Oriental Chicken is a great change of pace for your poultry. If you enjoy Chinese food, more than likely you will love this! The marinade coats the chicken with a tangy-sweet glaze.  The marinated meat holds so much moist flavor to make every bite delicious. Each time I have this it reminds me of General…

It is mid-October and I am still bringing in bundles of kale and chard from my garden!  I keep fixing it because I know it is so good for me, it is delicious, and because it won’t stop growing!  We love it and enjoy it in just about every shape and form. Search kale  and…

Every fall I begin to think of comfort food. All too often comfort foods mean a lot of carbohydrates from mashed potatoes, thick stews, macaroni, or rich gravies.  This dish has many fewer carbohydrates than most comfort foods.

Let’s face it, sometimes you just need a dessert. Indulging in luscious, rich, chocolate cake will usually result in ‘eater’s remorse’. Scoops of ice cream drizzled with hot fudge will have the same effect. Let’s not even begin to entertain the thought of fresh apple pie, in season or not. So try Raspberries ‘N Cream…
