Light White Turkey Chili

by Marilyn McKenna

A few days after Thanksgiving and the leftovers are no more welcome than houseguests who have stayed just a little too long. I tossed everything but the leftover turkey I used for this recipe and the cranberry sauce. Besides the turkey, all the other ingredients were things I already had on hand, some because of Thanksgiving, […]

Slow Cooker Healthy Apple Cranberry Crisp

by Marilyn McKenna

I’m always looking for shortcuts to cut my kitchen time and using the slow cooker is one of the best ways there is. I chopped up apples while I was making dinner tonight, tossed them in the slow cooker, crumbled up the topping, topped the apples with it, put the lid on the cooker and set […]
