Spunky, spicy, smokey, meaty chili bursting with the flavors of a plethora of peppers. Top if with grated cheddar, chopped onions or my favorite…bacon crumbles ! Serve it with a big wedge of corn bread of a slice of warm beer bread, slathered with butter. A word of caution…have a glass of milk ready to […]

Chicken Parmesan Patties with Marinara
Love, love, love cooking shows. One day while changing channels, I saw Rachel Ray on the screen. On that particular day, Rachel was sharing some 30 minute meals…my kinda stuff.

My youngest brother Tom shared this rich and creamy, downright delicious recipe with me just in time to use my leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

Turkey Casserole
I always struggled with what to do with leftover turkey. You can only eat so many sandwiches and bowls of soup. Several years ago my friend Norma shared this recipe with me. Its creamy, cheesy and so flavorful. You prepare it the night before, so it’s convenient as well.
Turkey and White Bean Chili
One day while watching cooking shows, Giada, a spunky little Italian chef, made a pot of chicken chili. It sounded different, so I thought I’d give it a try. I went to 3 different store and not one had ground chicken, so I settled for ground turkey instead. My family loved it, so turkey chili […]
Tandoori Chicken
Marinated in yogurt and spices, this dish is juicy and bursting with flavor. Serve it with a side of rice or Naan bread.
Stir Fry Chicken
Bite sized pieces of chicken, marinated in a delightful Asian type sauce, stir fried to perfection and served over rice. This is a great basic recipe that you can add more ingredients to make it your own. I like to add water chestnuts, snow peas and cashews. The skies the limit!
Sriracha Chicken
A friend of mine recently gave me this recipe. I was hesitant to try it because I don’t favor spicy dishes. Much to my surprise, the dish turned out delicious. The orange marmalade and lime juice balance out the heat of the Sriracha sauce, leaving you with a flavorful chicken dish. I like to serve […]
Skillet BBQ Chicken
For years I had lived in an apartment complex where BBQ grills were not allowed. I missed having BBQ chicken. Then I came across this tasty, tangy recipe in an old Hunt’s recipe book . The chicken is browned and then simmered in a delicious sauce, leaving you with tender, juicy, flavorful chicken.
