Stuffed Peppers [RECIPE]

Growing up, both our mothers made stuffed peppers for dinner because it was an inexpensive and wholesome meal that stretched a few ingredients to feed our families. However, I prefer this grown-up version because it incorporates sweet red peppers, flavored chicken sausage instead of beef, and Near East’s toasted pine nut couscous mix which adds a bit of spice to the filling. This recipe is pretty forgiving though, so feel free to substitute whatever ground meat you may have on hand. You can also use rice like our moms did if couscous isn’t available.  Continue reading “Stuffed Peppers [RECIPE]”

If you grew up in the South like I did, you know that every time there is a gathering, whether it is for a wedding, funeral or even a community picnic, someone will undoubtedly bring a casserole dish filled with chicken spaghetti. It is simply one of those staples that every Southern woman (and many of the men) seems to know how to make, and everyone’s recipe is just a bit different from the last. Here’s my take on this comfort food staple, with just a dash of Texas heat thrown in for good measure. I hope you love it! Continue reading “Chicken Spaghetti [RECIPE]”

We love getting multiple meals from one chicken. In this case, we use two cups of shredded chicken breast to fill these quick-and-simple burritos that are as light as they are flavorful. Packed with yummy spices, black beans and fresh veggies, they’re healthier than getting the super sized burrito down from the joint down the street and come together just as quickly.  Continue reading “Stuffed Chicken Burritos [RECIPE]”
