Well, so much for my brain food ideas for my kids. Instead of cooking up a storm, I ended up buying a whole bunch of bananas which I’m told is one of the best sources of brain food .

#1. Egg salad or deviled eggs. How do you prepare?
I’m hearing deviled eggs mentioned quite a bit lately in blogs. Is this the season for deviled eggs?

I’m really tempted to hard-boil a few eggs, scoop out the yolks, add a few sprinkles of paprika, salt and pepper, mash them with some mayo and stuff them back into the egg white.

#2. French fries. Do you make homemade or frozen?
I’m kinda torn. Of course, homemade is healthier but at the same time, I can’t resist how much easier frozen is. So it depends if I’m in a time crunch .

#3. Gravy. What do you use – homemade, jar, can or from a package?
Usually homemade except for pasta sauce which is more convenient from a jar since I make pasta very often.

#4. Share a recipe for a hot (temperature, not spice) dish.
Claypot Tofu with Mushroom and Shrimp is a favorite in our household. It’s great for school days when everyone’s in a rush and we sometimes don’t get to sit down together to eat.

The claypot keeps the dish warm for quite some time without needing to reheat, so it really works out great for us.

Four Foods on Friday is fun to play. It’s as easy as answering four questions about food. There are no right or wrong answers and my favorite part is that I get new food ideas each week from the other FFOF players.
