Beginning with my Fast Chicken Soup Base it is easy to knock hours off of the cooking time usually needed for homemade chicken soup and still end up with soup that tastes even better than the 'from scratch' method. With a little creativity you can easily make two varieties of these soul-satisfying meals.
This is a great salad for the summer heat. It is light and very quick to make. And even my kids like it. Serve with French bread for a great combination.
Herb-infused tomatoes tango with garlic, artichokes, and cream a dance that renders pasta sauce with Mediterranean flair. Garnish this Garlic-Artichoke Pasta with your favorite cheese and sliced olives.
Eggplant slices are dipped in egg and bread crumbs and then baked, instead of fried. The slices are layered with spaghetti sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
My granddaughters just love this chicken dish. I try to make it every time they come to visit. Lucky for me, it goes together quick as a wink in the microwave.--Miriam Christophel, Battle Creek, Michigan
Fresh and flavorful, this pasta primavera chock full of vegetables makes a lovely entree for spring. A combination of equal parts milk and cream, half-and-half creates a silky, full-bodied sauce.
