As promised, here is my recipe for Tavuk Doner or Chicken Doner. Considering I did not have a “real” doner machine from Turkey, I think the results were fantastic. The chicken was tender and the spice was delicious. If I would have had the real machine and the traditional sword-like knife that is used to cut the meat as it cooks, it would have been perfect. There were no complaints and out of five pounds of a combination of breast...

Cold weather keeps us indoors more and all this close contact means that sooner or later, someone in your family will come home with the sniffles. Or even worse a cough, stuffy nose or achy bones that make you feel like staying in bed and sleeping the winter away. There is nothing like a bowl of piping hot Chicken Soup to the rescue. This recipe that I came up with will get everyone out of bed and on...

I made these Honey Chipotle Wings with Gorgonzola dipping sauce yesterday and served with my Apple, Apricot, Pecan Salad with Orange Vinaigrette and Gorgonzola crumbles. As I promised, here is the recipe. I made these for the first time a couple of weeks ago for the Georgia – Auburn game. When I made them the first time, I baked them in the oven instead of frying them. They are great either way. They are not like most wings that are too...

Chicken Salad can be made in so many ways that you are sure to be able to please just about anyone. The chicken can be roasted, boiled or grilled. You can add purple or green grapes, red or green apples, walnuts or pecans, or a combination of any of these yummy ingredients. Celery can be added or omitted. I am not a big celery fan but my daughter likes it so when I make a batch I split...

It wasn’t too long ago when I made my Chicken Spinach Alfredo with Spaghetti recipe and it was so delicious. My cousin, Donna had been saying she wanted to watch the next time I made homemade pasta, so I decided to go ahead and make a fresh pasta. I made the sauce just a little different this time so you could use either sauce recipe. Or you could also use one of my other meat sauce recipes as...

Chicken with Mixed Vegetables or Tavuklu Türlü My sweet sister, Kim had brought me these fresh green beans, a small eggplant and some juicy tomatoes from her garden and I knew I had to make something really delicious out of them. I had some boneless, skinless chicken breast in the fridge so I decided to make this Chicken with Mixed Vegetables or Tavuklu Türlü. It was so good, I only had a small amount left for lunch the next...

Well everyone loved my Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs so much, that I decided to put a Southern spin on the recipe. I marinated the chicken as you would for the Oven Roasted Chicken in the Turkish style yogurt and spice marinade. I then removed the chicken thighs from the fridge, coated them in seasoned flour and FRIED them! The thighs were so moist and the crust was just a little tangy and spicy from the marinade. If you try my recipe, Turkish...

Who says leftovers have to be boring? Some of my best recipes have come about by cleaning out my fridge. Tonight is no different. I made some amazing rice with Chickpeas, Chicken, Broccoli and Peppers. Hope you will try it and of course you don’t have to wait till you have leftovers to make it. You could just as well cook the chickpeas, chicken and broccoli before you start the recipe. It is about a 25 minute dish if...

Around our house, Mondays tend to be pretty hectic. Since we had already planned to go for a walk on the gorgeous Black Creek trail near my house with my sister and nephew, I knew I had better put something in the crock pot for dinner. Usually, I make the normal everyday ground beef tacos, but I was in the mood for something a little different today. The recipe I have for you is something I came up...

I bought some boneless chicken thighs from the grocery store yesterday and wasn’t really sure what I was going to make. I actually did not realize they were skinless until I started to open the package. I wanted to do something with lemon and garlic but I didn’t want it to be too lemony. Well, the recipe I came up with was fantastic. The sauce was so delicious that I literally wanted to drink it by itself. The garlic...

After a long day at work, what could be more satisfying than an ooey, gooey, creamy pasta dish right? When I was pregnant with my daughter, I could not even think about eating meat, so one of my go to dishes then was plain spaghetti noodles with butter and ketchup. I know some of you, the ones who have never had it, are thinking yuck, but believe me it is really quite tasty. Well, my pregnancy induced vegetarianism days...
