This chicken leg quarters recipe is by far one of the tastiest chicken recipes. There is a lot of flavor coming from the rub alone, but pan-searing, followed by oven-roasting, adds a ton of extra flavor. That beautifully caramelized skin is just so tasty. With most of the fat rendered out, it turns thin and crispy in the oven. You can’t have enough of this chicken. This recipe is a sibling of my popular Crispy Oven Roasted Chicken Breast recipe with a modified seasoning mix....

A rich, hearty slow cooker soup made with ground meat (I used turkey to lighten it up, though you can certainly stick with tradition and use lean ground beef instead), kid-friendly vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and peas, and a few subtle but substantial flavor-boosters, this recipe is a happy meeting ground where both little ones and grownups will find solace and satisfaction. Crock Pot Hamburger Soup: Kid Appeal The flavor is mild without being bland....

When viewed objectively, crock pot turkey meatballs are not particularly romantic. They are messy. They are saucy. They are rarely pretty, and they certainly are not to be eaten in white pants. Yet, there is something about slow cooked turkey meatballs that will always remind me of love. Perhaps it is because each meatball is formed individually with care. Perhaps it is because the best, most tender meatballs require the gentlest touch to scoop and shape....

It’s wonderfully chocolatey, chock full of crunchy nuts, and totally irresistible. Sounds like heaven to me!

I’m not sure who told Mr. Monday about my Friday night bar bill or showed him the recycling bin after Saturday’s party at the lake, OR how he found out about Sunday night’s barbecue bonanza (for the record, the Crockpot Ribs were suburb). Somehow, Monday has a way of cajoling me into atoning for my weekend excesses. It’s as if the “M” on my calendar stands for “Make Amends.” On Mondays, I drink and Cleansing Apple Avocado Smoothie and begin to restore the equilibrium of my digestive system....

Can you believe it’s Easter time already? ? Time to gather the loved ones to eat delicious food and celebrate little traditions! Oh, I’m sure you’ve already noticed that I’m a sucker for traditions. Especially the ones that involve food! ??? One of my favorite Easter traditions – along with oversized chocolate eggs – is the Easter Dove Bread, or Colomba Pasquale as they call in Italy. Like the Panettone, this sweet bread is really popular in Brazil, because of our strong Italian heritage, and my family always gobbles a few of these for Páscoa (Easter in Portuguese)....
