Spins on 4th of July Favorites
Are you searching for something different to celebrate this year? The standard burgers and hot dogs not quite cutting it? Then look through some of these ideas for new spins on old favorites!
Chicken Thighs with Raspberry BBQ Sauce
This recipe will give you just a little different take on the typical BBQ chicken. The homemade BBQ sauce that uses either fresh or frozen raspberries (which are almost ready to pick) gives the sauce a bit of sweetness and a bright beautiful color. You can also prepare the chicken on the grill, if desired.
Summer Bounty!
Spring and early summer has arrived and the farmer’s markets and local grocery stores are bringing in the bounty of our Oregon spring! Some of our favorite shops offer fantastic ingredients and inspiration for creative meals.
Barbecued Honey-Brined Chicken, with Grilled Onions and Peppers

Livening Up the Winter Doldrums… Gimme Some Spice!!
A little spice or a lot, these recipes offer a chance to mix things up during these winter months, giving you and your mouth a wake up call!
Chicken, (Coconut) Rice and Veggie Lettuce Wraps
Most kids like anything that involves using your hands, and lettuce wraps are no different. While I wouldn’t necessarily expect them to eat the wrap as prepared for adults (though they might!), the ingredients that go into lettuce wraps are perfect for many kiddos.
Back to School and the Fall “Rush”
With the sun setting earlier and earlier in the evening, getting wholesome meals on the table before bedtime somehow seems even more challenging. Take advantage of the late summer/early fall harvest and incorporate fresh produce while you can.
Curried Chicken, Grape and Cranberry Salad
Curry, Chicken and Grapes are a natural combination. Any dried fruit would give a nice accent, but I love dried cranberries in this mixture.
Easy Meals for Hot Nights
