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!

What to Make With Turkey Tenderloins: A Simple Dinner in Your Slow Cooker

The recipe I'm posting today is a repeat of one that I like to make in the summer: Slow Cooked Turkey Tenderloin with Barley and Vegetables. The meal is great when you don't want to heat up your kitchen, and you can put the ingredients in the slow cooker and go off and do whatever you'd like or need to do. I use a rotisserie-seasoned tenderloin, but you could just as easily use a plain tenderloin or one seasoned with garlic and herbs. The tenderloin, even with little fat,

Cheap, Healthy, No Meat Meal: Barley and Chickpea Salad

You really won't miss the meat in this nutritious salad. Well, not much, hopefully, unless you're a die-hard carnivore. I'm re-posting the recipe for this salad--one I really like-- because spring is a great time get started on a new healthy eating plan or at least to begin adding more nutritious meals to your diet. Barley, one of the oldest grains in the world, has a nutty taste, is high in beneficial fiber, and is a rich source of essential nutrients, including protein,

Tired of Cooking? Make a Cheap, Quick, and Nutritious Barley Skillet Meal

Are you tired of cooking and also tired of eating the same old stuff (again!). This is a recipe I've made periodically and posted about before. I decided to post it again because the recipe is so easy to make as well as being nutritious and good--perfect if you are tired of cooking and eating the same old, same old. The skillet meal includes mild Italian turkey sausage, which boosts the protein but keeps the dish low in fat. Mushrooms complement the earthy flavor of the b

Simple Summer Slow Cooker Dinner: Turkey Tenderloin with Barley and Vegetables

The title pretty much tells you what today's posting is about: a simple summer meal that you make in the slow cooker so that you don't need to heat up your kitchen. The turkey tenderloin is very low in fat and cooks on top of a vegetable and barley mixture. I use a rotisserie-seasoned tenderloin, but you could just as easily use a plain tenderloin or one seasoned with garlic and herbs. The tenderloin, even with little fat, cooks up moist in the slow cooker and lends its s

Barley Bounty: Quick and Healthy Skillet Meal

Years ago at work the cafeteria served a dish they referred to as "Barley Bounty." It was meatless and actually pretty nutritious and good compared to much of what they served at the time. I wanted to try to re-create the dish but ended up changing almost all of the ingredients but the barley. I think the result is better. This version isn't meatless. It includes mild Italian turkey sausage, which boosts the protein but keeps the dish low in fat. I also included mushroo

No-Meat Protein Salad: Barley with Chickpeas

Barley, one of the oldest grains in the world, has a nutty taste, is high in beneficial fiber, and is a rich source of essential nutrients, including protein, B vitamins, and minerals like manganese and phosphorus. It also tastes good. It's chewy and absorbs flavors from liquids quite well. That's why barley is great in salads, like this one with chickpeas. The chickpeas, too, are nutrient dense, with protein, fiber, folate, and minerals like iron. In fact, even without

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!
