Sauteed Radishes
I doubt I’m the only person who sautes radishes, but I am the only person I know who does. When our garden starts popping these beautiful little spicy bites, I get excited. They are delicious when plucked straight from the garden and they have a peppery bite to them. Also the health benefits to radishes are many. If you’re interested in a little more information on the benefits of eating these little gems, check out 9 reasons to ‘Eat Your Radishes”. I like to saute them with onions and garlic. They become tender and sweet. The greens are also good for you and are great in soups. Continue reading

Turkey Thigh Cacciatore
When I saw these beautiful large turkey thighs I couldn’t help but think… ‘Cool, I bet these would make a great Cacciatore. And sure enough, they did. Delicious in fact. I have two secret ingredients that I add in my Cacciatore and I am going to share them with you today. This is a great dish to make for a crowd. You can prepare it ahead and let the oven do the rest. I love making meals that allow me to enjoy my guests. So if you are making it for a crowd use a cut-up chicken or chicken thighs instead. You will also want to cut the time by about 30 minutes as the turkey thighs are very large by comparison. Enjoy! Continue reading
