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!

In the Advent Kitchen -- Fourth Sunday

Apple-Kale Salad Pork Shoulder Roast with Vegetables Steamed Broccoli Caraway Seed Bread Cranberry-Hazelnut Torte Dulce de Leche Ice Cream This is a classic Sunday dinner. Your grandmother would be proud of you if you serve it. The apple-kale salad complements the pork nicely and is best mixed up and refrigerated early in the day. Caraway seed bread is similar to Irish soda bread and can bake in the oven with the roast. The caraway seeds and raisins give the bread wonderf

Fall Supper: Pork Scaloppini with Mushrooms

Pork Scaloppini with Mushrooms is one of those incredibly easy meals that cook quickly and taste as though you spent forever in the kitchen. The secret is that the pork is sliced very thin and so cooks in only a few minutes, meaning that it also stays tender--unless you cook it too long, so don't! Once you've browned the pork on both sides, remove it from the pan to a plate. Then cook the sauce and add the pork back to the pan just before you serve it. Because the meat is

Lighter Pork Piccata

I love piccata--veal, chicken, fish, or, in this case, pork--but I don't like the idea of the calories and fat involved in sauteing the meat in butter and oil. So, I cut back on the amount of oil and butter I use and increase the flavor with plenty of lemon zest and juice. Pounding the pork cutlets with flour helps tenderize them, but you can skip the pounding if you're in a hurry. The cutlets won't be quite as tender, but they'll be good. Because I don't use much oil, I

Beyond the One-Pot Meal: Simple Weeknight Pork Roast

One-pot meals have their place, but often it's just as easy to make a simple main dish with vegetables and a salad--such as this simple weeknight pork roast. The roast cooks in under an hour and is hands-off once you put it in the oven. For that matter, preparing the roast for cooking takes less than five minutes. The roast does its thing in the oven while you zap a green vegetable in the microwave and toss a salad. For a really simple addition, you could roast some red s

What to cook for the first Sunday of Advent? How about a special dinner to celebrate the lighting of the first Advent candle? Carrot-Date Salad Cranberry-Rhubarb Pork Cutlets Butternut Squash Bake With Cranberry Crumble Broccoli Advent Cake The carrot-date salad is unusual.

Supper to Share

Although this is a website/blog devoted in large part to preparing an Advent cookbook, any of the recipes you see here are fit to be eaten any time. Like tonight. Similarly, why wait until Advent to share a meal with others? People do get hungry during other times of the year, and almost certainly would be willing to partake of your culinary efforts, whether at a festively decorated table, a picnic table, or your kitchen counter. Or, if people can't come to you, why not t

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!
