Mama's Chicken Saute My mother made this dish for our family dinners whenever we wanted comfort food. I always think of her when I make it. It has chicken and egg--symbols of the life cycle.

Buckwheat Crepes
Buckwheat Crepes Full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, buckwheat is a grain that is too often overlooked. Most people have never cooked with it or encountered it in restaurants.

Stuffed Turkey Rolls
Stuffed Turkey Rolls I pack these turkey cutlets with my Savory Stuffing, roll them up, and secure them with kitchen twine.

The selenium in turkey can increase your resistance Read More

Tomato paste gives this Read More
