Family Foodies #18

Who doesn’t enjoy coming home on a cold winter evening to a warm bowl of homemade soup, stew or chili? Served with fresh biscuits, rolls or cornbread, this is a very practical (and delicious) way to stretch your grocery dollars!  O hope today’s show encourages you to dig out your soup pot and get a “cozy” dinner cooking today!

Work at Home Moms Talk Radio #211

S.K. Joun of Parents For Parents Magazine in my guest this week but I can tell you right now the conversation was far too short! I look forward to having her back.

Shannon Cherry, our Media & PR Resident Advisor pops in to share some of her great tidbits of savvy advice about landing those wonderful television appearances for great media exposure.

Also this week I’m giving you valuable insights on the all important process of choosing a good business name and domain name to represent what you offer to the world.  There are big mistakes made everyday as we jump too quickly to name our business projects and snap up domains without thinking things through.

When $$ is tight, and you can’t do much grocery shopping, you CAN still feed your family some healthy meals this week! Take a look through your ‘fridge and pantry like I did, and see what you’ve got!

Some of the recipes I mentioned (plus many more) you can find in my new e-book, Freezing It and Loving It,  some are on the Family Foodies blog.

It’s the Holiday Season! Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year celebrations present many opportunities for family gatherings and parties. From the neighborhood to church, school, and the work place, hor’deuvors are never more appropriate (and fun!) than this time of year! Unfortunately, the thought of preparing platters of scrumptious finger food intimidates many people, but it really doesn’t need to!

Sue and I discussed only the “tip of the iceberg” but the possibilities for these little delectables are endless! On the printable page below you’ll find a sampling of the recipes we talked about – from meatballs to fondues. And as I’ve said all along on Family Foodies, I personally like the end result without all the fuss, so my contributions are usually quite simple!

I hope this show inspires you to get creative in your gift giving this Christmas! My good friend Sue Davidson and I chatted about foodie (and other) gifts you can mix up in your kitchen to give to teachers, bus drivers, neighbors, etc. The ideas we shared are simple and inexpensive, and can involve your kids too! Many can be made up in big batches so you have plenty to share (and some to keep at home too!) Homemade gifts are best, as far as we’re concerned, and with a little creativity and presentation you’ll be proud to give.

Family Foodies #13

Well, today I was joined by my good friend Kelly McCausey. Kelly had a hankerin’ for Shepherd’s Pie, and asked me to teach her how to make one! So I shared the age-old recipe. We had fun chatting over the how-to’s as well as a few variations for this yummy old favorite. I can’t wait to see the picture of Kelly cooking her own, and to hear (from Sean) how it turned out!
