For me it was the best use of them so far, as I'm not a big fan of them, but hate to see them go to waste.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about the experienced part (thank you though!) but I find that the easiest way to get my kid to eat healthy is by making almost everything we eat from scratch and limiting her control of her food. No, maybe I should put it as building some empowerment and choice into her diet but with good options, albeit limited. Like, most of the year we leave fresh fruit on the counter for her to self administer (eating it at the table that is). Cherries, blueberries, pretty much any berry thing disappears rapidly. If she is having one of those days of being particularly finnicky about food, fresh or even dried fruit, maybe some frozen peas and she seems satisfied. Also, no extra "different dinner" for kids as a general rule in our house. She doesn't have to eat everything on her plate, but that's all there is for dinner. On dessert nights, it is fresh and homemeade generally. Let me tell you, it is SOOOO satisfying to have witnessed her eating some hydrogenated cookie from Costco or other establishment and having her face contort a bit and saying "daddy, I want one of our cookies at home."<BR/><BR/>Damn, did I just write all that?<BR/>Hope it helps answer the question.Monkey Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108118712307836658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32677968.post-69234480054044450872007-06-22T21:17:00.000-07:002007-06-22T21:17:00.000-07:00This looks soooo good...and you said the magic wor...This looks soooo good...and you said the magic words--bacon fat. My favorite ingredient in any vegetarian dish! I recently had a kick ass veggie hash at a local restaurant, and I think it had some beet greens and a little vinegar (maybe apple cider or balsamic, no clue!) that worked really well with the sweet veggies and the rich, salty sunnyside up egg. Could be a fun experiment for next time.<BR/>Question for you: as an experienced father, is it hard to get your kids to eat healthy?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786108860323286482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32677968.post-74297853772824484832007-06-22T09:09:00.000-07:002007-06-22T09:09:00.000-07:00thanks for the linkage!

I'm a sucker for these red-flannel hashes. I love to stick a roasted poblano in it, then slide a runny egg on top!

My sis forwarded the recipe for Sourdough english muffins from what was then the bakingsheet blog, now <A HREF="http://bakingbites.com/" REL="nofollow">baking bites</A>. Anyway, here is the <A HREF="http://bakingbites.com/2005/12/cooking-school-sourdough-english-muffins/" REL="nofollow">link</A> for the recipe that I more or less use, only I double the starter, and use milk in place of water. Both of which equal hella more flavor.Monkey Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108118712307836658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32677968.post-27677463241785973382007-06-20T19:45:00.000-07:002007-06-20T19:45:00.000-07:00ok, my hubby was on the 'puter and i didn't realiz...ok, my hubby was on the 'puter and i didn't realize i was bloggin under his name!! it was me, stacieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278086916072417123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32677968.post-13042405085560556362007-06-20T19:36:00.000-07:002007-06-20T19:36:00.000-07:00yum yum yummy yummy yum! can I have your english m...yum yum yummy yummy yum! can I have your english muffin recipe... or is it top secret... saw Alton Brown make 'em and thought of you bartering them at the market!! we want more pics of the babe...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278086916072417123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32677968.post-92146338069943179502007-06-20T11:58:00.000-07:002007-06-20T11:58:00.000-07:00K&S: Indeed!

But having a specific combo of great flavors is worth capturing. For me, it was of course the freshness that tasted so damn good, but the bell pepper/mushroom combo seems to be what really made it all come together and hit the whole mouth. Can't wait to see what you toss together.<BR/><BR/>Chile: So does that make that an entirely whole wheat loaf? Or do you mean the Dakota is "heavy" because of how it tastes? Anyway, sounds killer, and sure, I'll talk to you more about the trip to Ory-gun.Monkey Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108118712307836658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32677968.post-41180101778404383482007-06-19T21:37:00.000-07:002007-06-19T21:37:00.000-07:00Everything came together when you used the bacon g...Everything came together when you used the bacon grease. I have been making something similar for years. I use leftover Corned Beef and call it Red Flannel Hash. <BR/> A friend brought me some "Dakota Maid" bread flour from North Dakota. It is some heavy stuff. I mixed it with some whole wheat flour(Full Belly) and made some jalapeno sourdough cheese bread. Yum.<BR/> I am going to Oregon this summer. You want me to bring you back some flour from "Bobs Red Mill" http://www.bobsredmill.com/<BR/> Peace, PaulChilebrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321501332367002893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32677968.post-56547245770697594722007-06-19T17:37:00.000-07:002007-06-19T17:37:00.000-07:00You just gave me a whole new way to think about ve...You just gave me a whole new way to think about vegetables.
