Hearty Chicken Cacciatore Soup with Rice
Great in fall and winter, this delicious, hearty, full-flavored soup is teeming with tasty ingredients... tomatoes, chicken, vegetables, and a healthy body of rice. This is a family-favorite that I threw together. The full aroma will bring them in from outside before it's even done. Garnish with shredded Cheddar or mozzarella if desired.
Best Lemon Zucchini Bread
This lemon zucchini bread recipe has wowed every person my mom made it for, and she has now passed this tried-and-true recipe to me with the same results. If you are tempted to skip the nutmeg, don't! It's the secret ingredient that makes this bread the best. This loaf won't last a day in your house, so it's best to double or triple the recipe to ensure everyone gets a slice. The loaf freezes well, but slice before freezing.
