Start with the crust. There are simple recipes for crusts in your favorite cookbook that kids can easily do, but if that seems like too much, grab a ready-made...

Ask any parent and they're sure to agree: feeding kids can be a nightmare. It's hard to find a balance between foods that are healthy and foods that they actually like. If you're lucky, your child will have a number of favorite foods and refuse to eat anything else. Each meal is a struggle, and more often than not, it ends up in a tantrum or a food fight (sometimes both). So just imagine the trouble of planning an entire party, where the guests are all growing children with their own moods and preferences. Well, here's the good news: it doesn't have to be all that troublesome. With careful planning and a bit of creativity, you can serve healthy Filipino food that your kids are sure to love. Here...

Hunting the Elusive Morel Mushroom Morel mushrooms are among the most prized edible wild mushrooms in the world. Resembling a sponge on a stick, morels don't look like ordinary mushrooms- or taste like ordinary mushrooms. Morels have a rich, creamy flavor that is deliciously earthy, nutty, steak-like- and it's this awesome taste that makes the morel mushroom No.1 with mushroom lovers. It's been said that "there is something almost cruelly tantalizing about morels. No other mushroom in the world, save perhaps the white truffle of northern Italy, offers quite the degree of flavor and fragrance of a fresh morel." The taste of morels is exquisite and indeed addictive. The unique flavor of the morel...

He must be a planner, a time conservationist, and posses the ability and desire to always win. His presentation has to be polished, his words impeccable. WRONG! A real salesman has the innate ability to make people like him and listen to his ideas. You...

Louisiana Cajun cuisine originated with a group of French residents of Nova Scotia, who were expelled by the British in 1755. They eventually, after years of a nomadic existence, settled in the Southern Louisiana swamplands.

Chicken Alfredo can be made either from scratch, or from a can. The canned version is easier than from scratch, which allows more time to make side dishes and other mealtime delights, but it is not nearly as delicious as alfredo made from scratch. Both methods are included in this recipe. A white sauce is used over chicken and noodles for the main alfredo dish. The flavour is very rich and cheesy. Almost any vegetable can be served without harming the flavour, or seeming out of place. Use this versatility to your advantage. Don't if you have all the fixings for a great side dish, or are planning to attend a potluck, making alfredo as a main dish is a near-guarantee of a good meal! Alfredo is just as...

I have been involved with crafts shows for a long time, and have been on both sides of the table... as a vendor and as a customer.. Here is a list of the top ten "money losing" tricks.: 1) Lay out your crafts on a table without any thought of display, look grumpy, set up your chair behind the table and read a book. Better yet, don't even pay attention to your potential customers. 2) Eat a large onion laden cheese burger, that is bigger than you mouth, have it loaded with ketchup and mustard, and let everyone know you are eating it!, then try and explain your crafts while people are backing away from you! (why do they always sell cheese burgers at craft shows???) 3) Dress like you just rolled out...

When a cook, new to Chinese cooking, wants to attempt Chinese cooking, more often then not, he or she may be stunted with the wide variety of ingredients required. For starters, here are the basic ingredients for a Chinese pantry startup. 1. Vegetable Oil Vegetable oil (such as corn oil, soybean oil or peanut oil) is the most basic ingredient in Chinese cooking and often used because of it's higher smoking point (441° to 450°F) as compared to olive oil (about 375°F). The higher the smoke point, the better suited the oil is for frying, reason being, if the oil is heated to the point that its smoke point is exceeded, it starts to emit smoke and acrid odors and this may transfer an unpleasant...

Throughout centuries, people have searched for a proverbial Fountain of Youth, a fountain whose water can actually slow down the aging process. From Juan Ponce de León to the modern day seeker, the search for the Fountain of Youth, much like the fountain itself, springs eternal. While this fountain's location has proven elusive, it's believed to be somewhere near Florida, causing hopeful searchers to leave no Cadillac unturned: as the Atlantic winds blow onto the shores, the sounds of "here fountain fountain fountain" are often heard from afar. The reason for this extensive hunt is simple: when it comes to life, everyone hopes to find an extension cord. Though the Fountain of Youth hasn't...

Several years ago, I worked for a company that had a corporate office in Belgium, and some Belgian employees came and visited our local office on a business trip. As I was chatting with one of them, the subject of fondue came up. I offhandedly mentioned this favorite fondue restaurant of mine, and raved about the delicious chocolate fondue dessert. Across his face came a look of incredulous horror. He had the same expression I must have had when I saw spam sushi in Hawaii for the first time. For him, the only proper fondue was cheese fondue, and a chocolate fondue was just a wrong, unnatural thing. Any notions of Americans being a savage, uncultured and decadent people must have been confirmed in...

My kids have both always loved pizza. We discovered some great easy pizza recipes over the years. It can get very costly to keep ordering pizza from the local take out places. So, we began making our own pizzas and today, 20 years later, my kids still love the homemade pizza over the take out pizza. There are several ideas for crusts. We have used bagels as the crust. We've used large bagels, small bagels, onion bagels, jalapeno bagels, cheese bagels and even egg bagels. We cut them in half, add sauce, add cheese and then add any toppings we want. We have also used english muffins for the crust of the pizza. We like the pizza crunchy, so we always toast the english muffins before adding the sauce...

Italy is one of the oldest countries in the world, and thanks to the geographical boundaries of the Mediterranean Sea and the Alps it has remained largely unchanged throughout history.

The spread of Italian food diversity began after the fall of the Roman Empire when individual city states began to uphold separate identities and traditions. Each region began to display its own unique way of cooking, right down to the formation of a meatball to the characteristic cheeses and wine produced in a...
