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

After a quick grilling the beef is tender and flavorful…Enjoy! 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
