Healthier Peanut Butter and Choc chip cookie and hug

Healthier Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies blend high protein flour with nutritious peanut butter to create a better for you cookie. Teff flour gives these treats a nutty flavor and rich color.

I mixed up the chips between dark chocolate and white chocolate. All natural peanut butter rounds out the deal.
Why did I go through all that trouble to make chocolate chip cookies? That’s easy! It’s time again to #FillTheCookieJar !

Turkey Cutlets with Sausage Stuffing #SundaySupper

Turkey Cutlets with Sausage Stuffing make a perfect Sunday Supper. Individual servings are great for a sit down dinner.

 

Turkey Cutlets Sausage Stuffing

Turkey Cutlet Sausage Stuffing

I say that because I have been lucky enough to be part of the Sunday Supper family since June 2012! I watched this group grow under the leadership of Isabel Laessig.

When Isabel’s oldest left for college, Isabel asked her what she was going to miss most. Her daughter answered that she would miss spending time in the kitchen and around their family table.

That statement spawned her blog, FamilyFoodie.com  where the emphasis is on good food made to be shared and enjoyed around the family table.

Sunday Supper takes this idea one step further. Her mission became to spread the word to families how important and rewarding it is to sit down together for a meal.

The goal:  Sunday Supper starts off as one day a week and soon becomes a way of life.

Family to me includes all the people who share your life journey. Relatives as well as friends both old and new.

I most recently had the pleasure of spending time and enjoying Sunday Supper with my Sunday Supper Family at our first live event!

We now honor that idea by celebrating National Sunday Supper Month throughout the month of January. Also look for a special Sunday Supper January 10, 2016 for National Sunday Supper Day!

“And that’s our mission, to get as many folks as possible around the family table. The biggest gift we can give to our family is to hug, laugh, share our stories and enjoy great meals together.”

Use this link to pledge and sign to commit to sharing Sunday Supper at least once a month this year. Click on the graphic!

Turkey Cutlet with Sausage Stuffing

Since my sit down meals always led to gravy wars, I make several kinds and they get to pick! Milk gravy, brown gravy, turkey gravy and sausage gravy all sound good to me!

Turkey Cutlets with Sausage Stuffing

  • 4 turkey breast cutlets (1/4-inch thickness)
  • chicken or poultry seasoning

  • 1 Tablespoon oil
  • 4 cups soft bread cubes
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley or celery flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • butter for browning

Instructions

  • saute sausage until thoroughly cooked, drain
  • in a separate pan, saute celery and onion in butter.
  • add sausage, vegetables and butter to bread cubes.
  • whisk together broth, wine, half and half and nutmeg. add to bread cube mixture.
  • lightly coat a glass casserole dish with oil.

Adjust for stuffing dryness by adding additional broth as needed.

Strawberry BBQ Meatballs
What’s red, juicy, ripe, in season and oh so delicious? Florida Strawberries of course!

We all enjoy strawberry desserts like Strawberry Pie , Strawberry Crumb Bars and Strawberry Fritters .

Strawberries are so easy to prepare with no peeling or searching out seeds, so why stop with desserts?
It’s easy to add flavor and nutrition to your favorite dishes with fresh from Florida Strawberries.
I love to toss a few in salads. What would spinach salad be without strawberries?

Refreshing  low-cal strawberry smoothies top my list of fruit drinks. A little low-fat yogurt, strawberries, skim milk, ice and a drizzle of honey is all you need. Summer anytime!

Florida strawberries are a natural in hot cereals and yogurt parfaits for a breakfast packed with Vitamin C, folate, manganese and antioxidants.
Did you know 8 medium strawberries (about a cup) equal your daily requirement of vitamin C for under 50 calories?

The natural sweetness of strawberries lends a bright taste to chicken, fish and meat dishes. I pair strawberries and chicken in a Strawberry Pineapple Chicken Salad any time of year.

Florida Strawberries also make great sauces for fish. Strawberry and Balsamic reduction is so good over grilled or baked salmon. We drool at the thought of it!

Strawberry BBQ Meatballs platter

One of my favorite dishes is Strawberry BBQ Meatballs. Florida Strawberries flavored sauce soaks into the meatballs giving off a sweet and tangy taste in every bite! I use a blend of beef, pork and veal for the meatballs. Serve these moist, plump meatballs over multi-grain rice or pasta.
