I’m always looking for ways to eat chicken that are a) tasty; b) healthful; and c) not grilled chicken breast. To be honest, chicken breast is probably my least favorite cut – I’m a thigh girl. But sometimes they’re on sale – or that’s what you have – so here’s a great recipe to transform […]
Recipes
I love recipes. I have a cookbook addiction and I probably get 6-7 cooking magazines every month. I love food, and I love great recipes.

Easy Sesame Noodles
I have been wanting to try sesame noodles on meatless Monday for awhile. This week seemed like as good a Monday as any so I put it on the menu. I’m glad I planned ahead because my Sesame Oil was rancid and I had to pick up some new. Tip: Oils and spices do have […]
