French Onion Soup

I have no idea why I’ve been craving French onion soup lately.  Usually I think of it as a winter food and right now it’s so humid out, it ’s like walking around draped in a wet blanket.  But I made up a batch anyway, taking advan (read full article)

Thoughtless Thursday: White Bean Turkey Chili

When I called for inspiration last week on what I could do with leftover tomato paste, my Twitter pal Mamastephf was kind enough to send her recipe for White Bean-Turkey Chili.  It sounded divine and pretty light, so of course I had to make it.  I (read full article)

Thoughtless Thursday: I’m Feeling Pitiful Beef Vegetable Soup

I’m feeling kind of lousy today.  Since no diet on earth allows my mama’s chicken and dumplins (my preferred comfort food), I had to come up with some other form of soup for comfort food.  Yeah it’s August, but sick or feeling lou (read full article)

Thoughtless Thursdays: Black Beans And Rice

Black beans and rice is one of our favorite hearty dishes.  It’s a standard when there’s leftover rice and I”m not in the mood to do all the chopping for fried rice.  It’s a pretty forgiving dish, so it seemed like a good on (read full article)

Beef and Mushroom Kebabs

We got in late last night, so I needed something fast and easy for dinner, preferably something that didn’t heat up the kitchen.  Kebabs fit the bill.  This is a favorite of my husband’s, particularly when I don’t load it up with (read full article)

Penne with Italian Turkey Sausage and Summer Veggies

Happiness, thy name is pasta.  High, fiber, whole grain pasta (not a whole lot actually) couched in a lovely, light, veggie laden sauce with just enough sausage to add a nice layer of flavor without adding a lot of fat.  It’s a fantastic retu (read full article)
