Mediterranean Chicken & Kale
Mediterranean Chicken & Kale is fast and easy! This recipe has been kicking around my kitchen for years. It's a family favorite and a meal we enjoy nearly every month. I used to make it with spinach, until my younger daughter, Lauren made it for us with kale.

Having said that however, ... Read More about Mediterranean Chicken & Kale

Smoky Turkey Chili
Delicious Fall Chili Recipe Although it is a bit warmer than it would normally be this time of year, it's getting cool enough to enjoy this fabulous Smoky Turkey Chili! We like things spicy around here, and since the flavor of turkey is not quite as distinctive as, say the steak I used in my Chuck Steak Chili, it is the perfect match for some strong spices and a nice smoky flavor that really compliments the turkey and beans. I used canned beans in this, and a nice variety of ... Read More about Smoky Turkey Chili
