And amazingly, married to an Italian as I am, there is no red sauce, no ricotta, no mozzarella but boy, oh boy is there incredible flavor. Savory bites of mushroom, creamy nutmeg scented béchamel (which is just a fancy name for white sauce), a hint of garlic and lots of freshly grated parmesan cheese. It’s not low calorie but it might just make you swoon. It freezes brilliantly if you have some left over. Which I sincerely doubt. It’s the perfect vegetarian option for your Thanksgiving feast. Rich and creamy and supremely decadent. Even the turkey lovers will want a piece!
Main Dishes
Salmon Patties
Here’s a heart healthy and delicious recipe loaded with Omega-3’s to add to your collection. I make these all the time! Honestly, this is one of my ‘go-to’ dinner recipes and the best part? You can use canned (wild caught) salmon! Or use fresh if you chop it up or pulse it a few times in the food processor. It also works fabulously with fresh crab meat.
Even my friends who don’t love fish love these salmon patties. They are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, full of flavor and easy to make. Mix everything together and form into patties in the morning and at dinner time, all you have to do is cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side, just enough time to throw together a quick green salad and steam a veggie!
Chicken Chili
Some nights I crave spicy, southwestern flavors like warm chili and hot jalapenos, cool avocados and smooth sour cream. And when I have a craving, I want to satisfy it fast-in an hour or less.
So, with that in mind, let me offer my favorite chicken chili recipe, ready in about an hour, full of flavor and perfect for a crowd.
