About me
My name is Colleen, I am 51 y/o. I am a licensed professional counselor, my PASSION is cooking (and feeding my husband, myself and our friends). We belong to 'circle suppers' at our church which is like a dinner club. My husband Dale and I are 'winos' and we love to go 'wine mining' (as my husband calls it) and find bargain wines or vintages that seemed long gone from the shelves! My taste in food is eclectic. I was raised in a home where my mom cooked all the time - I was raised eating artichokes, mushrooms, asparagus, etc... she was a GREAT cook! My granny Campo (on the italian side) made homemade raviolis... can you say 'YUM'?! I've been lucky enough to live overseas for 3 years and I've lived many places in the US. My heart is in the south. Dale & I look forward to moving in a southerly direction - GA, TN, NC would be fabooo! We have a great garden in our yard. I wish we lived south where we could have more outside and garden months. :'-( We raise lots of romas and I make roasted tomato sauce (mostly marinara) to freeze. Let me tell you - in the middle of winter (or anytime you don't know what to make for dinner) red sauce ROCKS and you can whip up mostly anything to go with it. :) Well, that's it ya'all. For now.

Hi Colleen, It would be an honor to be your food friend thank you. And thank you for the kind comments. Always a pleasure to meet another SRV fan. I am a bluesjunkie at heart. My sister is visiting from Naperville this weekend. She always brings me a care package from Caputos and Michaels. They have so many things I can't get around here. Thanks again. I will be looking forward to trying more of your recipes... Jim

Thanks for your kind post about chicken ala king. I don't make it very often, so that way it can be a treat. I'm with you, it's not good if it doesn't have bell pepper in it!

This sounds delicious. I love chickpeas. I'll have to give this a try soon :) I've bookmarked it.

I really love the rustic ease of this recipe in that you use a whole, cut up chicken and don't have to reduce the chicken to miniscule pieces! I will definitely try this, eve
