Le Creuset Pan with Extras! {Giveaway} #KtchnConvo

By A Cowboy's Wife | March 5, 2013

I recently had  some kitchen conversations (via web chat) about food trends with Land O’Lakes and some lovely fellow food bloggers.  It was a diverse group of foodies and so interesting to see their food trend picks for 2013.   I have never been trendy in any sense but it always fascinates me to see all the trends of today, especially in food.

KitchenConversations_260x150

Ree, The Pioneer Woman, was first to share her food trend — MEATBALLS!  I immediately laughed, not at her food trend, but because I have never made them and all I could imagine were mine tasting like meatloaf.  She was quick to comfort my fears though.

ree and lori on twitter

  • What does A Spicy Perspective foresee? – Comfort Food Gone Global  I’m all about comfort food!!
  • A Farmgirl’s Dabbles sees Whole Grains taking over your pantry.  We have even incorporated more whole grains ourselves!
  • The Little Kitchen sees Asian Influences taking the world by storm!
  • Two Peas and Their Pod is all about POPCORN!  Gourmet popcorn with your own creative spins on them like twix caramel.  *drool*

I don’t know what the food trends will be all over this world but I do know what they’ll be here in the Falcon household, and that’s healthier dinners.  As a beef eating, ranch family, we don’t exactly eat just real healthy you know?  If you’ve been following along, then you’ve seen how we’ve been incorporating more Land O’Lakes Saute Express instead of gobs of butter like we’d normally do.  Don’t get me wrong, we will still keep our fridge stocked with regular butter for baking, breads, etc but when we can use something low calorie that has butter, concentrated flavors, and olive oil in it to cook our dinners with, we will.

So it’s all about fried chicken, pones of cornbread from HER iron skillet, sweet tea and Sunday dinners! I’ll never be one to follow trends! :) I’d rather keep it real with recipes passed down from her! <3

With Pintrest and all the recipes adapted for slow cookers/crock pots I can really see a trend toward one dish meals that are ready when everyone gets home from school or work at their different times.

    Home grown vegetables, whether in a small garden, or in containers or even in an Aero Garden. I have been using swiss chard (grows all year here in Texas) green onion tops, herbs, etc. You know where they are grown and usually have more than enough to share. I mix my veggies and herbs in with the flower borders. Plus I hooked up a white pvc pipe to the overflow faucet to the a/c and capuure the water it pulls out of the house, into a 30 gallon garbage can. Use this to fill bird baths, water container plants etc.

    As for an upcoming trend — I’m thinking the meals in muffin tins is going to be getting bigger. So convenient to make up portions and freeze. A tray of protein – a tray of veggies – a tray of desserts — freeze ’em up and can grab what you need very easily.

    I think eating healthier will always be a food trend….but rich and luxurious foods will always be there when we need a treat or for special occasions.

    I think the “real food” rage will continue to grow. I also think cooking from scratch will make a comeback. We’re all starting to wonder exactly what’s in those convenience foods that we’ve relied on for years. With food prices rising, it’ll also be beneficial to cook from scratch and save money.

    Food trends…seems like everybody I know is going gluten free, whether they are sensitive/Celiac’s or not. I think it’s odd, but hey…to each their own.

    I think food trends are leaning towards whole grains and a larger variety of them! Personally, the food trend in our home is me learning to cook for 2 or 3 instead of 5!!! The adjustment is taking time!!

    Hi, Lori! What a fun conversation that must have been – you were talking with some of my favorite bloggers! :)
    I’m not sure what the global “next new thing” is, but I do have a feeling it will continue to trend toward healthier, less processed foods. I think our awareness of how little we know about the checmicals the food industry uses is growing, and changing our idea of “healthy food”.
    Thanks for the chance to win! :) BE BLESSED!

    Here at the Brown household, the trend for 2013 is REAL foods. Trying to cook with only real foods as much as possible and not prepackaged meals. Only will time will tell if we feel healthier and lose weight. We still have to learn to cut down on our portion sizes! That’s the really difficult part.

    With price of meat getting so high, I see more and more families going to all veggie meals or adding more beans and rice to make meat go farther.

    In our house, I do my best to keep up with the food trends my five year old decides on (seemingly at random!). One minute it’s broccoli, so I buy enormous amounts of broccoli. Surprise, next day he hates broccoli. Global food trends are beyond my scope!
