picture shown without broccoli This past week I've been in a major time crunch as we were hosting a BIG EVENT. So, the first thing that fell by the wayside was our dinners. I just didn't have the energy or time to deal. I was desperate for a dish that I could make quickly and leave for the kids and a sitter for when they got home. While I'd admitted that I'm not a huge fan of serving pasta for dinner (because I have my suspicions that at least one of my kids might default to pasta for school lunch every day) this Asian Chicken Pasta dish … [Read more...]

After going a full week with no bread (in observance of Passover), I decided tweak our celebrated turkey burger recipe and use chicken. Remember that it's unique in that it doesn't integrate bread crumbs and ketchup to bind the meat together, but rather onion soup mix. Again, what a difference. Instead of bland, mealy burgers that require loads of toppings to acquire flavor, the new chicken burgers were moist and tasty with a little zing from the onion mix. The omission of the bread crumbs improved the consistency ten-fold. But, don't … [Read more...]
