Baby food: Molly Yeh’s family gets
bigger in ‘Girl Meets Farm’
By Andrew Warren

W
e all get food cravings.
Sometimes it’s a rich,
succulent burger or buttery
and salty popcorn; other
times we want something
sweet, like a big, generous
slice of pecan pie or an entire
tub of chocolate ice cream.
Being pregnant, though,
can take those cravings to
an entirely new level, and
one of Food Network’s most
endearing hosts is inviting
viewers to join her on a food-
focused journey through her
pregnancy.
A new season of “Girl
Meets Farm” kicks off Sunday,
March 31, with host Molly Yeh
setting out on a new adven-
ture: impending motherhood.
Throughout the season, she
brings her combined Chinese
and Jewish heritage to bear
as she tackles the challenges
— and the excitement — of
pregnancy.
In this week’s season pre-
miere, Molly puts some tasty
spins on a few of her favorite
dishes that she prepares for
the dad-to-be, her husband,
Nick. She prepares a Chicago
dog meatloaf with a mustard
glaze, makes a salt-and-vine-
gar potato galette and whips
up some wedge salads with
bacon and feta cream.
Next week, as her due
date draws closer, the host
prepares some make-ahead
meals that are destined for
the freezer for those days
when she just doesn’t have
the energy to cook. On the
menu are sweet potato and
black bean burritos, mini
spinach and artichoke chicken
casseroles, and even some
potato bagel breakfast sand-
wiches. Of course, she expects
dad to help out, so she also
teaches Nick how to prepare
a succulent (and super quick)
salmon sheet pan supper with
horseradish sauce.
Over the next few weeks,
Molly hosts a baby shower
and learns a few cherished
family recipes from her own
mother. Of course, it isn’t all
baby all the time, and the host
also whips up a fresh spring
feast to share with her family.
Molly Yeh is a big-city girl
who grew up in Chicago’s
suburbs before marrying and
moving to her husband’s
farm on the Minnesota-North
Dakota border. She’s a woman
with a wealth of experiences,
and she shares them with au-
diences in “Girl Meets Farm,”
Sundays on Food Network.
