Hello…. The sun is shining but it is freeeeeeezing out.  Seriously.  Is it Spring yet? I can’t wait to get outside and putter in my garden.  I love Spring….or should I say, I love Spring when it is warm outside. Last night, I have a few girlfriends over just to catch up and do a […]

For some reason, I have been seriously craving Chicken Tortilla Soup…I have been dreaming up how I could make this easy for my FODMAPers with a sensitive tummy.  This was the easiest soup ever…and next time I will use rotisserie chicken and make it even easier! I chopped and diced some chicken breast and sauteed […]

I had the pleasure of meeting Toni Fiori, a University of Massachusetts nutrition student with great energy and a love for food and health.  I knew she would provide a nice blog post for you….and she delivered.  She created an amazing looking dish, stuffed eggplants with tomatoes, quinoa, ground chicken, herbs and a nice smattering […]

My son Brennan has been on a chicken salad kick.  So, I decided to whip some up last week!  I would rather he take some chicken on his sandwich than revert back to processed deli meats, which we could all do without. I have to say, my German Dad was a huge cold cut man. […]

Russ and I headed to Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm this weekend to pick up our first winter share.  Wow!  We came home with 2 FULL bags filled with produce from the sweetest carrots ever, pounds of potatoes (both sweet and white), butternut squash, broccoli, radishes and the largest beet I have ever seen, really… And […]

My daughter, Chelsea turned me on to this recipe.  It’s like a burger but made with canned tuna fish. This recipe is easy and I seem to always have all the required ingredients on hand! Tuna Cakes are  budget friendly and a healthy way to sneak in another fish meal during the week. I can’t […]

It’s that time of year again! Got out my slow cooker for some warm and hearty dinner recipes. I love when my food cooks while I am busy doing other fun things. While I was creating this slow cooker chicken dish I am about to share with you, my son, Brennan asked why I don’t […]

I am a chicken fan. {Just saying’} I admire those that can eat a vegetarian diet but my body and taste buds do enjoy a bit of  meat. Today I made a Cheesy Yogurt and Herb Chicken.  Serious yum. Very moist and very savory.   I am not a steak or burger fan and can […]
