Pasta Arabiata with Sausage

Published by Rachel May 3rd, 2010 in Italian, Poultry, Quick and Easy, 5 Stars, Cooking Light, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation and Pasta. 0 Comments

This sauce recipe is awesome!  It tastes like something you would get in a restaurant.  The original recipe calls for cooking the sauce for 4 minutes, but I like the flavors when the sauce is simmered for a longer period of time…it’s richer and bolder.  But if time is short, you can certainly cook the […]

Crock Pot Turkey Chili

Published by Rachel February 5th, 2010 in Poultry, Beef, Soups and Chilis, 4 Stars, Crock Pot and Kid Approved. Closed

This chili is so delicious.  It can be made completely on the stove or once assembled it can be simmered away in the crock pot.  I used my crock pot, and this chili is awesome.  It is thick and hearty and delicious.  I used ground turkey, but you could certainly use ground chicken or beef.
Ingredients:

1 […]

Tamales

Published by Rachel January 7th, 2010 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Poultry, 5 Stars, Entertaining and Leftover chicken or Turkey. Closed

We love tamales, and this recipe is by far my most favorite.  I love them more than any tamales I’ve had at any restaurant (except for maybe Berry Hill Bar and Grill).
This recipe is adapted from the Helena Tamales recipe in the April 2005 issue of Southern Living.
Ingredients:

1 package of dried corn husks
2 cooked chicken […]

Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Published by Rachel December 24th, 2009 in Poultry, Soups and Chilis, One Pot, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Southern Living, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation and Leftover chicken or Turkey. Closed

This is a tasty, hearty, and super easy version of the slow cooked classic: chicken and dumplings.  Be sure to use low sodium broth, and if you don’t I would suggest using half broth half water, otherwise it will be too salty (trust me–there is plenty of salt in the rotisserie chicken, cream of chicken […]

Cincinnati Turkey Chili

Published by Rachel October 23rd, 2009 in Poultry, Soups and Chilis, 4 Stars, Cooking Light and Easy Preparation. Closed

It’s getting cold outside and that means it’s time for soups and chilis…my favorite time of year!  And it’s no secret that I live chili, and I really do love Cincinnati chili.  I’ve made two other versions: Cincinnati Chili and Cincinnati Chili Take 2.
This version was quite tasty and we had enough for a few […]

Spicy Chicken Tacos

Published by Rachel September 4th, 2009 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Poultry, Quick and Easy, 5 Stars, Family Recipe, Entertaining, Easy Preparation, Salsa and Leftover chicken or Turkey. Closed

I so love salsa fresca, and I thought it would taste really good with some chicken tacos.  And not just as a condiment, but as part of the flavor of the chicken.
I was right.  It was delicious!
Ingredients:

1 TBSP olive oil
3 1/2 c. cooked shredded chicken
3/4 c. salsa fresca
Tortillas and guacamole

Directions:

Heat olive oil in nonstick skillet […]

Curry Rice Salad

Published by Rachel August 15th, 2009 in Poultry, 5 Stars, Family Recipe, Entertaining, Easy Preparation, Salad, Brunch and Leftover chicken or Turkey. Closed

This is a go to dish (albeit I haven’t made in a long time).  This recipe comes from my grandma Clark.  She makes it for brunches, baby showers, wedding showers, and all sorts of events.  This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or Turkey from Thanksgiving.  It’s also a great crowd […]

Southwest Chicken Taco Filling

Published by Rachel July 24th, 2009 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Poultry, 4 Stars, Family Recipe, Crock Pot, Entertaining, Easy Preparation, Heart Healthy and Latin. Closed

This chicken taco filling is quite good, and it’s made in the crockpot.  It’s important to use a flavorful salsa (I used Arriba! Fire Roasted Mexican Chipotle Salsa), and DO NOT use a mild salsa as there just isn’t enough flavor.
After the dish is cooked squeeze some fresh lime juice to give the dish a […]

Mango Jicama Salsa

Published by Rachel July 2nd, 2009 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Poultry, Fish, Quick and Easy, 5 Stars, Cooking Light, Family Recipe, Entertaining, Easy Preparation, Salad, Heart Healthy, Latin and Salsa. Closed

I’m always will to try a great new salsa to top chicken tacos or fish tacos.  This salsa is so summery and refreshing, and it went great as a topper for fish tacos.
I saw a recipe for jicama salad in the March 2009 issue of Cooking Light, which was the initial inspiration of my mango […]
