Hi, Kristen again, Tomorrow is the 40th annual Earth Day!! It’s the time of year when we all refocus on learning how to live more green and sustainably all year long. My sister, Kim and I volunteered for an Earth Day event at a local park cleaning up all sorts of weird things that people had left behind. Kim, my twin is on the left and I'm on the right Being slightly obsessed with food (and not always in the mood to clean up trash) I came up with a top 5 list of tips to make your earth day a green one in the kitchen. ...

Okay, I admit it. I am in love with those 10 for $10 deals at the supermarket. I’ve found myself saying on more than one occasion, “I’m sure I’ll need 10 cans of olives sometime or another.”I used to think my family was unnecessarily strategic for having such a well-stocked pantry (Who can think ahead like that?)…until I moved to college and realized the benefits. Since then, I’ve followed in my family’s footsteps and prided myself on having enough food for when I’m feeling creative in the kitchen. When ...

Have you been hearing buzzwords like social utility, “Twittering” and "Friending" just about everywhere these days?  It seems like interest in online communities is exploding recently.  I just read someplace that the highest growing segment of new Facebook users is women over forty.  Betty Crocker has gone online, too.  I like to imagine that Betty has a fancy laptop and pda-phone that matches her famous red cardigan and that she uses wi-fi in cute coffee shops. As I write this, Betty Crocker’s Facebook Fan Page has 29,512 fans.  In case you don’t know, Facebook is a website that con...

As a cooking enthusiast, I love trying new recipes. I like to use recipes from cookbooks, magazines, and from my friends. I search the internet looking for great new recipe ideas. I have files of recipes ideas, both at home and at work. When it comes to the holidays however, I have found that our family really doesn't want to try "new" recipes.   When I first met Jack, his mother aske...

Despite the cold temps, I haven't been watching too much TV these days, mostly because there's nothing on except reality shows and reruns. Having heard so many good things about LOST I decided see what all the fuss was about. I hadn't seen a single episode so I rented the first two DVDs hoping to catch up. I was immediately hooked. After renting the first six discs I discovered that all the episodes are available on ...

No word yet as to if there are any cookies left at the Courage Center. I’m told we wound up donating approximately 75 tins and 225 bags brimming with homemade goodies. That’s a heck of a lot of cookies.As I mentioned on ...

Yes Danny N. – I do have a "dream job". Developing thousands of recipes every year for cookbooks and magazines is a lot of work but it is a lot of fun too. After I taste them in our test kitchens and decide they are delicious enough to publish, I type them in the Betty Crocker Kitchens style. For example, when I want to use garlic, I would type: 1 clove garlic vs. 1 garlic clove.  Both are correct but we editors choose one way to write every ingredient and every technique in order to keep our style consistent....

In my job it’s important to keep up with food trends. There are lots of ways to do this including watching the food network shows, reading recipe magazines and food sections in newspapers, dining at restaurants to see what the chefs are up to and of course, walking up and down the supermarket isles to see what's new on their shelves.Our readers tell us that they want traditional recipes with a new twist, and so I use trend information to update favorite recipes. This week in the Test Kitchens, we are working on recipes that use chicken and ground beef. How does Raspberry Chipotle Chicken Salad so...
