Foodie Notes:
I was over at a friend’s house for lunch last Sunday. She had served her kids shepherd’s pie. For some reason, I have never actually seen anyone eat shepherd’s pie before (?!) Her kids enjoyed it and she mentioned that it was easy to make, so I want to know how to make it. While I’m waiting to get her recipe to try out on my kiddos, I found a few other back-up ones from the Food Network (Rachel Ray’s 30 Minute Shepherd’s Pie); Simply Recipes Easy Shepherd’s Pie and The Family Kitchen’s “Shepherd’s Pie”. The latter one looks the most like what my friend served, because it has cheese as an ingredient – unlike the other two.
Chili, a cold-weather food, has been very popular this week. Babble Food lists their Best Ever Recipes and The Food Network showcases Paula Deen’s Five Alarm Chili in the Biscuit Bowl. Of course, I’m partial to my easy personal recipe…
New York City Parenting:
There are a lot of things to do in the city this weekend. CBS New York- Best of Kids, Time Out New York Kids, New York Family, and Macaroni Kid all have great suggestions.
One event worth special note:
New York Family Camp Fair: There are two camp fairs for parents with kids ages 3 – 15 that are being held this weekend. If you are looking for day or sleepaway camps, learn the full details at nyfamilycamps.com.
