When I asked my dad what he wanted for his birthday dinner, he responded with a gleam in his eye "I love chicken Kiev". I'd never even heard of chicken Kiev before, so I went to work finding the perfect recipe for it. Nothing I found seemed quite right on its own however, so I… Continue reading Baked Chicken Kiev

Smothered Pork Chops
My husband and I were supposed to have an all day date today. We had tickets to see Tran-Siberian Orchestra and then were given two passes to a food and wine festival tonight. Unfortunately, my son woke up this morning sick. Like...you know...sick. Not the best way to be awakened on a Saturday morning. Bleah.… Continue reading Smothered Pork Chops
Butternut Squash Ravioli
This is not a "homemade" meal. I mean, I had to boil the water, but that's about it. Sometimes - I just am not feelin' it when it comes to dinner time. Frequently that happens to fall on Friday night. Costco to the rescue. The other day I was there and stopped by one of… Continue reading Butternut Squash Ravioli

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
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
