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!

Need a Lettuce Alternative? Make a Watercress and Orange Salad

The lettuce in our area is less than optimum--meaning it's missing from the markets or looks like it was hanging out in the trucks for weeks before it made it to the shelves--so I have sometimes been opting for "alternative greens," in this case watercress. The cress, which should be bright green and crisp, often is considerably less expensive than bagged lettuce. Making the Watercress and Orange Salad is simple. The main ingredients are the watercress, orange pieces, goat

How to Make Sourdough Apple Butter and Goat Cheese Crepes

These crepes are a favorite at my house and are easy to make. The crepes also are great to make if you need to use up some discard. The sourdough discard gives the tender, eggy crepes a pleasant yeasty taste. A filling of sweet, spicy apple butter and tangy, creamy goat cheese works well with the sourdough flavor. You can make the crepes in advance and refrigerate them until you're ready to fill them, which takes only a few minutes. Then, pop the filled crepes into the o

Air Fryer Pear, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Salad

The air fryer is quite handy for roasting vegetables and fruits, like pears for this Pear, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Salad. The pears caramelize on the edges during their stint in the air fryer and come out soft, warm, and sweet. A scattering of earthy, nutty goat cheese provides contrast and toasts up to warm creaminess on top of the pears. The pears nestle in a bed of fresh baby spinach scattered with bright carrots and sliced green onions. While the pears "air fry," you

Watercress and Orange Salad

I recently saw and bought watercress at an international market with the idea that I would, finally, re-create a salad I'd seen in Dublin last year. I hadn't had a chance before because I hadn't seen any (affordable) watercress that looked remotely edible. The cress I bought was bright green and fresh, calling out to me to take it home for only 99 cents. Okay, I thought. Time to make the orange salad. The salad itself is simple. The main ingredients are the watercress,

Too Much Sourdough Discard? Try Apricot Goat Cheese Bread

I ran across a recipe from Joan Nathan that I wanted to try. It was "Quick Goat Cheese Bread With Mint and Apricots." From Nathan's description, the bread sounded really good and a bit different--savory rather than sweet. Nonetheless, rather than following her recipe, I had sourdough discard to use, so I decided to try to adapt her quick bread recipe to the sourdough process. I'm afraid I took liberties with her recipe. A lot of liberties. I did try to keep the basic fl

Sourdough Crepes for Sunday Brunch: Apple Butter and Goat Cheese

In my constant effort to use up discard from my sourdough starter, I decided I needed to make crepes--again. This time, I opted for crepes using a rye discard, because the starter I needed to feed is rye-based. I also was curious to see how the rye crepes would taste. Really good. They are tender and eggy with a pleasant yeasty taste. A filling of sweet, spicy apple butter and tangy, creamy goat cheese worked well to complement the rye. I made the crepes in advance and

Winter Antidote: Goat Cheese and Pear Salad

Are you feeling a need to eat more green stuff in preparation for a big Super Bowl eat-fest? Or are you seeking something special for a winter meal? Opt for a goat cheese and pear salad. Rather than the tasteless, squishy, and expensive tomatoes that fill winter grocery shelves, this salad takes advantage of sweet, juicy pears and and easy-to-find celery and carrots for flavor, vitamins, and fiber. Earthy, pungent goat cheese combines with a slightly sweet dressing to giv

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!
