Chef Michael Christiensen - Culinary instructor and Executive Chef at Birds Eye
In the Birds Eye Test Kitchen, Executive Chef Michael Christiansen took cues from the recipe concepts to create a special collection of kid-friendly recipes. From martians to cupcakes, vegetables are the star of these recipes inspired by Birds Eye's virtual kitchen:
• Yakimaniac Veggie Martians - Martian-ize dinnertime by letting kids add personality to these delights with edible glitter, pretzel antennas, and veggie faces.
• Veggie Cupcakes - Let them eat cake (as long as it's loaded with veggies). Parents can feel great about this savory, veggie-licious spin on a classic, favorite treat: the cupcake.
• iTasty Corn Pizza with Pumpkin - Not your standard slice of pie, this pizza packs a punch of pumpkin and veggie-rich layers in every bite.
• Taste Tester Corn Jalapeno Dip - This zesty dip deserves a fiesta. With individual tortilla bowls, kids will love this vibrant blend of colorful vegetables.
• Veggie Smoothie - Scrumptious. Sippable. Simple. This brilliant orange smoothie will leave the kids begging for more veggies... to sip.
All of these recipes feature Birds Eye Steamfresh® products, which are perfect for kids because no knives or hot stoves are required. Kids can help their mom simply by pressing the buttons on the microwave.

Karma100% agave tequila is handmade in small batches through a multiple distillation process ensuring a complete balance in taste and smoothness.
Mary Rogers - Director of Communications Cuisinart & Waring
Julia Child let people in on the Cuisinart secret and so did James Beard. They were among the first culinary experts to hail the food processor as a revolutionary kitchen appliance when it was introduced to America in 1973 by the late Cuisinart founder, Carl Sontheimer. They saw the food processor as a quick and easy way to make fine food and healthy dishes. The prestigious Cuisinart® brand is not limited to food processors. Plugged or unplugged, nobody covers the kitchen like Cuisinart. The company is a full-service culinary resource with a wide array of products, preferred by chefs and favored by consumers.
