Made a whole batch for lunch and to freeze. Very yummy. I used ground turkey, and added it to the pot after step 1. Added herbs de provence, cayenne and salt for seasoning the turkey. Then used 2 cups homemade stock, and 1 cup water with Organic Chicken Better than Bouillon, 4 fresh tomatoes, and no worcestershire sauce since I didn't have any. Will definitely make again this winter.

Me in my kitchen, and at the Wild game.
I am a photographer, portrait and fine art, and I am a yoga instructor. Besides cooking, I enjoy fitness and yoga, reading, organizing, gardening, puzzles, family, and HOCKEY. GO WILD!!!! I love to cook for my large husband...he is a natural powerbuilder and has a lot of muscle to feed. People ask how he got so "huge" and he has to answer, my cooking of course!
We both work out a lot, so we eat a lot of healthy food...I cook a LOT! The recipes I post and save to my cookbooks are usually healthy and lower calorie, or can be adapted to be so.
