Classic Chicken Noodle Soup

February 15, 2020

Classic Chicken Noodle Soup is the epitome of the “cure all soup”. It is comforting and delicious, it reminds us of childhood, it is what we crave when we’re under the weather and knowing how to make a good pot of soup from scratch is a good skill to have in your arsenal. From easy lentil soup to langostino chowder, you’ll be able to create anything.

Once you master the basics of making a good pot of soup, it opens up infinite possibilities to all of the variations you can make.

Homemade chicken noodle soup isn’t exactly groundbreaking, earth-shattering, cutting-edge haute cuisine, but something everyone should have in their arsenal. When it’s good, it’s really good and it possesses inexplicable magic.

A good bowl of classic chicken noodle soup can make you feel so much better when you’re not feeling your best. It satisfies your soul and can warm you to the core on a bone-chilling day.

Baked turkey meatballs are a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Pair these tender, juicy turkey meatballs with pasta or veggies and your favorite sauce or serve them as a tasty appetizer for your next game day party.

There isn’t anything particularly spectacular about a turkey meatball, except they are ridiculously good. I love a good meatball, like these Mediterranean lamb meatballs, because they are so versatile and I can make a big batch and freeze some for later when I’m too tired to cook.

Best Ham Glaze Recipe

April 3, 2019

This is the best ham glaze recipe I have ever tasted. With just a touch of heat and a bit of bite from the mustard to balance the sweetness of the honey, this glaze hits all the right notes. Sweet, sticky, caramelized edges give way to juicy slices of ham packed with flavor. This ham will be the star of your holiday dinner and the best side to go with it is everyone’s favorite 5 ingredient easy corn casserole. 

Spiral sliced hams are fully cooked, making them ideal for large gatherings. All you have to do is layer on a flavorful glaze and heat it in the oven.  Five minutes of hands on time is all you need for a juicy, flavorful Easter ham.
