Wallet Friendly Weeknight Meals

Episode | From: Good Deal with Dave Lieberman

A little planning ahead can make all the difference when watching your weekly budget. Dave discusses the pit-falls of coming home from work and having take-out because there is nothing to eat or cook with. He solves this dilemma by cooking several dishes on the weekend and saving them in the fridge and freezer for the mid-week crunch. He'll show you three one-pot main courses and a salad that can be prepped ahead leaving only one or two additional purchases to round out each meal. Recipes include: Boston Lettuce Salad with Avocado Lime Dressing, Moroccan Chickpea Stew, Braised Shoulder Lamb Chops with Kale and Beans and Red Wine Pot Roast.

Sunday Dinner

Episode | From: Low Carb and Lovin' It

Chef George Stella cooks up a low carb feast that the whole family can enjoy. He makes a baked ham that’s brushed with a maple bourbon glaze; an eggplant, yellow squash and tomato casino; low carb zucchini muffins that double as both dessert and dinner muffins; and finally, his version of strawberry shortcake served in martini glasses. Chilled, straight up, with mint. Top 5 Tips 1. All hard alcohol has zero carbs (beside spiced rums or creamy liqueurs), and can add a lot of flavor to a dish. 2. Sugar substitute can be used for more than just your baked goods: Mix it with some liquid (water or alcohol) to create a "glaze" that has zero carbohydrates. 3. Parmesan is a great low carb substitute for breading. It browns nicely and adds great flavor to any dish, particularly veggies. 4. Yeast needs to be avoided on low carb diets. Try using eggs, heavy cream (preferably low carb) and baking soda as natural leaveners when baking. 5. Berries are a great, lower sugar fruit, but can sometimes be a bit tart. Add sugar substitute to berries, and then toss, just like you would with regular sugar, to enhance their natural sweetness.

Small Dinner Party

Episode | From: How to Boil Water

Jack wants to have an intimate dinner party and asks Frederic for some recipes that won't keep her chained to the stove. Jack learns the recipes for Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Creamed Corn. Episode Guide Below you’ll find a helpful episode guide for cooking along with Frederic and Jack, as well as tips and recipe rescues. Equipment List: Broiler pan Aluminum foil Tongs Chef’s knife Cutting board Dry measuring cups Medium skillet with lid Liquid measuring cup Measuring spoons Instant-read thermometer Wooden spoon Carving knife Pepper mill Medium bowl Tips: Broiling: Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method where the food is placed directly under and very close to the radiant heat source above it. The food cooks more quickly since it is so close to the heat source. You can adjust the racks in your oven to position them 3 – 4 inches from the broiler. Watch foods carefully while broiling; the food is so close to the heat that it can easily start to burn. Dry rubs: A dry rub can be made from a combination of any of your favorite spices and dried herbs. Dry rubs act like marinades in that they flavor the food, but they don’t require any time to marinate since the rub sticks to the food. Therefore, they are a quick solution to enhancing the flavor of different meats. Selecting corn: Choose corn with bright green, snugly fitting husks, and golden silk. Stems should be green and moist, not woody. Kernels should look plump and milky, come all the way to the ear’s tip, and the rows should be tightly spaced. Avoid ears with blackened, opened and tattered husks, and those with black silks. Try to purchase corn that has just been picked. Corn is best cooked and served on the day it is bought, but if you must store it, keep it in the refrigerator with the husks on. The peak season for fresh corn is May through September. Recipe Rescues: The exterior of the pork is burned – Slice off the burnt areas, and then carve as usual. The pork is too dried out – Add a little broth or other cooking liquid to the pan with the pork, cover it with a lid or foil, and then let it steam to re-moisten the interior. Corn is unripe – You can still cook with it, but add a little sugar during cooking to make up for the lack of natural sugar. Creamed corn is not thick enough – Make a slurry out of cornstarch and cold water, and then add 1 – 2 tablespoons of it to the corn mixture. Stir to evenly incorporate the slurry, and continue cooking for several minutes to get rid of the starchy taste. Creamed corn is too salty – Add more cream, and more corn if you have it.

Low Carb Party

Episode | From: Low Carb and Lovin' It

Chef George Stella invites his family and friends over for a dinner party that no one would ever suspect was low carb! He starts off the meal with one of his personal favorites – teriyaki sesame chicken skewers served outside a hollowed out melon half filled with melon balls. Next he prepares fresh Key West crab cakes (without using breadcrumbs) and a mustard dipping sauce; grilled Jamaican jerk pork loin cooked to perfection with a light summer squash salsa; and a healthy dessert –a gratin of fresh berries with a little sour cream. No sooner do the guests arrive than they all dig in to taste the fruits of George’s creations. Top 5 Tips 1. Watch out for mayonnaise that is labeled "light," as it may contain more sugar than regular, full-fat mayo. 2. When cooking with crab, splurge for the real thing. Many imitation crabmeats contain added sugars. 3. Baking powder, along with eggs, will act as a binder in place of the usual carb-heavy breadcrumbs. 4. Pork is an excellent carb-conscious option. It is low in fat, has zero carbs, and usually costs less than beef. 5. Cantaloupe is a good fruit choice for the low carb dieter. Contrary to popular belief, George says that many fruits are acceptable on a low carb diet, but limit your intake.

Rock the Block

Episode | From: Extreme Chef

It is not an average day in a Newhall, Calif. neighborhood when three chefs join to battle for the title Extreme Chef. In the first challenge, the competitors must rummage through a garage to find a hidden wagon, stroller and grocery cart, and then wheel it to the back of a pickup truck to grab unmarked canned goods and prepare a meal in 30 minutes. Next, the chefs must knock on a residents' door, gather cooking materials from their pantry and race back to the streets, but not without a few extreme twists. Competitors must cook a hot appetizer on the block of a car engine all the while managing their meal in a torrential downpour. To top off the meal, the three chefs make a fruit side dish in only 30 minutes. After one elimination, the two remaining chefs must dive to the bottom of a 10-foot pool, grab a spoon and then get the remaining ingredients from a brown bag lunch from neighborhood children. Who will prepare the perfect spoonful to impress the judges and garner the title Extreme Chef?
