Spring is in the air in Seattle (well as much as Spring can ever be in the air in Seattle), so I thought I’d get soup out of my system until fall! This can be prepared stove top or slow cooker. Slow cooker works a little better because the sausage has time to marry with the…

Skillet Italian Chicken with Orzo
I’ve noticed a re surge of the one pan dinner lately. Love the idea! Great for weeknight and a bit healther than the Hamburger Helper I remember as a child…but boy, did I love the Cheeseburger version! I love the idea of everything in one pan and bam, your dinner is done! What I don’t like…
Panini 101 – Make the perfect Panini! No Special Equipment needed!
You can use this basic recipe to make homemade Panini’s that are as good as any fancy sandwich shop or restaurant. I used fresh Mozzarella, Pesto and Roasted Red Peppers for a Caprese style Panini. I substituted Roasted Red Peppers instead of traditional tomato because I think it adds a lot more flavor and tomato’s can make your…

Turkey- Pepperoni Burgers with Pesto Mayo
Turkey and Pepperoni Burgers for the win! We have been eating a whole lot of ground turkey lately (organic of course), in lieu of ground beef. I still think beef makes a better burger but this recipe should kick your turkey buns up a notch! Chopped up pepperoni slices, some pesto mayo, provolone and…
BLT Pasta Salad
Crisp, refreshing and easy! This recipe calls for store bought Ranch Dressing…yes, I said it, ‘Redneck Ranch’. Personally, I am not a huge fan of Ranch, (because I am so cultured an’ stuff), but in this recipe it works. I bought the higher end brand in the cold food section, I paid more, so I am sure it is…
Crunchy Oven Baked Shrimp with Peachy Dipping Sauce
Crunchy Oven Fried Shrimp with Spicy Peachy sauce! I can’t get enough of them! I will make the peach sauce over and over again, I can already taste it with salmon and turkey burgers and pork chops and chicken and fish and…well you get the point. It’s yummy! The sauce is so simple, it is made out of peach…
Grilled Ginger-Soy Chicken
Simple, simple, simple! Just a few ingredients plus an hour to marinade and “Bob’s Your Uncle”! I used organic chicken thighs with fresh ginger and garlic…but you could easily substitute chicken breasts (try to stay organic if you can) and ground, garlic and ginger…you get near the same results! Ingredients 2 pounds chicken thighs (bone in…
Turkey Quesadilla Burgers
The first time I ever had a Quesadilla Burger was in Palm Desert, after 18 holes of golf with our very dear friend’s, Raela and Bob…both prolific golfers and lovers of good food…and guess where they took us to have this fine burger? Applebees! ‘So, if these guys are such ‘food lovers’, Kathi, why did they take you to freakin’ Applebees?’ you ask. Well, I’ll…
Turkey Taco Pie!
Okay now, don’t be talkin’ smack about my simple old Taco Pie…I know, it’s a little South Park but it is really yummy! This recipe took first place in the Pillsbury Bake Off in 1970 and I’ve been eating it ever since. My mom made it, my sisters make it (well at least one of them, the other…
Perfect Crispy Oven Fried Chicken!
Ho hum, another recipe for oven fried chicken…but not so fast my foodie freinds! My oven fried chicken recipe can beat up your oven fried chicken recipe! What makes mine so perfect you ask? Buttermilk. Not the kind you find next to the weird milk products in the dairy case, but the kind you make…
