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).

Breakfast for Dinner?

One of our favorite places for dinner is known in our house as "Sin City." It's actually IHOP (International House of Pancakes). Perhaps that sounds like a strange favorite, but we like breakfast for dinner periodically. Why "Sin City"? Because most of what's available on the breakfast menu is enough food for at least two people, and the calorie, fat, and salt content of the breakfasts is pretty much unmentionable. Once upon a time, IHOP printed in their menus the calori

Something New, Weird, and Different

Today's posting really isn't weird--perhaps just a little different from most Wednesday night suppers. I'm offering you a recipe for a Plantain Casserole that is Dominican-style but contains quite a few modifications for our tastes. The dish uses fairly inexpensive ingredients and is easier than than making a pan of lasagna. I've relied on ground turkey in this version of the dish rather than ground beef, but, if you'd prefer the beef, go ahead and use 93 percent lean beef
