Ruth asks…
Where can I watch Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger?
Not the episode clips or interviews, FULL EPISODES only. I already tried youtube, google videos, and food network online.
Michelle answers:
Food network on your tv?
Helen asks…
Going to the grocery store on a budget?
I love Food Network and their recipees but quite frankly, most of recipes cost you about $30.00 or more to make. This adds up to roughly $150.00 (only if you count on left-overs for 2 nights out of the week) and doesn’t even include you non-food items. For the MANY who are on budgets…what recipes do you have that are frugel in the ingredient department?
Thank you for any suggestions!!
Michelle answers:
I love Food Network too!
Best idea, get a cookbook of some of your favorite chefs on FN, or just go to their website. The best way to budget when shopping is not to buy cheap stuff. The way to do it is to select recipes that go together.
For example, if you do one chicken, one beef, and one fish meal each week…
1. Salmon filet with pineapple and rice
2. Spicy chicken with a pineapple salsa (pineapple, green peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and whatever else sounds good to you). Spice up the chicken with chili powder, black pepper, and some garlic. It will be delicious.
3. Burrito night! Brown some ground beef, use your left over rice from the first recipe, throw in the cilantro, lime juice, green peppers and garnish with a little sour cream and cheese… You can wrap all of it up in a tortilla and you haven’t cost yourself a fortune.
Total Shopping List –
Salmon
Chicken
Beef
Cilantro
Green Pepper
Lime
Pineapple
Tortillas
Rice
Sour Cream
Cheese
Easy to do it for under $50 a week. But like I said before, just look for recipes that use a lot of the same ingredients.
Good Luck!
Sharon asks…
How many vegetarians are there in the United States?
I would like to know the population of vegetarians in the United States because I think the Food Network really needs a vegetarian cooking show because as a vegetarian and a huge fan of Food Network I think it would be brilliant.
Michelle answers:
It’s estimated that 1% of the US population is vegan and 2.5% are vegetarian. This number has increased as the population has increased.
By this (I think) reasonable and even low estimate, with the current population of the US at 300 million, that would mean 7 and 1/2 million vegetarians and around 3 million vegans.
Cool! That is a significant minority. Plenty to warrant a veggie cooking show on Food Network.
Oh, and let me recommend a veggie cooking show that already exists: The Post Punk Kitchen (www.theppk.com)
They have great cookbooks and an awesome website with forums and everything!
David asks…
how do people make soup like butternut squash soup, before food processors were invented?
i am watching Ina on food network and she is pureeing everything. so what did people do before the invention of food processors.
Michelle answers:
Mashers didn’t work well. They did use food mills, and large mortars.
Food mill

They’ve been using mortars for hundreds of years and food mills for at least 200 years.
