I was visiting the Equal Opportunity Kitchen the other day when I came across this recipe for stuffed turkey scallopini. It sounded sooo good I simply had to try it. Giz, one of the blog’s co-authors, so adeptly explains the preparation of this dish, and this is only enhanced with some really great photos of [...]

Chef John has done it again - another great little recipe that is a real pleaser. He makes great use of a seasonal vegetable that’s in all the markets right now, and one that I love - asparagus.

Middle Eastern cuisine is a big favorite around here, and what could be tastier than some ground meat kabobs. I like to use either chicken or turkey, but traditionally beef or lamb is called for. Whichever meat you choose, you will find that the spices and herbs inside these kabobs create the kind of pleasing combination of flavors on [...]

Yesterday, I tried another really great recipe from Norene Gilletz’ Healthy Helpings that I wanted to share. This really was a cinch to make. While it was marinating for 30 minutes, I roasted some brussel sprout on the side, and we all enjoyed a very South-Beach friendly dinner. Which is good, as I have begun preparations now [...]

I’ve been thinking about making this salad for a while, after having it several times at restaurants in the past. It’s an easy one to put together, and can be really hassle-free if you have any leftover chicken in the fridge! This is a great after-work-when-you’re-too-tired-to-cook recipe. Enjoy!

Ditalini means “little thimbles” in Italian, and this short tubular pasta will hold whatever goes into it, making it the perfect carrier for a tapenade sauce, which is thick and spicy. I added some grilled chicken into the mix, and the results were 5 stars ***** great. Buono appetito!
