I am Kathey Raskin of Las Vegas, and poultry is a staple in my kitchen. It pleased me to discover that we have a whole (unofficial) day to celebrate them as a dish. Chicken, turkey, and other commonly consumed birds are excellent choices for any meal because of their versatility. Chicken and turkey are low in fat, and cholesterol than other meats, meaning they’re better for the health-conscious in your family. What are the different ways you can celebrate today? Have eggs for breakfast, a chicken sandwich lunch, and one of the delicious recipes below for dinner. How are you going to celebrate today? Let everyone at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen know in the comments.

My name is Kathey Raskin, and today I’d like to invite you to my Las Vegas kitchen to sample one of my favorite recipes: pecan pie. Pecans contain more antioxidants than any other nut, and they can help reduce the risk of heart disease as well as lower cholesterol levels. They contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals, and they’re a natural, high-quality source of protein and naturally sodium free. Isn’t that a wonderful reason to start incorporating pecans into your daily snacks? I hope the recipes I share with you today become staples in your weekly menus. Let the rest of Kathey Jo’s Kitchen know your favorite way to enjoy pecans in the comments.

What a lovely time to celebrate peaches in Kathey Jo’s Kitchen. In the 1800s, American settlers traveling West did not have the ingredients to make suet pudding.

How do you like to enjoy peaches – other than in a cobbler? Let us know here at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen.

At Kathey Jo’s Kitchen, today is the day to enjoy that delicious meal of eggs and Canadian bacon, smothered in hollandaise sauce, on a bed of English muffins. They were created in New York City at the end of the 19^th century. I was surprised to learn that not a lot of people have had Eggs Benedict. Ask around, and see how many of your friends or family members can tell you what’s in it. If you’ve never had it before, see what restaurant t near you has them. You should be an intermediate to advanced level cook to make Eggs Benedict from scratch. There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to making them, as we know at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen.
