What better to serve a big crowd than some delicious chili? I'm not a big fan of the normal kind of chili, with beef and beans - bleah. Here's my take. Don't be fooled by the turkey into thinking this chili lacks flavor. It is packed full of spices and loaded with hearty taste. As… Continue reading Tonya’s Turkey Chili

Tomato Bacon Bites
Football party today! Go Seahawks! These were terrific little bite sized (have I mentioned I love all things bite sized?) snacks. Perfect for popping in your mouth while watching your favorite team dominate the opposition. *Had to take this photo with my iPhone - forgot the camera and they were disappearing quick! Tomato Bacon Bites… Continue reading Tomato Bacon Bites
Cabbage Soup Diet – Recap
Ah, the wedding is over and it was a great party. Wonderful celebration with family and friends. The bride was GORGEOUS! And I fit into my dress perfectly! Day 6 Beef and Veggies day. As much beef (or chicken) and vegetables as you want along with the soup. I was down 12 pounds the morning… Continue reading Cabbage Soup Diet – Recap
Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 5
Day 4 was pretty crazy. I ended up eating 7 bananas and almost an entire half-gallon of milk. I felt pretty stuffed most of the day. Had a crab and shrimp Louie salad with no dressing at the rehearsal dinner, and took a bit of ribbing for not eating any of the peanut butter, cheesecake… Continue reading Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 5
Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 4
Wow. I cannot believe how much weight you lose with this thing. I am not a big person with a whole lot of weight to lose - in fact, I'm pretty much at my body's happy weight. But I have dropped 9 1/2 pounds in three days on this cabbage soup eating plan. Zero exercise.… Continue reading Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 4
Creamy Chicken and Rice
This basic recipe is on the back of a soup can. I added broth instead of water and a couple other spices, but pretty much I was feeling uninspired last night. This still turned out very tasty (according to my family) - the rice was almost the consistency of a risotto. I used frozen peas… Continue reading Creamy Chicken and Rice
Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 3
Day Three Mix one and two: Incorporate the essentials found in the 1st and 2nd day, dropping the baked potato. Eat as much fruits and vegetables that you want to on this day together with your cabbage soup. Hooray!! Fruit! First thing this morning I had a giant bowl filled with delicious berries of all… Continue reading Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 3
Cabbage Recap: Day 1
Breakfast: Decided this morning to do the whole soup thing, but didn't have the ingredients on hand. Ate a mondo bowl of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries for breakfast and then headed out for soup ingredients. Lunch: So, the soup is made and I had my first bowl...two bowls actually, for lunch. Not bad. Not bad… Continue reading Cabbage Recap: Day 1
Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 1
So, obviously - this is not my standard type of recipe. Get ready for the justification. I have always disliked the whole idea of the Cabbage Soup Diet. To me it seems terrible to basically starve yourself for a week. From what I hear, you always gain the weight back after you've finished your week… Continue reading Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 1
Dijon Cordon Bleu
I've never tried Chicken Cordon Bleu before, and thought I'd give it a whirl tonight. Traditionally, Cordon Bleu has swiss and ham rolled in flattened chicken breasts. I'm not a big fan of swiss, but figured a little Dijon mustard paired with mozzarella inside would give it that traditional kick. I served this over a… Continue reading Dijon Cordon Bleu
