Chicken Stroganoff This is a great variation of the classic Beef Stroganoff, just a little lighter!

I love cooking with mushrooms because they add such a decadent depth of flavour that is low calorie and completely fat free and they are a great ...

Good Old Fashioned Chicken and Rice Soup
Good Old Fashioned Chicken and Rice Soup I mentioned in my previous post that I was deflated over this Global Warming crisis; to soothe my soul I made this pot of soup.

I moved on with my life and then last month we ...
