Three Bean Turkey Chili

July 30, 2014 by heather 5 Comments

Three Bean Turkey Chili

  It may seem strange to be sharing a wintery turkey chili recipe when it’s summer, but the last week around here was rainy and gray. And cold. Cold enough that I wanted something warming and soothing. So I made a big pot of turkey chili. I always make double and we eat it for…

Light & Tasty Chicken Piccata with Pasta

Light & Tasty Chicken Piccata with Pasta

Chicken piccata (yes, it’s 2 Cs and 1 T as the spell check loves to remind me over and over) is one of those dishes you might order in an Italian restaurant thinking it’s healthy but when it arrives, to your dismay (or not!) it’s swimming in butter. Not really good for the waistline or the heart!…

Southwest Turkey Burgers

Southwest Turkey Burgers

You guys, there’s just something about a burger that makes me happy. Quite simply, a burger is a perfect meal. Protein and veggies all enveloped in bread. Portable and delicious. And unfortunately, usually super high in calories and fat. I’m on a constant quest for a burger I can enjoy without guilt. This burger is…

Fragrant Sautéed Broccoli

Fragrant Sautéed Broccoli

In our house we practically eat our weight in broccoli. Daily. Okay, not really daily, but maybe yearly. I’ve actually planted broccoli in our garden the past few years because I spend so much money on it! My kids adore broccoli, and who am I to discourage the eating of the trees. With so much…

You Can Make Yeast Rolls, Too (And They Won’t Blow Your Diet)

I started fiddling with yeast last year. Trust me, I was scared! I mean, all that punching and kneading and proofing. Gah. It sounded like way too dangerous. But, when we put my son on the Feingold Diet, I kinda had to try making some things on my own, including yeast rolls and breads. You…

Harvest Muffins {Apple.Zucchini.Carrot}

Harvest Muffins {Apple.Zucchini.Carrot}

On busy mornings, a grab and go breakfast is a must. These muffins are my go-to. High in protein, low in fat and full of fruits and vegetables, they should taste, well, like healthy muffins. Meaning sawdust. But these Harvest Muffins? They are moist, a little spicy sweet and oh so delicious. You almost forget…
