Feature Fridays: Chicken Lettuce Wraps (via Like Mother Like Daughters)
Perusing food blogs this morning proved especially advantageous as I added a few new recipes to my “gotta try these” list and found this lovely blog by three sisters, Like Mother Like Daughters . I am one of three sisters and we have three daughters, so it made me a little sentimental reading their story thinking [...]
Thai Peanut Sauce
A few months ago, I discovered Sister’s Pantry Peanut Sauce at Whole Foods while on the hunt for new ways to prepare vegetables. It put a great new twist on quick stir-fry meals with a nutty, tangy-sweet, spice that we love. Bottled sauces and marinades have the advantage of easy, but the cost can be [...]
Light ‘Em if You’ve Got ‘Em
So what do you do when you have a Saturday in February with temperatures above 50°? Grill here; grill now. As much as I love the soups and comfort foods of winter, it is so good to enjoy the reminiscent flavors of summer when there is a break in the weather. Yes, it is even [...]
Wow Your Super Bowl Crowd With a Platter of Nachos
If you want a great appetizer for your Super Bowl party everyone will enjoy, Blue Coyote Nachos are just the ticket. Inspired by nachos we had at the Blue Coyote Grill in Palm Springs years ago, this recipe is an instant favorite. Orange goopy, processed cheese peddled as food will be a distant memory once [...]

It is no wonder that it was the staple, everyday meal for generations past—economical, nutritious, filling—you can find soup recipes for any region of the country or the world. Chicken Tortilla Soup is [...]
Inside Out Turkey Pot Pie
Turkey Pot Pie was scheduled for dinner, but since life did not go as planned, I ended up with less time than I needed to prepare it. Since the filling is cooked on top of the stove anyway, I decided to save the oven time by skipping the pastry and used biscuits instead. There was [...]
Chicken Saltimbocca
When I told my daughter I was making Chicken Saltimbocca for dinner, she said, “What’s that?” My response: bacon on chicken. Technically, that is not true, but it is the best short answer I could think of and it describes the essence of this dish. Prosciutto is Italian cured ham, which imparts a savory, salty, [...]
Smoked Turkey & Bean Soup
Smoky bean soup and sweet cornbread go together like movies and popcorn—cannot imagine one without the other. Bean soup is one of my favorite post-holiday meals because if its simplicity and delicious use of leftovers. This particular recipe uses smoked turkey, but a ham bone can be substituted (just in case you saved that [...]
Basic Chicken Stock
Stock has not only culinary, but medicinal uses as well. It is ideal as a base for soups or to sip as a broth when feeling ill. This recipe is derived from Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions cookbook. Any time you have bones leftover from a baked chicken or turkey, freeze until you are ready to [...]
