Delicious dinner! I've been on a quest to find toddler-friendly dinner ideas that the whole family would enjoy since my firstborn was a baby. I was tired of having to make her food separately or having to use a food processor for her to be able to enjoy the foods we ate. So I have a few up my sleeve that we have been using for years and this is one of them.

My youngest, now sixteen months old, went through the "fussy eater stage" recently, but this white bean and chicken stew passed her test. I can now say this is a toddler-approved recipe! It has small pieces that are soft to chew and it is tasty, but it's just enough for every member of the family to enjoy it.

It's a great way to use leftover or store-bought rotisserie chicken, but you can also use uncooked cubed chicken breast. Just make sure to brown it in a bit of oil before starting the recipe.

Thin Crust PizzaOnce a month seems too infrequent to answer questions, so starting with this post, I'm going to reply twice a month to cut down on the wait time for a response. That said, don't hesitate to pepper me with more questions!

@MeeganLora and I have been tweeting back and forth since her initial question about pizza.

Q: How long to let pizza dough rise?

Kemp: I asked how long she'd been letting it rise ("...covered in the oven, off, for 1 hour. Sometimes it rises, sometimes, not") and what kind of yeast she used ("active dry").

Kemps-kitchen215When it comes to yeast doughs, some bakers believe in proofing, or testing the efficacy of the yeast, and others don't. If your liquid is too hot--you might not have a thermometer to test the water--you can kill the yeast. And sometimes, believe it or not, you can do everything right, and the yeast just doesn't work. It's a rare occurrence, but I know of cases when it's happened.

So I asked @MeeganLora for a photocopy of

Frozen Chocolate BananasCelebrate the return of our favorite dysfunctional television family with bananas, ice cream sandwiches, and Cornballers

Ingredients:
One hardworking single father and his awkward teenage son; a lazy shopaholic sister, her never-nude psychiatrist-turned-actor husband, and their movie-executive teenage daughter; a Segway-riding failed-magician older brother; a one-handed younger brother and his vertigo-prone older girlfriend; an alcoholic family matriarch, her fugitive husband, and his identical twin brother

Yield:
A meal that's as dysfunctional as the Bluth family

That morning sweat on your brow can only mean one thing -- it's time for summer! Break out the white pants and sunscreen before kicking back by the beach (or by your fire escape if you're like us here in NYC). While you're at it, why not mix up a batch (or two) of this Gin Lemonade Punch. It's incredibly refreshing and not a tad too sweet. Cheers!

To get serious about your cheeseburgers, don't simply slap a slice of cheese on top. We've found that mixing shredded or crumbled cheese directly into the raw beef before forming the patties adds more flavor.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS
Mixing cheese directly into the raw beef before forming patties guaranteed cheesy flavor in every bite. Dimpling the patties before throwing them on the grill prevented domed, dry-edged burgers.

Whatever you do, don't press on the burgers while they're on the grill -- they'll release their juice and end up dry and crumbly. For those who like their burgers well done, poking a hole in the center of the patty before cooking helps the burger cook through without becoming dry. In addition to serving burgers with the usual accompaniments of buns, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, consider some more unusual toppings such as mango salsa, guacamole, or flavored mayonnaise.
