I went through a phase as a child where I hated red sauce. I wouldn't eat spaghetti if it had been touched by red sauce (I had my spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese on one plate, and my meatballs with a smidge of red sauce on a different plate). No lasagna. I wouldn't even …
Chicken and Turkey
I was very excited when I received my assigned recipe for the latest swap round, themed "Healthy Recipes." I was excited because the dish was inspired by the author's trip to one of my favorite Philadelphia restaurants, Buddakan. It's Asian fusion food in a chic setting. From the waterfall wall in the waiting area, to …
I received a request via the DNCWWO Facebook page for a beanless chili recipe. I made this turkey chili many years ago. I found the original recipe on AllRecipes.com.

I was invited to a neighbor's house to watch the Superbowl on Sunday. I don't enjoy football, but I went anyway, just to socialize and eat. And, oh, was there food! Everyone brought a dish to share, so we ended up with 3 different kinds of wings, veggies with dip, pulled pork sandwiches, chili, and …
