Gotta Feed The Kid™ - You Keep Seeing This - I know!

Gotta Feed The Kid™ 

is a little project I am working on - and I admit I am moving pretty slow. I did secure the URL and I have bounced the idea around with a few "people" to enthusiastic responses but like I said I am moving pretty slow. 

You might have noticed me mentioning it a lot on my FaceBook Page - that is about as far as I have come with this and I am hoping to kick start it a little more.

Today was a simple lunch of pulled pork I made in my Char-Broil Big Easy . Trouble free cooking. 

I made a simple yellow mustard with agave, lemon juice and white vinegar "bbq sauce" to go with these sandwiches. Delicious.

One of the most popular and frequent dishes is what we call "Food Truck Chicken" and this is based off this little to go platter that my son likes to get just outside his school from a Halal Food Truck. There is a Mosque just up the block so this food truck is strategically placed.

My son is also my food tester so he gets to eat a lot of pretty food too.

I am hoping to find the time to commit to this project with all the attention it deserves and I hope that by posting this publicly I will - wish me luck.

A Belly Full of Airwaves

For now you can listen to my mistake ridden first run. I hope it teases you enough to tune in and call in.

Gotta Feed The Kid™

Many of you have probably seen me make this statement - Gotta Feed The Kid™ and then I post what I fed him that day - well there is a reason behind it and it is a multi-layered and complicated little entity. Gotta Feed The Kid™ is a domain name that I own that I have yet to start putting content into it mostly because I am a little too busy to devote the time necessary but this is the year I will and once I do - stand back. I am excited to share with you all the wonderful meals I prepare for my son that you could just as easily prepare for your families as well. While my son has been eating all kinds of unusual things his entire life he is just as much a fan of the simple things so I try and mix it up a bit to not only keep him excited about food but also not to take him so far out of the box that he becomes jaded.

We eat a lot of the same things for the most part as well - all I do is change up the preparation of the side dish and its a "tried and true" with a twist. This Chicken Madras is something I would make often as we are big fans of the Indian and West Indian flavors.

Eggs, we typically make Sunday brunch and its usually either eggs or pancakes or waffles or all three.

Southwestern food from my native New Mexico is always on the menu in some form or another. This is a stacked enchilada that just also happens to have eggs - you will find out soon enough that we like eggs. So I hope to have the website up soon and I hope to see you all there and believe it or not I will be posting recipes so you can recreate the dishes and share them with your families. I am psyched.
