Turkey and Rice Soup

Turkey Ala King
Turkey ala King This recipe is another great example of how a 'cream' sauce doesn't have to be fattening. I've used 1/2 a tbsp of butter only and that really is enough to give off that great flavour. Plus, this recipe calls for cooked, lean turkey breast (a shout-out to our thanksgiving dinner) AND it starts with a MASSIVE pan of vegetables!!! ...

I actually want my children to associate these aromas with a ...
Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken
Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken This marinade has it all, it’s sweet, smoky, tangy, spicy and hot!

This is what you'll need 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp honey ...

Pasta with Chicken and Mushrooms in a Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce
Pasta with Chicken and Mushrooms in a Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce This recipe is inspired by a recipe my mother found in a local newspaper. This tastes rich and indulgent but really there is a marginal amount of butter and only a tablespoon of half & half cream per serving. The grainy Dijon mustard gives a sweet and tangy flavour with a ...
