This week I wanted something simple and comforting. I haven't done too many recipes for chili so far, but I found one I had to try. Our lives have been pretty busy lately, but we took some time to visit our families (socially distanced, of course). Make sure when you visit your loved ones, you [...]
Now that I have that lovely turkey frame, I needed something fun to do with it. I am surprised I never though of Pho. Pho (that's pronounced like duh, not like go) is a great brothy comforting soup that is spicy and meaty and perfect for a turkey frame. When looking for a recipe to [...]
I decided to take a turkey out of the freezer this week. I have two turkeys in my freezer. It was hard to pass up 37 cents a pound around Thanksgiving. Now I need to make space. A turkey takes a lot of space. I am going to start out by deconstructing the turkey. If [...]
I'm going to take on last hurrah with the oven before it gets too hot. This recipe is a complete remake of Chili Cornbread Salad from Taste of Home. I had a feeling if I just replaced a few ingredients the portion size would end up too small. I want to avoid that. I love [...]
The week, I am giving you a quick recipe that just sounded fun. Plus, I need to keep going through my surplus of meals. This recipe is not freezer friendly. I saw the recipe for Loco Moco on Foodwishes and I just decided to make my own version of it. If you are not familiar [...]
Chock this up to another recipe I have never heard of. I am giddy when there is a recipe that is brand new to me. When you look around the world for cuisine, what may be common to them is new to those of us who don't live in the culture. Harira is a recipe [...]
Here is the first recipe of the new year. I wanted to do a recipe that was healthy, fun and easy. I wanted to post something that is totally contrary to what people think eating healthy is this time of year. Many people are countering their weeks of excess with bland, unseasoned poached chicken breast [...]
So I decided to do something a bit different with the turkey frame from the Thanksgiving turkey breast. I have already made two soups that are more standard: Turkey Lentil Soup and Turkey Split Pea Soup with Broccoli. Now I want to change it up a bit to something out of the ordinary. Not to [...]
Now that I have all of this lovely dark meat from the Thanksgiving turkey, now it's time to make something with it. I wanted to do something a bit more interesting than your typical stew. Not that your basic turkey stew is bad. I love that too, but you can only do that so many [...]
The recipe for this week is more of a riff than a healthier version. Ash-e-reshteh is already healthy. It's a recipe from the Middle East that uses noodles and beans with caramelized onions. I was inspired by the story from the Huffington Post: This Persian Noodle Soup Recipe Is The One-Pot Wonder You Need. This story [...]
