It's time to break the habit of preparing the same old chicken dishes. If you're like me, you serve chicken for dinner more often than you'd like to admit. Plus, when you stop to think about it, you're probably cycling through the same five or six recipes over and over again. So why not shake things up a bit and try some new variations? Recipes like Chicken with Fresh Orange Salsa, or Chicken Fricassee with Asparagus and Fresh Dill, and Garlic and Fennel Grilled Chicken will provide just the lift your weeknight meals may need.

America's most famous horse race, the Kentucky Derby, is happening in just a few days. And even though the race lasts just a couple of minutes, the pomp and circumstance that surrounds it is astounding. But I say forget about the Derby hat parade that takes place inside Churchill Downs and the two weeks of parties that lead up to the race, and let's talk about what I consider to be the best part - the area's famous food! Because really, what would the Kentucky Derby be without a Mint Julep, a slice of Kentucky Derby Chocolate Bourbon Pie, the famous Benedictine spread, or a real, authentic bowl of Kentucky Burgoo? Well, it'd just be another day at the races.
