I'm a mother to 4 sons, so cooking is of the utmost importance here! I'm not a fan of cooking and look at it as a chore, but it's certainly easier and more fun with this website. I'm trying a lot of new things lately and the boys are very happily acting my guinea pigs.

Bean Soup With Kale
This is delicious! I had leftover kale from a different recipe and had to find a way to use it. What a way! What I did differently was to add a package of Italian chicken sausage, diced. I sauteed the sausage with the onions and garlic. Because the sausage took up a lot of space, it didn't look soupy enough, so I added an additional cup of broth. I didn't have fresh tomatoes on hand so I used a can of diced tomatoes (undrained) and only had one can of cannellini beans, so I used adzuki beans for the rest. I also followed the advice of another reviewer and simmered for 15 minutes uncovered followed by 20 minutes covered. I will be making this again and again. Huge hit here with my 4 kids who usually won't touch soup, let alone kale!

Easy Garlic Broiled Chicken
I followed user audra's suggestion of using 1/2 the butter and baking then broiling and, let me tell you, there is no better chicken recipe I have found yet. I make this often, basically because my 4 sons and husband request this on a near weekly basis!! FANTASTIC!

Quinoa and Black Beans
excellent! Even my son, who detests quinoa, ate 2 servings! I didn't change a thing, and never would. It's perfect as written!
