Matt Wendel’s Stacked Cheese Enchiladas

It’s Tex-Mex Thursday on America’s Table, with a kid-pleasing breakfast recipe from our favorite Texas chef, Matt Wendel. Cheese enchiladas with a yummy fried egg oozing deliciously all over the melty goodness and seasoned with salsa and guac – what could be better? This definitely falls into the ‘breakfast for dinner’ category also, and is a very fast and filling meal. Matt writes: These stacked enchiladas make a very quick and simple dinner that I would sometimes serve the President […]

Colored Eggs Made with Natural Dyes

I’ve always wanted to dye eggs using natural foods instead of the little colored pellets from the drugstore that produce bright, BRIGHT Easter eggs. After consulting several websites and books about the best foods to use and how exactly to dye eggs using beets or kale or onion skins (the online instructions for this are pretty vague), I found that a lot of what was suggested didn’t work at all, or it took so long that I would never do […]

I added fresh spinach to sneak in a green veg, and the lemon juice brightens the flavor of the broth – but don’t forget the […]

Gluten Free Chocolate Drop Cookie Kebabs

This kids’ dessert is fun, healthy, and easy. The gluten-free little chocolate drops are my all-time favorite cookie, and so I never make them. (No self control around these things, but I make an exception to share this recipe with you!) It’s my mom’s recipe, though we never knew anything about ‘gluten free’ when I was a kid, we just liked the soft chocolate taste and texture.  And this is not just a kids’ cookie; they’re great with an afternoon […]
