Welcome to FOODIES!

Why do adults get to have all the fun? All those newspaper reviews and food critics...what if us adolescents want to check out what's on our plates? So who's up for the FOODIES Challenge?

The FOODIES challenge was created by moi the very second I started this blog. (It is not, unfortunately, some nationwide sweep of kids submitting meals that I'm just trying to promote. It is most certainly not nationwide. I hope you didn't get your hopes up.) It's simple: Take a picture of your dinner (or lunch, or breakfast)--delicious or not--and upload it to the site. Then describe your meal a bit. Hopefully we'll all get delicious recipes and food ideas, plus we'll get to see what other people everywhere are eating! Here's a sample (I didn't actually eat this):

Black Bean Tacos with Vegetables

Meal: Dinner
Who made it: Me
Tastyness: 8/10
Healthyness: 9/10
Comments: These tacos were very good. Blah blah blah...
(try to include a recipe if you liked the meal)

Does your lack of adequate technology prevent you from posting pictures? That's okay. Just describe the meal in depth, or get a picture from Google.

So are you ready?

Sincerely,
MS. FOODIE

My Delicious Meal: July 2, 2013

Ravioli with Tomato-Basil Sauce 
Swiss-Chard Stuffed Tomatoes


Meal: Dinner
Who made it: Me
Tastyness: 9/10
Healthyness: 9/10
Comments: I made this deliciousness all by myself! It was extremely healthy, but the fatty, cheesy ravioli lost a point. Now I sound like some kind of health nut. Oh, well. The Swiss-chard stuffed tomatoes were my favorite. I LOVE Swiss chard. I've included the recipe, which is from Wilson Farms (I didn't use the pancetta):

Swiss Chard Stuffed Tomatoes
IngredientsProcedure
6 medium firm, ripe tomatoes
1 bunch Swiss Chard, chopped
¼ cup pancetta, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
¾ cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon fresh savory, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400°.
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook until golden brown. Pour out three-fourths of the fat. Add garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Add Swiss chard and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Mix chard, herbs, and bread crumbs together and adjust seasoning. Cut tomatoes in half and lightly squeeze out seeds and juice. Place in a baking dish. Evenly distribute filling. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Wilson Farms, where I got this recipe, has a lot of other recipes using all kinds of weird ingredients. Try going to the site: http://www.wilsonfarm.com/recipes.html
