• #20 What is Donald Trump's Favorite Meal? Joe Biden's? George Washington's? A Fun Episode on what the Presidents like to eat.
    2024/11/20

    Today, I thought it might be fun to talk about some US presidents and their favorite meals, with Thanksgiving coming up next week, and in honor of the elections. Let's talk about some of our recent presidents and what they liked to eat. And then I'll mention some from quite long ago, and what they enjoyed.

    I find it really fascinating seeing what someone will eat when they have a chef at their disposal, and can eat whatever they want. I think the first ladies would have had a lot to do with planning menus, and even encouraging their husbands to eat healthier things. Some of the things I'll mention are from when the presidents are just on their own, and they eat whatever they feel like, and then other things would be more what they would eat if there's a White House dinner, or a small dinner party, or if they’re simply eating with their wives, but is still cooked by the chef.

  • #19 Ten (plus) Utensils That I Find Really Useful for Cooking and Serving Meals
    2024/11/18

    Today, we're going to be talking about kitchen utensils that I find really helpful in cooking and serving food.

    I don't like having a ton of stuff, especially gimmicky things, lying around the kitchen. Good utensils have got to be simple, fit into the drawers, and really be super helpful.

    There are no affiliate links with these - these are just things that I have in our home that I wouldnt want to do without. See familyfoodformoms.com for photos.

    Let's chat!

    2024/11/13

    It's a fun one today. We're going to talk about what we can learn from Masterchef. I'm sure you all know the show Masterchef, Masterchef USA. There's Masterchef Australia. We like to watch Masterchef USA and Masterchef Junior. And it's always so inspiring to me even what the young kids can cook and how elegantly they do it and how much variety.

    They seem to know how to cook all these obscure ingredients that I have never tried to eat before, let alone cook. But it's very exciting and inspiring. So I thought I would just mention for fun 10 things that I've learnt from watching Masterchef.

  • #16 What Food Items I like to Prep in Advance to Make Sure the Week Runs Smoothly
    2024/11/06

    Today I want to talk about things that we prep in our kitchen for the week. Now I'm not talking about meals, not meal prep. Other things, so snacks, protein maybe to add to breakfast, sauces, salad dressings, bone broth, sides maybe for family members who don't eat wheat or who are gluten free and then I want to replace them with something.

    And then the meat and veg that I cook through the week. So, I'm mainly going to be talking about all the things that we prep at the beginning of the week. But I may just mention some of the others. So this really helps me because then I've got snacks organized, I've got a good breakfast supplement organized when the kids make their own breakfast.

    We've got homemade sauces and we've got all the things that really help with the health and with the flavor and the yumminess.

  • #15 What We Can Learn from our Grandmothers about Food and Dining
    2024/11/04

    Today we're going to be talking about what we can learn from our grandparents and great grandparents about food and dining; our grandmothers and our mother's past generations. I asked one of my daughters what she thinks of when she thinks of granny's food, and she said that the food is very solid and simple whenever we go to visit. It's meat and vegetables, and it's not complicated and difficult. I like that. I think we can learn so much from past generations about food and about how to cook.

    There are always special things that are passed down from our moms and grandmothers. In our case, it's things like homemade ice cream, which I'll give you the recipe for. There's a wonderful British fruitcake that my mom makes, a Christmas cake with the icing and all, and there are crunchies made with syrup. Good, hearty fare comes to mind.
