I tried this out a couple of years ago just for fun and came out with the most awesome tasting turkey you'll ever eat. No, I'm not kidding. Do you ever feel like a perfectly cooked turkey is out of reach? Not so with this method. I'm sure you have tried every method on the [...]
I decided to go Mexican style with this recipe. Chicken thighs smothered in a peanut-based sauce. YUM!!! It had a lot of flavor and punch from the ancho chili and using thighs over boneless, skinless chicken breasts. However, it lacked the vitamins we needed make this a more well-rounded meal. Here is the original recipe [...]
I was looking up a recipe to adjust for you this week, but found that I ended up developing my own instead. I had some leftovers to use. No, not turkey but the other half of a beef roast from another recipe. The recipe also called for canned cranberry sauce, which is terrible. If I [...]
Ok. So now you have that turkey carcass and a bunch of leftover turkey. My brother and sister-in-law do not typically use the carcass (we ate at their house on Thanksgiving). So I decided to take it home along with the rest of the leftover turkey. We cooked a bone-in turkey breast this year, which [...]

I love cauliflower crust pizza and some [...]

Home made yogurt’s a staple in our house. I make it. Actually, that’s a giving myself a bit too much credit. I heat the milk to 185 plus, but not to boiling, then let it cool to 100-110, but not below. The handy yogurt makers we purchased for $39.95 each, make the yogurt. IF [...]
Original Recipe from Better Homes and Gardens: Braised Chickpeas with Mid-Summer Vegetables One of the things I like to do is find and interesting recipe and make it fit our lifestyle. The Better Homes and Garden recipe had some great things going for it. However, I had to do something about the tomatoes, because Tony [...]
Original Recipe from Very Well: Slow Cooker Moroccan Beef Stew This recipe didn't need too much of a makeover. Around our house, we love beef stew and we love international flavors. This beef stew recipe has that. The calories weren't too bad as was the protein and vitamin A. The tomatoes had to go. Here [...]
