Feeling veggie-venturous? This hearty soup is a great way to sample some winter root vegetables that may be new to you. Go ahead and get crazy… mix in a few rutabagas, turnips, parsnips, or celeriac with your common carrots and potatoes. Even my avowed vegetable-hating father-in-law agreed that the results are delicious.
The first step in this recipe is to make a pot of nutritious homemade chicken stock. Wait, wait, wait, before you stop reading: if you’re new to stock, it’s really not difficult or time consuming. Plus, it tastes great [Continue reading ...]

Stir fry is a handy technique to have in your repertoire. Like my favorite Savorra recipes, stir fry is fast, plus it can be a tasty way to turn an assortment of on-hand vegetables into a meal. I made this stir fry last week, just based on the ingredients we happened to have on hand, and it turned out to be one of the tastiest I have made. As an extra bonus, it is not spicy at all so it will be great for guests if you have one non-spicy [Continue reading ...]
