Your little sprout can help you bake up this healthy side dish for your holiday meal. Chef Lisa Barnes claims, "Although they are one of my favorites, I realize Brussels sprouts are not welcome by many. I think they get a bad rap because they are usually boiled, bland, and still rock hard in the center.

Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

This question comes from the group The Children's Table from member chab.
Does anyone out there know of a sugar free "O" cereal? I used to get Cascadian Farms "O" cereal because it was organic and sugar free, but it seems like they changed their product as it now has sugar.

Pardon the cheesy title - I could not resist.
In college I rarely cooked meals. I either ate something really simple (hamburger helper, anyone?) or I went out to eat.

Wonderful partner, gorgeous baby and a fantastic sex life may seem like the ideal dream but is it realistic?
Sleepless nights and your partner’s body insecurities after child birth may not be the best recipe for a fantastic sex life. If you are both content with sex not being on the agenda for a while then that’s fine but if it’s causing frustration within your relationship then it’s important to try to improve it.

I'm struggling with my soup for the week. I'm still housesitting, therefore I'm still perusing my mother's recipes. I'm experiencing recipe-goodness-overload!! And after the holiday weekend--filled with munchies, sweets, and drinks--I'm feeling very unhealthy. I'm not the type that counts every calorie and tries every new diet on for size. My philosophy is more to not deny myself anything, and keep portions balanced. However, the pants are starting to be too snug for my liking, so I want to be extra conscious about what I eat for the next few weeks. The problem is, when I cook, I snack. The two seem to go hand-in-hand for me.
Anyway, back to the soup... I've narrowed it down to three: minestrone, or two different types of chicken noodle. Two of the three are chock full of veggies, and none of them require an abundance of cream. I'll just have to see what ingredients I have on hand and what can be purchased on sale. Hopefully I'll have it narrowed down by the time I get to PCC tonight.

So I've decided to challenge myself to make a soup a week for the next few months. I'd like to post my recipes, my reviews, and my thoughts on the whole experience somewhere, but I'm not sure where to do that. Should I start a new group? Start a blog on the onsugar network? I like the recipe feature on the groups, but I don't know if that's what I'm looking for. Can anyone offer me advice and steer me in the right direction?

I love soup. Like, really really love it. I could eat it for every meal, every day of the week. And any kind of soup too--I don't think I've met a soup I didn't like. (Well, maybe if it was made with beets. But you never know!) The problem is I'm always so busy I never have a chance to cook for myself. I often find myself turning to canned chicken noodle soup from Cambells. Without a doubt, that's my comfort food and I'll never tire of it, but it's so much more fun to make your own! So I've decided to challenge myself. Each week I will make a new soup. I have tons of cookbooks to scour, so finding recipes shouldn't be a problem. I'll post my adventures here, and hopefully I'll inspire someone else!
(FYI: I started this little project during the first few days of October, so these first few posts will be catch-up. Plus, I didn't think to take pictures until recently, so for now most will be picture-less.)
