Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Tara on Oct 18th 2011
Here is another cold weather favorite of ours. Ya’ll know me well enough by now to remember I cook a lot with organic ingredients. But sometimes, I deviate from what I preach, and bring some “processed” items home to the pantry. I love to keep Chicken Pot Pie ingredients handy in the winter, because I [...]

Looking for a quick and easy dish for Cinco De Mayo? Thanks to Nicole from the Franklin Altman Eye Care in Mt. Juliet for not only sharing her dish with my hubby when he was by to get an eye checkup, but also thanks for sharing the RECIPE with me. Chicken Chilaquilas are made with [...]
Parmesan Poppy Seed Chicken
Tara on Apr 7th 2011
Every southern gal needs a quick and tasty one dish meal to whip up in 10 minutes when unexpected chaos arrives at mealtime. This recipe is made with canned chicken in a pinch, but could also be made with a deli style rotisserie chicken or regular chicken breast if time allows. But trust me and [...]
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Tara on Aug 25th 2010
Here’s a quick recipe that is a family favorite here at home. To avoid MSG, I used mostly organic ingredients, and olive for sautéing. Chicken Lettuce Wraps end up being healthier choice than Chinese takeout.

1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
½ teaspoon Ground Red Pepper
¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce (divided)
3 [...]
Asian Sesame Kabobs on Firewire Skewers
Tara on Jul 27th 2010
I just love new kitchen gadgets that are worth the space they take up in my cabinets. I recently bought some FIRE WIRE skewers with my birthday money. I first saw them at Williams-Sonoma, but they ran out before the 4th of July.
So I found them at Kroger on summer clearance recently for $6.99.
I LOVE [...]

Here’s another fabulous recipe from The Pioneer Woman. Since I’m still chilled to the bone and winter won’t leave Tennessee, I give you another warming soup. This is one of the best white chili recipes I’ve ever tasted.

Campfire Chicken
Tara on Sep 17th 2009
Fall is just around the corner and that means football, tailgating, camping, and bonfires. I can’t think of a heartier, tastier meal than campfire chicken. Assemble individual portions of campfire chicken in foil ahead of time so you can relax and enjoy your outing. This is one of our family favorites. I still remember asking [...]

Below is PIONEER WOMAN’S recipe for the SPRINGY SHELLS. [...]
Chicken and Dumplings
Tara on Apr 29th 2009
I can think of few main dishes with more Southern flair than Chicken and Dumplings. I do not recall either of my parents making this dish in our home. Chicken and Dumplings were given the respect they deserved. Only my Grandmothers were worthy enough to make them. There was no special family recipe written down. [...]
