Hello everyone, I try to cook with turkeyoften as an alternative to chicken to stay out of the red-meat-zone. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to cook with large pieces of turkey, so I usually opt for ground turkey. Some recipes I use ground turkey for include meatloaf, burritos and chili.

Hello everyone, Confession: I have never made a real cassoulet. I have had it at restaurants, yes! And it is always wonderful. From what I have heard and read it’s a lot of work and time.

Hello everyone, Back when John and I were in Thailand, we took a Thai cooking class. One of the things we got to cook were Thai stir fries. Our cooking instructor described these stir fries as “Thai fast food, faster then McDonald’s!” I’d say she’s partially correct with this statement, as the prep takes a … Continue reading

Hello everyone, I love artichokes! John and I will buy a couple of fresh artichokes, steam them and dip them in balsamic vinegar. Not only are they delicious, but they are fun to eat too.
