Cook Time with Remmi. Hi 918moms! Sorry I missed my blog last week-Cook Time with Remmi events have kept me really busy! FIRST-CONGRATULATIIONS TO JESSICA STONE FOR WINNING LAST WEEKS DRAWING FOR POSTING ON THE FORUM. SHE HAS WON A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF FRANKOMA POTTERY. I get to go to Kansas City this week to do an interview with Radio Disney-can’t wait! Also we are filming with the head chef at Trezzo Mare there-my first culinary lesson. We are also going to film at a dairy farm called Shatto-it is going to be a fun week. Ok-let’s get cooking!! This weeks recipe is really healthy and it is a great way for your kids to start liking beans. Here is one of my favorites!
LINGUINE WITH WHITE BEAN PEPPER SAUCE

1 Lb linguine

1 large can of tomatoes(diced)
3 Bell Peppers-1 green-1red-1 orange) (cut in 1″ pieces)

Fix linguine according to the directions. Serve as individual portions in medium size bowls. This recipe will give you 6 portions. (lunch the next day!)
REMMI RATING…….4 1/2! COST PER SERVING IS $1.29.
Ok-it’s restaurant week!! Went to the new Gengis Kahn restaurant on Cherry Street. The kids will have fun going there but it is a little confusing-we went when it was busy-so we didn’t have much time to make decisions. If you have not been there-here is how it works. They give you a small bowl to select what you want in your dish. There are 3 stations you have to make a decision. Meat or fish, vegetables, and sauces. There is a lot to choose from so it was hard to make a decision. You then give them your bowl of ingredients and then you make the final decision-noodles or rice and there are a couple of kinds each. They then fix your dish by stir frying. The kids portion is $4.99.
REMMI RATING…..3 1/2.
Have a great week 918moms! If you have any thoughts about a “Food Blog for Kids-check out this weeks forum for a chance to win this weeks prize givewaway for a pair of Toms Shoes from Whole Foods!!
