it but not so much that the dish is greasy or leaden in your tummy. The major protein hits in the dish are eggs and low-fat cottage cheese. The two meld with a little bacon and Swiss cheese into a lovely, light casserole. A bit of Parmesan cheese provides a savory sharpness. Some minced dried onions and chives add additional flavor. Don't be tempted to use fresh onions instead of the

Cheap and Fast Comfort Food: Polish Casserole

So, I have to confess. We ate this mouth-watering Polish Casserole before I could get the pictures taken of the complete dish.

Crustless Spinach-Swiss Quiche

You won't miss the crust in this quiche, and it's a great way to use up leftover spinach. The quiche makes a nice, filling but not-too-heavy, breakfast or brunch dish, or you can serve it for an easy supper with a salad and bread (sourdough!). The quiche includes no flours, so if you have gluten-sensitive people to feed, it's a good alternative. Best of all, the quiche tastes great with minimum work! Mildly flavored with plenty of cheesy goodness! Yum, yum. Crustless Spi

Wednesday Night Breakfast: Bacon and Swiss Protein Bake

Why save breakfast for the morning? Breakfast dishes are quick to make, filling, and just as good for dinner as for breakfast. Bacon and Swiss Protein Bake--essentially a crust-less quiche--is full of good things that shouldn't be relegated to morning feedings. Although the dish is flavored with bacon and Swiss cheese, the real protein punch comes from eggs and cottage cheese--keeping the fat content in check. You can mix up the protein bake, pop it in the oven, and let i

Add More Protein to Your Breakfast: Try a Bacon-Swiss Bake

You really do need to have something besides sourdough bread and cookies to eat. So today I'm offering a breakfast dish that's loaded with protein rather than carbohydrates. Bacon-Swiss Bake is a light casserole with enough bacon and Swiss cheese in it to flavor it but not so much that the dish is greasy or leaden in your tummy. The major protein hits in the dish are eggs and low-fat cottage cheese. The two meld with the bacon and Swiss cheese into a lovely, light cassero

Slow Cooked Reuben Chicken

Sometimes you just need something easy, warm, cheap, and comforting. Reuben chicken should fit the bill. I often find giant packages of giant chicken breasts on sale and split up the packages for multiple meals; this is one of them. Surrounded by sauerkraut, the chicken braises to fork tenderness. Caraway seeds provide an interesting, traditional flavor to the unusual (and far less fatty) Reuben meat. I like to cook the chicken with little red potatoes so that the potat

Sunday Baking: Sesame-Swiss Bread

This is a blog about feeding people well--nutritiously, frugally, and with things that taste good. So how can I leave out bread, which is one of the fundamentals of good eating? Sunday also is a good day for baking bread as you probably have more time for letting it rise. Don't worry, though. This isn't a time-consuming, fussy bread I'm offering you. The hands-on and clean-up time are minimal, and the bread is far less costly than the frou frou artisan versions you can b

Where are all the advertisements?

I hate them, so I'm not including them! I'll figure out how to "monetize" the site/blog later--much later (or maybe never). For now, enjoy the ideas, recipes, and food and please post the links on your social media so others can enjoy the food!
