Chicken Tacos
I was inspired to make Chicken Tacos when I received a totally unexpected delivery of fresh and delicious tortillas and tostadas from Del Campo. Each bite tastes of pure corn. I happily munched on the tostadas while I made chicken tacos. I let the Del Campo company know how much […]
Tomato Salsa
Tomato Salsa is one of those products that is easily bought at the grocery store. You can buy really tasty mild, medium or sharp salsa and everyone will be very happy. I definitely recommend that route during the Winter. When it’s Summer and tomatoes are at their most flavorful, I […]

Turkey Scaloppine with Lemon and Capers
I came up with the idea of turning Veal Piccata into Turkey Scaloppine with Lemon and Capers when a friend of ours decided that white meat turkey was the only meat he would eat. It turns out that the mild flavor of turkey is the perfect foil for the mixture […]
