Turkey Florentine Stuffed Shells

Prepare your shells al dente to prevent tearing and allow them plenty of cooling
time so you don't burn your hands.

Saute fine chopped onion and garlic. Add chopped mushrooms. Add and
brown ground turkey. Add your fresh baby spinach near the end of cooking
to wilt it into the mixture. Finish off with oregano and parsley. Mix it all
together with ricotta and parmesan.

Cool this mixture. Don't rush and burn your hands. (do you get the idea
that I was not patient?) Stuff your shells with your yummy mixture.

Mix tomato sauce with diced tomatoes. Stir in plenty of fresh chopped basil. Dollop
out 1/2 on the bottom of your pan to keep the shells from sticking. Arrange your
shells, then top with the rest of your tomato mix and some grated parmesan.

Bake for 30 min until bubbly. Serve with a nice Pinot Gris. :)

Teriyaki Chicken

Something quick and simple over good rice, can be an exquisite dinner.
I made this mouth watering delight with a few items on hand.

I marinated chicken breasts in a store bought teriyaki sauce with
green onions and sesame seeds.

I coarsely chopped pineapple, red pepper and sweet onion.
I sauteed it all quickly ans served over Lime Basil Rice with
more fresh green onion and sesame seeds.

Lime Basil Rice

Cook rice in vegetable broth. When done stir in lime zest, the juice of 1/2 a lime,
and about 2 tbs of minced basil (the thai basil is excellent) with a drizzle of olive oil.
