Homemade Chicken Broth
Yesterday’s whole chicken brings us to ~ Step 2, heavenly Homemade Chicken Broth. Once I began to save veggie scraps and chicken carcasses on a regular basis, I knew homemade chicken stock was in our future. There are several methods to choose from when making chicken broth. A good old heavy pot with snug fitting lid works well, as does your crockpot or instant pot.

Oregano Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken
Oregano Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken. One night every week we cook a whole chicken for dinner. Sometimes we work hard to create interesting and different flavors by changing up the fresh herbs or marinade or even cooking style. Sometimes we just sprinkle her with salt & pepper and roast her until she’s done…on these days it’s not uncommon that we also stand at the counter hand picking our way through dinner.

Chicken Marbella
We were first introduced to Chicken Marbella at a dinner party. Not just any dinner party, but a monthly affair that revolved around a different theme chosen by the host couple. We were each assigned a course and often a specific recipe to bring together to share.

Fresh Veggie Pancakes with Tomato Salad
Fresh Veggie Pancakes with Tomato Salad. Today is the day I must use up the remains of this weekend’s produce run. I am guilty of over buying (yes dear I am admitting it) and also of over eating (claiming that one too…..boy feels good to get that out). However, I also think I’m pretty darn good at whipping up a dish from what’s left in the fridge that needs to be eaten by tomorrow.

Eggplant Parmesan {with Roasted Tomatoes}
Eggplant Parmesan is one of my most favorite Italian dishes, what’s not to love about something breaded, fried, and topped with melted cheese. It’s also super simple to make.

Skillet Creamed Spinach with Eggs & Bacon
Skillet Creamed Spinach with Eggs & Bacon. I’m so intrigued by baked eggs. Mostly because I love eggs, but also because I like the idea of nestling them into a well of savory goodness where they take on the flavors that surround them. Getting to use my awesome mini cast iron skillets is a bonus. This is a perfect brunch recipe.

Watermelon Gazpacho & Tropical Watermelon Soup with Peach Purée {Share the Love}
Passion. Someone once said to me “I’ve been trying to put my finger on it when people ask me to describe you. And the word that comes to mind is passion.” And so we will credit that very ‘passion’ with turning the discovery of National Watermelon Day into a full out watermelon event at work today.

Quinoa Salad with Fruits & Citrus ~ Quinoa Salad with Crisp Summer Veggies {Sundays with Shelby}
A family tradition seems to be forming here. Sunday’s with Shelby. I like it. It’s a chance for me to dabble with recipes that will entice my kid to get out of bed and head my way. She is becoming a wonderful cook herself and now brings us samples of her latest culinary creations. Today we exchanged Quinoa Salad recipes.

Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Tomatoes
Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Tomatoes. Using ingredients we have on-hand and turning them in to savory goodness makes me happy. Cut tops off tomatoes and using a melon baller gently remove seeds. Fill with prepared spinach artichoke dip. Top with grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt & cracked pepper.
