thinking beyond beef.

Pumpkin Chili with Chicken
Yes, made with pumpkin, this is one pretty pot of chili.

White Turkey Chili
This recipe provides 10 grams of fiber and 26 grams of protein.

this chef must have corn bread on the side. Me, too!

last night, much to my surprise.  So, I'm thinking
maybe he has romance on his mind. In actuality, he

to come up with something romantic to get me to
prepare his (not mine) favorite dish.
