Parmesan & Herb Quick Bread {with Caramelized Onions}
This month’s issue of Food Network Magazine is all about Quick Breads. Fifty to be exact. I had to throw my hat in the ring and have a go at it. So I made two of them. Two savory breads with fresh herbs and cheeses and aromatics. My kitchen was a swirling aroma happy place.

Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup
Have I got a great new soup recipe for you. If you LOVE Italian Wedding Soup as much as we do, you’re going to adore this Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup.

Spicy Green Sauce
Our new love of North African flavors has led us to discover a unique blend of spices and ingredients. This Spicy Green Sauce from City Kitchen,called chermoula offers just that.

We paired this sauce initially with our North African Chicken, but are certain it would be delicious with fish, beef, or lamb.

Not only do we enjoy a mouth-watering chicken dinner each week, but we then turn bones into broth, and broth into amazing soups and stews. It was B who first discovered Chicken in Milk by Jamie Oliver. In an attempt to change it up each week (Ooo I like that…the “Chicken Change Up”) he began to read endless websites searching for new and interesting whole chicken recipes. There are a ton of them to try….but…

Lemon Blackberry Vinaigrette
Creating wonderful vinaigrettes or marinades is so easy when you have these beautiful ingredients to work with. I started with Peppercorn & Balsamic Poached Pears which yielded a wonderful balsamic reduction to use as the base for my vinaigrette.
