If you like minestrone-you’ll love this minestrone. The chicken meatballs cooked in the soup really take this soup to the next level! You can use whatever veggies you like but I found the ones used in this soup to give the best flavor combination!

Haricot vert is a nice choice here, but the bigger American version works just as well. This is a delicious side that goes well with practically any dinner. Great for a quick weeknight side dish that everyone will love.

These grilled morsels are a favorite of mine; sort of an asparagus Caesar salad, if you will. The parmesan and lemon juice play well together with the chargrilled asparagus.

This isn’t the meatloaf your mom made. In this version we caramelize vegetables to bring out their sweet flavor. The use of the pork, veal and beef really give the meatloaf a beautiful texture and the balsamic-ketchup glaze is a sweet and sour note that goes really well with the meatloaf.
