This is a great recipe for spring and summer cooking. It is cooked in a crock pot and so with a short amount of time in the morning or early afternoon and you can have a great main dish prepared when it is time for dinner. I also like this in the summer because it dose not make your kitchen all hot since you don’t use the oven.   Honey Pineapple Chicken 3 pounds boneless skinless ...

You don't need to add the puree, but the sharp flavor and vivid color from the roasted red peppers make this simple soup extra special. Cook's tip: If you are having trouble cutting a rock-hard squash, cut...

Here is a really good chocolate cookie that is fairly healthy as far as chocolate cookies go. They also freeze really well. If you wrap two together (with waxed paper in between) and then stick them in a plastic bag you can pull them out two at a time (thaw 15 minutes before eating) and then you may not be as tempted to eat the whole batch.   ¾ cup all-purpose flour ¾ cups whole-whea...
