Stone Ground Mustard Drumsticks

Her Story

“I manage to sneak in healthy recipes for my family, and Bell & Evans makes it very easy. When you start with quality ingredients, you can’t go wrong. But if you had told me ten years ago that I would win a chicken recipe contest, I would have said, “Impossible!” because back then, I couldn’t eat chicken at all.

Twenty-eight years ago, I had to stop eating all poultry, because I was getting severe migraine headaches.  To make a long story short, antibiotics and processing chemicals were eventually found to be the cause.  I was told that even organic poultry was processed with dangerous chemicals, so I should just avoid poultry in any form.

I missed chicken, but I learned to live without it.  Then a few years ago, I ran across the Bell & Evans web site.  I read every detail about their product and decided to try a small amount to see if I got sick.  I did not get sick!  From that day forward, I was a Bell & Evans girl.   I believe that Bell & Evans’ humane and sanitary policies make a huge difference in taste, safety, and quality.

Food quality is a focal point in my life because I work on a sensory spectrum panel for a well-known food producer.  Our job is to define and measure product attributes, so I know flavor.

That’s why I panicked a little last year when my doctor told me, ‘No more fried foods and watch your salt intake’, and so I had to come up with some new recipes.  I chose ingredients that would layer well and complement each other.
