I love finding great cooking and food videos online. There are a few that I love so much I wanted to share them with you on this beautiful sunny Friday! Hopefully you will be encouraged to get out to your local farmers market, pick up some amazing fresh produce and cook it yourself--I know it sounds dramatic, but really--you are the best chef for your family. Homemade beats five star any day. Trust me on this one. (However, a visit to Morimoto, Pure Food and Wine, Josies, Blossom, Masa, Caravan of Dreams or Candle 79 here in NYC is always a welcome treat....)

SALMON AND VEGGIE POCKETS
This first video is a classic easy delicious meal technique by the -- insightful, charismatic and very popular blogger, Dani Spies. Dani shows how truly easy it is to make an entire delicious and healthy meal of fish, veggies and pasta--with minimal work. Dani Spies has an amazing website filled with fun and informative cooking/food videos. Check it out at www.danispies.com. But first watch this:

SWEET AND SOUR TROPICAL ISLANDS--kid friendly video!

A fun and creative kids recipe video--that actually tastes yummy! Sweet and Sour Tropical Islands...!
I can't seem to find a main website for this video, but I LOVE it. There are fun facts thrown in about food and the editing is fun. If anyone finds more Kitchen Kids! videos or info--please let me know!! Here is a kid-friendly recipe for Sweet and Sour Tropical Islands:

STRAWBERRY MANGO MILKSHAKE

And just because it is a hot day here in New York, I'll leave you with one of Dani's smoothie recipes.
Its a Strawberry Mango Milkshake...not really a smoothie, but its great inspiration to lug out your stored blender and start making some summertime smoothies.

Oh, and did I mention that Dani is a ACSM Certified Fitness Trainer and a Holistic Health Counselor, AADP. Visit her website for further contact info!

She also has some great bloopers at the end of her videos--one of my favorite features of her videos!

SPRINGTIME LEAFY GREENS

OK, one more I love for its helpful yet simple produce advice: Springtome Leafy Greens:

(*quickie blooper outtake at the end of this one.)
