Holidays & Healthful Eating
There is nothing better this time of year than a delicious, slow-cooked meal that echoes the love and care put into it. And nothing says “love and care” more than the holiday table.
Slow Cooked Turkey Soup with Poblano Chiles, Lima Beans and Corn
This recipe comes to us via Food and Wine and is from Chef Grant Achatz, who makes this simple, creamy and sublimely silky zucchini soup without any cream at all. And you can easily use the ‘Monster Zucchini’ here! We made this soup this weekend and were shocked how good just a few simple ingredients were.

Shrimp and Avocado Salad
I normally like a Shrimp Louis-style dressing (think Thousand Island) with the shrimp mixture, but this change up was nice too. You could also dress the shrimp only, and serve on an avocado half or quarter over greens.
Curried Chicken, Grape and Cranberry Salad
Curry, Chicken and Grapes are a natural combination. Any dried fruit would give a nice accent, but I love dried cranberries in this mixture.
