Turkey And Black Bean Chili
This chili is particularly scrumptious and one of the best chili recipes I’ve ever had. If you like southwest flavors, then this is absolutely the best version. It contains a slight heat which can be altered to one’s preference. I believe chili, by it’s very name should contain some exciting flavors. The preparation of this meal is all in one pot and takes just a short 15 minutes to prepare. The rest is simply just stirring the stew intermittingly while it melds and incorporates. You will need to give this batch some time to cook. Half of the ingredients are fresh and require a bit of chopping but the other…

Marinated Steak And Veggie Wraps
You’re going to love these braised steak wraps. The beef is marinated in an Asian inspired sauce before its braised that really gives the meat such a delicious zing. This recipe is a very fresh and fun lunch, dinner or appetizer option that is low carb and gluten free. I marinated steak cubes (skirt steak, flank, chuck or round steak work well) in flavored rice wine vinegar and low sodium soy sauce with some ginger, garlic and a few dashes of cayenne pepper. The cayenne is optional but a few dashes won’t over power the recipe. Marinating the meat first helps break down the protein fibers causing a more tender…

Chicken, Bacon And Ranch Pasta Salad
Welcome to the wonderful world of cold pasta salads. Have you been chowing down on them all summer like I have? This is a recipe you must try tonight because I already know it will be a hit. I used to work as a waitress while I was in college and the chicken sandwich with bacon and ranch dressing was a very popular item on our menu. I decided to somewhat replicate this salad with the flavors of the sandwich for some guys I was cooking for. My boyfriends nephew just bought a new house last month. While the boys were busy working on the house last week, I whipped…
