Kate’s Escapades – Let’s Talk Turkey

The star of every Thanksgiving feast is certainly the turkey. And probably nothing strikes more fear into … Read entire article »

Top Dish Tarragon Chicken – Liz’s rave
PrintAs you guys know, cooking is about as high on my list as a trip to the dreaded dentist. It’s not that I don’t like to cook. It’s more that I don’t like figuring out what to cook.

Like last night. Granted, I’ve fixed … Read entire article »
