	Hi Roger, I would say not only is it Good, it sounds absolutely Delicious. You had me a little worried there for a minute when you said "mild green chilies", but then you immediately redeemed yourself with the 1-1/2 Tbs of Cumin and the 1/2 tsp of Garlic to put the "zest" back into it. I do love my Cumin. Matter of fact, here's a rather unusual recipe that I doubt that too many have ever seen before... Cumin Pumpkin Soup 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin (not pie filling) 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 cup lowfat milk 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 bay leaves Salt and ground black pepper Fresh sage leaves Popcorn and pumpkin seeds, for garnish In a medium saucepan, whisk together pumpkin, broth, milk, and cumin. Add bay leaves and set pan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat, remove bay leaves and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Garnish with sage, popcorn and pumpkin seeds before serving. Thanks Again My Friend & Have A Great Week, Phil

	Hello My Friends, First of all, no, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. I'm trying something a little different this time. If you've been over to my Papa's Kitchen Thread, you'll probably recognize the tiitle of today's dish, Blueberry Buckle. That's right, the same delicious Dessert, just prepared differently. Hope you'll try this recipe, one way or the other, the choice is yours. It's delicious either way. This recipe orginally came from a copy of Good Housekeeping's Quick & Simple magazine, with an article entitled "Oprah's Favorite Summer Treats!" I wondered what they could be and I was tickled to learn that one of Oprah's favorites was also one of mine, a Blueberry Buckle, or Cobbler. However, I knew that I could find a way to convert this recipe to my favorite way of being Quick & Simple: In other words, I used the CrockPot. This serves 4, in two ramekins which you put inside of a 6qt crockpot. If you'd like to omit the step of adding ramekins and if you only have a large CrockPot (4qts or larger), simply double the recipe to serve 8, in order to ensure that there is enough inside of the crockpot so it won't burn on you. As a rule of thumb, CrockPots work the best when they are at least 2/3 of the way full. I also cut the sugar content back from the original Recipe, and I used plain non-fat yogurt instead of buttermilk. Crockpot Blueberry Buckle Recipe Crumble: --2 T granulated sugar --2T dark brown sugar --1/4 cup of flour --1/4 t ground cinnamon --2 T butter, melted Filling: --2 cups fresh blueberries (if you do not have access to fresh, use unsweetened frozen) --1/2 T lemon juice --1/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt --1/2 cup flour --3 T granulated sugar --1 egg In a large glass bowl, mix all ingredients for the filling, except for the blueberries. Wash and pick any remaining stems off of your blueberries, and then toss them in the bowl with the filling. Set aside. In a different glass bowl, melt your butter, and add the dry ingredients. Mix. The crumbs will be moist, and crumbly. If you are using ramekins, place them into the bottom of your crockpot to ensure a proper fit. Spray the ramekins with cooking spray. If you are going to put the batter directly into the crockpot, spray the stoneware with cooking spray. Put the blueberry filling evenly into the ramekins, or dump directly into your crockpot. Add the crumb topping. Cover and cook on high for 3-5 hours, removing the lid of the crockpot during the last 45 minutes or so to crisp up the topping. This dessert is finished when the crumb topping has set and is no longer dough-y. I cooked ours on high for exactly 4 hours. The crumb topping was set, and was a bit crisp on the outer edges, but remained a bit damp in the center. This didn't bother us, but if you'd like it set a bit more, cook longer. Hope Your Thursday's Terrific, Phil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 boneless skinless turkey breast (2 to 3 pounds)

1‑1/2 cups orange juice

Place onion in slow cooker. Combine garlic, rosemary and pepper in small bowl; set aside. Cut slices about three-fourths of the way through turkey at 2-inch intervals. Rub garlic mixture between slices.

Place turkey, cut side up, in slow cooker. Pour orange juice over turkey. Cover; cook on LOW 7 to 8 hours.

Serve sauce from slow cooker with sliced turkey.

Have A Fantastic Weekend,

Phil
