Pot of beans over brown rice

Tuna Melts on whole wheat and

Loaded grilled cheese.....yummy

I read Simply Recipes, Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen, Stephanie's Kitchen and Ezra Pound Cake. I have recently started reading Baking Bites and Big Red Kitchen....

Can't stand her "super simple" comment that she makes 1000's of time in her episodes. She has no idea how stupid she sounds.

I probably wont check it out, even though I cant stand her. The way she talks and her use of grammer drive me crazy. I'm not an idiot and sometimes she makes the viewer think that they don't have one ounce of intelligence in their brain.I really dont't like her style of cooking. She also doesn't care what she puts her name on---any product, etc...She probably loves the idea of this book. Probably thinks it puts her in the same category as Martha (which she never will be). Watch her hour long talk show and after 5 minutes you will have a migraine.

I mix a can of cream of mushroom into my mac and cheese. It seems to add a little extra creamy goodness. I don't feel bad using it..

Fresh turkey on fresh sourdough...now add some basil aioli, avocado, tomato, bacon (I prefer applewood smoked bacon), maybe some baby spinach or arugula. Slice and enjoy........

I forgot about For the love of cooking....I made her pot roast and even my kid loved it....

I make a version of tomato & zucchini gratin. I slice my zucchini & tomatos about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange them in a pie pan. Drizzle olive oil over top then sprinkle sea salt and pepper. Then top with freshly grated parmesan cheese (lots of cheese). Drizzle a little more oil. Then bake till golden.....so yummy......

Cedar plank salmon, grilled/marinated zucchini, and not sure what else. I am hoping to do some grilled peaches.

I think Aaron did a great job. This was his first show and I loved how he focused on cooking with your kids. Kids love chicken tender and tortilla chips. What a good idea adding it to a salad and making good food fun. If I were to try this recipe for my son I might try cooking them in the oven instead of frying. I am making his fries for dinner this week....yummy....

Everyone should give him a chance. He is humble guy trying something new. Let him get his "feet wet" and see what happens. He might surprise you.....Frankly I am tired of Emeril, Ina, Paula, and Rachel Rey....New blood and ideas are great.....go Aaron!!!!!!!!!
