Sweet Italian sausage has a distinctive, delicious flavor in large part due to the fennel seeds that are used. Given store-bought sausage is not very heart-healthy, I modified it by taking the same seasoning base and adding it to low-fat ground turkey meat (or you can use ground chicken). I made them into “meat balls”, […]

“Creamy” Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie (Minus the Pie)
My husband asked me to lighten up my chicken pot pie recipe so that the carbs were limited. I came up with this slow cooker recipe that I prepped over the weekend. It made my busy week so much easier because at lunch time (while working from home), I was able to throw in the […]
Escarole and Beans
I knew going into this week due to briefing deadlines that I would have zero time to cook. So Sunday was spent preparing the week’s meals helping me to just reheat on a busy night. Take tonight – in addition to filing a large brief, I had 3 Zoom meetings all after 5 PM, so […]
Peachy Pork Chops
Fresh peaches and a honey-balsamic reduction provide a tasty way to transform the other white meat into a mouth-watering dinner.
Sicilian Eggplant Caponata
This is a delicious vegetarian meal. You can serve it as the main course, serve it over pasta, or serve it as an appetizer as a brushetta-like topping for delicious, crusty Italian bread. I used Sicilian Eggplants, which are smaller, round eggplants that I find have a sweeter flavor than other eggplants. You can use […]

Pork, Fennel, White Bean, and Rainbow Swiss Chard Pot Pie
This recipe combines the concept of escarole and white beans in a chicken pot pie vessel. Usually the escarole is combined with sausage, but I saved the calories and added the flavor of sausage by using farm-fresh fennel. I also had a bunch of rainbow Swiss Chard, so instead of using spinach or escarole, I […]
