Sometimes you just want to indulge in a quick sweet treat, using ingredients you have in the house and can make in a flash. I love to simplify my life by creating fun new recipes from things I already have on hand. This recipe fits the bill. Who needs to stand over the stove slaving [...]

Pizza Turkey Burgers

I love summer and everything that goes with it, especially corn on the cob, watermelon and burgers. And potato salad. And baked beans. And everything else. I love making turkey burgers because they are healthier than their beef counterpart (don’t get me wrong–love those too!) and they are so fun to add different flavors to. [...]

Honey-Chipotle Turkey Meatball Pita Sandwiches

March 14, 2012

I’m in the midst of switching Not Rachael Ray to Rachel Cooks! I am very excited and a little lot nervous about the switch. My brother-in-law is helping me make things look pretty and I’m trying to tackle all the technical stuff myself (and yes, I know I’m craaaa-zy). I already have a new Facebook [...]

Turkey Sloppy Joes

August 1, 2011

I very often substitute ground turkey for ground beef. But don’t get me wrong, as I mentioned before, I have no beef with beef. Love a thick juicy steak! I just try to cut down on fat and calories whenever possible. I have a crazy dream of losing 20lbs. We’ll see about that. Hopefully it [...]

Turkey Wraps

May 5, 2011

This was another lunch kick I was on for awhile. Quick, easy, healthy. It is also extremely versatile. It is more of an idea, rather than a recipe. You can take it and run with it, any way you like. Vegetarian? Sure, why not? More meat? Go for it. Want it warm? Throw it in [...]

Turkey Burgers (or, Turkey Burger Salad)

April 14, 2011

This warmer weather has me yearning for burgers, burgers, and more burgers. I had a package of ground turkey in the fridge that I thought was destined for spaghetti (cleaning out the cupboards this week). Instead, it met its fate in the form of burgers. Thick, juicy, flavorful burgers. Here is the biggest surprise of [...]

Pizza Panini

April 7, 2011

I’m on a panini kick. I’m not so sure that my husband is too fond of this. He would rather not have a sandwich for dinner. He would never complain, but I can tell. He loved the Cuban panini, but I don’t think I have him converted yet. I found some delicious looking herb foccacia [...]

Cuban Panini

March 30, 2011

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a fan of having the same meal two nights in a row. This doesn’t not mean that I am not a fan of leftovers. I just like to make a new creation out of them. I get bored easily. With Cuban pork, the question of what to do with [...]

Meatball Subs

February 22, 2011

This recipe is adapted from Smitten Kitchen. It is a great blog with beautiful photos. The original recipe can be found here. I made it with sweet potato fries (Ore Ida) which were very good. Healthy, too, because they are sweet potatoes….right? This was a hearty meal and we were both left feeling extremely full. I [...]

Welsh Rarebit Burgers

February 3, 2011

I know that I am posting a lot of recipes all at once, but I don’t want you all to be bored when you come to this site! It will slow down soon, and then I will be posting recipes that I made very recently instead of a few weeks ago. I wanted to get [...]
