I’ll let you in on a little secret. I do not like to bake. More specifically, I don’t like to make desserts. I have this girlfriend–desserts are her jam. Completely. Whenever we go to her home, she has a full-on dessert bar. Picture in your mind a brunch-sized dessert buffet. But, at your girlfriend’s house….

the ‘I need that recipe!’,’bowl scraped clean’ Spicy Corn Dip!
I first tasted this dip on New Year’s eve three years ago. It was love at first bite. I would not only eat more than my fair share of the appetizer, but I had to have the recipe so I could make it for myself. whenever. I. wanted. Because, yes, it’s that good. Anytime I’m in doubt as…
Pin2Plate: Snowmageddon Edition!
Happy new year, friends! We have enjoyed a lengthy hiatus from thehungrykid, and are ready to jump back in feet first.

Grandma’s sweet-n-sour pickles
Just as with the delicious dill pickles from yesterday that you can find here, Grandma’s sweet-n-sour pickles are a summertime staple in our home. In fact, I cannot possibly consume a burger, grilled sausage or cracker with cheese without one of these crunchy pieces of sunshine on top. There is just something magical about the…

must-make (yes, really!) chicken meatballs
I know what you’re thinking. “There’s no such thing as a ‘must-make’ chicken meatball.” “They might be good for her family, but my kid–eat a chicken meatball? Yeah, right.” “Chicken meatballs are gummy and have no flavor, gross.” I know what you’re thinking–because I thought so too. But believe me, you’re wrong….
ice cream sandwich sparklers!
This will not come as a surprise to you–the Hungry Kid loves a little sparkle. The flashier, the better–as far as she is concerned, and this summertime treat certainly fits the bill. The mom in me–read practical–likes these treats because the cupcake liners & ‘handles’ keep little hands clean (or, cleaner), and the mini-size of…
the famous burrito blanket
Necessity is the mother of all invention, or so they say. That certainly is the case with this DIY–my Hungry Kid loves Mexican food. But throw a burrito her way–and forget about it. There’s no two ways about it, that tortilla is not staying rolled. I’ve tried toothpicks–“they’re too pokey.” I’ve tried quesadillas–“they don’t taste the same!”…

delicious guilt-free almond joy
Come about 9:45pm I hear their little voices calling to me. “Eat me!”, they say. Their collective cries beckon, their decibel increasing exponentially, depending on what’s got my ear.
