Serves 6 When we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas, one particular part interested us at the end—the part where the Whos eat ROAST BEAST! We wondered what a roast beast might taste like, so we decided to make one ourselves. The biggest beast we could roast was a...
HALUPKI CASSEROLE
Serves 6 Our great grandfather’s family is from a country called Hungary. When they get together, they must be REALLY hungry because they bring dozens of stuffed cabbages they call halupkis. The whole family gobbles them up like they’re starving, leaving only crumbs...
SHEPHERD’S PIE
Serves 6-8 Shepherd’s Pie is a really famous dish that is made in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. It’s in layers, just like lasagna; but, instead of pasta, there’s a mash on top! In this recipe, we build a base of super-healthy meat from the organs of...
SPAGHETTI WITH MEATBALLS
Serves 6 Did you get a little sad when you decided that you wouldn’t be eating spaghetti anymore? We did, too. Stacy’s grandmother is from Italy and her whole family loves spaghetti. They even call the sauce “gravy” because they like to put it on almost everything. We...
BEEF & BROCCOLI
Serves 4-6 We LOVED to order Chinese takeout until we found out that there is a lot of wheat in the soy sauce. How silly is it to have wheat in your soy sauce? Rather than give up on eating Chinese food, we started making our own. This beef and broccoli is a little...
PINEAPPLE CURRY
Serves 6 When someone says “curry,” what they mean is tasty spices mixed into a sauce with meat and veggies. This is a curry based on what they make in a country called Thailand, where coconut milk is used in curries. Often Thai curries are very spicy, but in this...
CURRIED MUSSELS, NOT MUSCLES
Serves 6 Mussels are not like the muscles in your body that make you strong. They’re little creatures inside black shells that cling to rocks in the ocean. When you get them from the store, they are still alive (be careful and use gentle hands)! When you prepare them...
LEMON DILL SALMON
Some kids think that they don’t like to eat fish. We understand why: we’ve had fish we didn’t like before, too. But if you try it when it’s been cooked just right, you won’t be able to resist it! Plus, salmon is super-good for you–it helps your entire body get into...
PORK ROAST WITH SQUISHY SQUASHY APPLES
Serves 6 The best thing about cooking a pork roast this way is that the juices from the pork ooze out and flavor the apples, making squashy apples you just won’t be able to get enough of! The apples become salty and squishy like a pork-flavored applesauce. Delicious!...
PULLED PORK
Serves 2 people per pound When people think barbecue, they usually think pulled pork. It sounds hard to do, though; most people think they can’t cook it at home. Well, as one of our favorite foods we wanted to figure out how to do it at home. And so we did, with just...
