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, 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!

Stretch the Meat With Baked Polenta With Turkey Sausage Sauce

Sometimes you need a simple, economical supper that's low stress and comforting. Enter Baked Polenta with Turkey Sausage Sauce. It's cheap and easy to make but good enough to serve guests. You'll need to cook the polenta on the stove first, and it's best if you do so ahead. You can make the polenta a day or two ahead, if you'd like. Nonetheless, I've whipped up the polenta just before I've baked it. It will be fine, albeit a bit less firm. The sauce is simple to pull t

How to Make a Cheap and Good Spinach and Polenta Soup

Well, I just came back from the grocery stores today, and I'm shocked at how much meat prices have risen just since the last time I was there--last week! So, today's offering is a meatless but hearty and inexpensive (and nutritious!) Spinach and Polenta Soup. Traditionally, soups are a peasant meal, probably because they're cheap, filling, and make use of whatever foods are available. Whether you're short of money or well off, I think Spinach and Polenta Soup would be a we

How to Make Orange Rosemary Cornmeal Cookies

Oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies are great. Kids and adults love them. Nonetheless, sometimes you want something a little different. Different, though, doesn't mean weird-tasting or made with hard-to-find, expensive ingredients. Hence these Orange Rosemary Cornmeal Cookies. They're a little out of the ordinary, easy to do, economical, and quite good. The cookies are slightly sweet with a nubby texture from the cornmeal. The orange and rosemary combination is unusual in

Saturday Breakfast Idea: Spoon Bread

How about something good and easy for breakfast this weekend? This is one of my favorite weekend and holiday breakfast dishes, partly because it's so simple to make (yes, it uses a corn muffin mix!) The “spoon bread” isn’t really bread. It’s a casserole and includes eggs, milk, and Greek yogurt, making it protein-rich but not heavy in your stomach. The spoon bread has a slightly custardy layer and a more grainy cornmeal layer to it, but the layers aren’t that distinct. You

Spinach Polenta Soup: Not Just for Peasants

It's a thick, comforting soup made with cornmeal, which is boiled with chicken broth, onions, and herbs. After the soup thickens, you add milk, spinach, and

Quick Pumpkin Scones

I love scones, but I don't like rolling them out or making a lot of mess with them in the kitchen. So, I've been working on ways to streamline the process without compromising on the taste and appearance of the scones. These quick pumpkin scones are the latest result of my efforts. The scones require only one bowl to mix up, one baking sheet, and not a lot of fuss. I can have hot, fragrant, mouth-watering scones in about 30 minutes. The pumpkin and spices are gentle in t

Fast Cookies: Orange-Coconut Biscotti

Most people who cook seem to think biscotti are time-consuming to make. They aren't. Which is one reason I really like biscotti. I need only one cookie sheet to make them--which means easy cleanup. The biscotti also are one of the few cookies I can mix up, pop in the oven while I prepare the rest of my dinner--the first bake is about 30 minutes--and then finish baking while my family eats. Admittedly, I do need to turn the biscotti once during dinner, but that takes only

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!
