Italian Wedding Soup

 

Tender meatballs, veggies, and pasta in a rich and flavorful broth, Italian wedding soup is a meal unto itself.

Once Upon a Chef

Fall Soups

Abigail had a nice fire crackling. On the stove, a pot of pasta e fagioli

soup simmered. She’d baked a pretty little round of olive bread, put together a

mixed salad she intended to toss with raspberry vinaigrette.

All the work she’d earmarked for the day was complete. She’d spent ninety

minutes on weights and cardio, exercised Bert.

She was going to treat herself to dinner and a movie—maybe even a double

feature, with popcorn for the follow-up.

Nora Roberts' Scalloped Potatoes

She wouldn't trust him to carve the pork roast, which was vaguely insulting, but did so herself as she steamed asparagus. 

Brody decided not to complain, as the meat smelled incredible and he noted

there was a serving of scalloped potatoes in his immediate future.

Kitchen Sink Soup

“It can’t be more or less. It’s not like cooking up a kitchen-sink soup.”

Blood Magick

 At home I often make a variation called Kitchen Sink Soup, where everything but the kitchen sink goes into the pot to simmer away. What doesn’t seem like much to begin with can add up to something quite satisfying.

On impulse, she got out a pot. Then minced, chopped, poured, tossed in cubes of herbs

she’d frozen the summer before. With a kettle of soup simmering, she went back up to

finish her orders.

An hour later, she came down to stir, then glanced toward the window as she heard a

car. Surprised, pleased, she hurried to the door to greet Jack.

“Well, hi.”

“I had a meeting, and managed to wrap it up early. I left my jacket here again, so I

thought I’d swing by on my way … You’re cooking?”

“I took a walk, and it started cooling off, which put me in the mood for kitchen sink

soup. There’s plenty, if you’re interested.”

Chicken Soup for the Soul

"Don't you get up, you poor thing. I brought you some of my chicken soup."

"Oh, Penny, that's so thoughtful!" Patty sprang up to take the flowers. "I never thought of food, 

or flowers. I never thought-"

"Of course you didn't. How could you, with so much on your mind? 

Cilla, I'm going to heat you up a bowl right now. 

My chicken soup's good for anything. Colds, flu, bumps, bruises, 

lovers' spats and rainy days."

When you're sick, there are few things more nourishing than a warm, savory bowl of chicken soup. Though soup recipes vary, chicken broth is a remedy for cold and flu symptoms utilized around the world; its magic is recognized almost ubiquitously.

Your November Casserole Meal Plan

"It smells wonderful."

"Good." Scooping up two hot pads, Sam bent down to the oven. 

"I left it on warm." He drew out a casserole of bubbly lasagna.

Food wasn't something that usually excited her, but now 

the scent alone drew her over to his side. How long had it been since 
she'd seen someone take a homemade meal out of an oven? "It looks wonderful, too."

''My mother always told me food tastes better if it looks good.''

How To Make The Best Minestrone Soup

She smiled, spooned up soup. “To Syl.”

“Okay.” He sampled. “Wait.” Sampled again. “This is really good. Like dinner-in-Tuscany good.”

“She’d love to hear that. Mostly, I think Sylvia’s developed too close an attachment to tofu and strange grains of rice. 
But when she does minestrone, she’s a genius.”

The Search

My Grandma’s easy minestrone soup recipe is one of the healthiest vegetable-loaded soups you’ll make, and it tastes far better than any of those Olive Garden copycat recipes thanks to the secret ingredient in the savory broth.

“It’s twenty degrees, and after pancakes, we’re going to 
be shoveling this snow 
and freezing our asses off. 
Why can’t it always be summer?” 

“We hardly ever get pancakes in the summer. 
Crepes maybe, but it’s not the same.”

Gooey Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

 "You cooked breakfast, so I'll fix dinner," she said and got out the wine. 

"I'm not much of a cook, so you'll have to make do with my fallback meal."

"And what might that be?"

"Soup from a can and grilled cheese sandwiches."

"Sounds like just the trick on a rainy night."

eat when you're depressed

Just a headache didn't send a woman bolting out of someone's house as if the devil were on her heels.
Which was exactly how Gladys had described it. "You look pretty rough, honey, so I'm going to fix you the traditional Todd family restorer."
 

"I'm not much in the kitchen, but I can manage this—just like my mother did when one of us wasn't feeling right. Got any jelly?"

It was right in front of his face, she thought crossly. What was it about men that struck them blind the minute they opened a refrigerator door? "Second shelf."

"I don't—oh, yeah. We always used grape, but strawberry should work. Go ahead and work. Don't mind me."
 

"What are you fixing?"
"Scrambled eggs and rolled-over jelly sandwiches."

5 Foods To Eat When You're Depressed

Foods That Boost Mood

 

Feeling blue? Many people seek comfort from favorite foods like chocolate kisses, salty chips, and pillowy pastries when they're feeling down. But if you really want to boost your mood, make different choices, nutritionists say. 

 Although clinical depression is a serious illness that requires treatment beyond nutrition, changing what you eat can help beat garden-variety blues caused by stress, and will boost low energy, too.
