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!

This dish got its beginnings as a beef stroganoff recipe given to me by my Mom…I decided that I would add some brandy and chicken thighs to it and this is the result. A luxurious weeknight dish that tastes like it took hours to make! Don’t be shy with the lemon and the salt at the end of the cooking-the sauce can really stand up to a strong hand with the seasoning.

An easy stock that can be used for chicken soup and for many sauces and recipes. This stock is easy to make and will give you sauces a depth of flavor unattainable from store bought. Remember not to let your stock boil, as this will create a cloudy stock that will look unappetizing when you use it in soups.

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.

You can use a store bought chicken and stock here but for the best flavor I recommend making them both from scratch-the flavor will be much better and both recipes can be found here and are quite simple to do!
