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).

The filler is the food, not my life story! And, after all, "food is love." I hope you are filled to capacity. And cook to fill others, too!

Cheap and Cheerful Dinner: Stuffed Fall Delicata Squash

Stuffed Delicata Squash is quick, easy, economical, nutritious, and incredibly delicious. It's a family favorite and a dish I make often in the fall. If you can't find delicata squash, substitute acorn squash or even butternut. They'll be good, too! The squash are mounded with a stuffing that includes plenty of onions, celery, apples, and turkey sausage and then baked in the oven. You'll need a box of stuffing for the recipe, or you can use stale bread that you've toaste

Super Sunday Dinner: Sausage Stuffed Beef Rolls

I originally published this recipe more than a year ago, but I decided to re-post it because it's perfect for Sunday night dinner and makes an especially good choice if you want something special, hearty (but not too fattening), and delicious to serve to guests before (or during) the Superbowl. The assembly process for the beef rolls is quick, and I've adapted the recipe so that you can cook the beef rolls in a slow cooker, which means that, once they've cooked, you can leav

Cheap, Cheerful Supper: Rigatoni with Sausage

Today's offering is cheap, nutritious, and generally will make people happy--assuming they like to eat well and aren't veggie haters, that is. The one-dish, stove-top dinner combines low-fat turkey sausage, onions, mushrooms, and little green peas in a simple, creamy, cheesy sauce. A little extra dusting of Parmesan cheese adds extra nutty saltiness to the dish. All you'll need to complete the meal is a green salad and perhaps some crusty bread to catch any lingering sauce

Cheap Fall Dinner: Stuffed Delicata Squash

Tonight's offering is quick, easy, economical, and nutritious. Stuffed Delicata Squash also is delicious. The squash are mounded with a stuffing that includes plenty of onions, celery, apples, and turkey sausage and then baked in the oven. You'll need a box of stuffing for the recipe, or you can use stale bread that you've toasted and seasoned, if you prefer. I cook the squash in the microwave before stuffing them to speed the process. The pre-cooking also makes halving

Low-Fat One-Pot Dinner: Turkey Sausage with Tortellini

This is a one-pot dinner that can win you a lot of points. It's easy, inexpensive, fast, and delicious. It's also light, so it won't weigh you down or oblige you spend forever on the treadmill (or mowing the lawn, which works about as well, provided you have a big yard and a push mower). The recipe uses fresh tomatoes for a light taste of summer, Italian flavored turkey sausage rather than the much fattier pork version, and evaporated skim milk rather than heavy cream. An

Cheap and Easy on the Tummy Turkey Sausage and Mushroom Bake

By easy on the tummy, I mean lower fat, fewer ingredients that are likely to cause heartburn and other gastrointestinal problems, and less salt and fiery spice than some Italian bakes. Nonetheless, the Turkey Sausage and Mushroom Bake doesn't taste like it's a "makeover" casserole. The bake has plenty of flavor from the turkey sausage as well as the earthy mushrooms. Low-fat ricotta adds a creamy, slightly sweet taste, and a splash of white wine lends a little acidity. A

Midweek Meal Miracle: Pasta with Sausage, Pears, and Goat Cheese

Tonight's offering--Pasta with Sausage, Pears, and Goat Cheese--is a one-pot meal that tastes like something you could order in a fancy restaurant. First you saute inexpensive, low-fat Italian turkey sausage with sweet onions, then add chicken broth and pasta, which cook along with the sausage and onions. I use large tubular pasta--paccheri--but rigatoni or something similar would be just fine. When the pasta is barely soft and much of the liquid is gone, you add sweet, ri

Not Your Mama's Stuffed Bell Peppers

Everyone has a slightly different way of making stuffed bell peppers, but most recipes are time-consuming and include green peppers, ground beef, rice, and tomato sauce. Not so this recipe. Microwaving the vegetables gives you a head start on your stuffed pepper production process and shortens the preparation and clean up time considerably. This recipe uses orange bell peppers, which are sweeter and riper than the green variety (although yellow or red peppers would work he

Involatini: Sausage Stuffed Beef Rolls

In Italy, involatini refers to bite-sized bundles of food. An outer layer--meat, vegetable, or poultry, usually--is wrapped around a filling of some sort. An Italian restaurant that we visit on special occasions makes a "chicken rollatini" that is their Americanized version. The restaurant version features chicken wrapped around ham and cheese and topped with a creamy marsala mushroom sauce. It's quite good and very, very rich. I decided to take a different tack and use
