This dinner came out of my quest to find something to make with this yummy chicken andouille sausage that I had sampled at a local store (Hanson’s Market for my SC peeps). I was “hungry” shopping so of course it tasted like the best sausage I had ever eaten. I […]

Tostadas de Frijoles Peruanos
Frijoles Peruanos are Peruvian Beans. They are also known as Canary Beans and are actually a product of Mexico. They are lighter in color and a little creamier than Pintos. I have been to a couple Mexican restaurants lately that serve Peruvian beans instead of Pintos and they have become a […]
Super Easy Three Bean and Farro Chili
This was a really easy week night dinner! Last week we had a few drizzly and gloomy days so I was craving chili. I figured I better make it one more time before it is too warm and I have to wait for fall. I wanted to experiment with a […]
Spicy Italian Sausage and Seafood Stew
I made this last week when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law were visiting. We had a bit of gloomy weather and I wanted to make some comfort food. This dish is very similar to a cioppino (Italian Seafood Stew), but a little simpler to make. It does take a while to […]
Capellini with Tomatoes, Artichoke hearts, and Olives

It’s bigger and usually made with whole wheat. It has a great nutty, earthy flavor and slightly chewy texture if […]

Turkey and White Bean Chili with Cilantro Quinoa
There are so many ways to make a great chili! This is one of my easier, healthy, weeknight versions that I make often. Plenty of protein and fiber with the lean turkey, beans and quinoa. It comes together quickly after a bit of chopping. I served this with an […]
