Homemade chicken soup (for the soul)

Homemade chicken soup that’s made from scratch is blissful comfort cooking at its best. To the broth, add in rice or barley from the night before. Transform this ordinary bowl into scrappy cooking at its best by using bruised carrots and wilted spinach and other greens from the bottom of the crisper and fresh window-sill herbs like basil and mint. 

Build-a-bowl

This dish is a combination of different textures and flavours and comes together in a glorious DIY bowl. Customize your bowl per your preference! It's an excellent option for those messy weeknights when you’re checking emails and the kids have homework and you’re dragged in a million different directions.

Baked chicken chilaquiles

Inspired by a traditional Mexican breakfast that is normally served with eggs, these Chilaquiles are flavourful and comforting like the original but also easy to pull together on a busy weeknight. Without fail, this is a dish that will soothe and transport you to sunshine and warm skies.
