Slice potatoes, place on bottom of Dutch oven.
Take a whole chicken, stuff the middle with lemon slices, sprinkle kosher salt, rosemary, thyme, and sage on skin.
Stick into oven and cook.
Carve like a turkey.

The things I make every week are neither fabulous nor gourmet Wink . But when I have guests and want a little extra, I love the duo poppy seed salad from Fresh and Easy. I also often make the apple crumble from Chic Made Easy with variations on the fruit filling. Chicken is almost always on a bed of onions, seasoned with salt, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder and covered with cranberry sauce. Some other easy nice sides are pastrami pockets and chicken wontons.

I appreciate using interesting ingredients but I don't make things with lots of steps. We are having beef and broccoli with baked rice with crumbs this week.

I'm
A fabulous gourmet cook, but I work as a caterer and I'm just too freaking tired to cook specially most weeks. We keep it simple and delicious.

I'm a great cook-- but my kids won't eat fancy concoctions, and DH also prefers simple. I absolutely cannot cook the same thing every week-- it makes me crazy.
Last shabbos I made a fabulous rice stuffed chicken with parsely and carrots and fried onions in the rice with a turmeric, paprika salt and pepper rub.
This week we're starting with loads of fresh salads-- curried cauliflower, roasted mushrooms, freekeh pilaf- -then red lentil soup, semolina stewed chicken with cous cous etc.
I vary every single week, but usually do the chicken soup-- this week decided to go for a different soup that I haven't made in a while

I love cooking and creating new recipes. Last week we had

Waldorf Chicken Salad (so filling, it was its own course.)

Shoulder Roast

Potato Kugel

Nougat ice cream with warm brownies

This week the main dish is a new chicken lo mein. I might make a pulled beef salad.

We try to vary the menu each week. One trademark we usually have though is a very rich, creamy chicken soup.

In all our dishes, we like using varied herbs and spices. Makes it so delicious and gives each dish a unique, deep flavor.

Sure! I developed it with a friend a few years ago with lots of test trials, hope you enjoy.

Chicken Soup

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast, cubed

Vegetables:

1 zucchini/courgette, cut into chunks (optional)

1 sweet potato, cut into small chunks

1 small potato, cut into chunks

A bag of carrots, julienned (the thicker strips -don't julienne too thin)

1 onion, quartered


Spices:

1 T salt, then add more to taste when it’s almost finished cooking

1 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1 1/2 T Rosemary

2 T Bay leaves

2 T Garlic Powder

2-3 cloves minced garlic


Put a very thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pot, and put all the ingredients in. Mix very well. DON”T add any water now. Sweat the mixture - this means let it cook on a low flame, covered, for half an hour. This will let all the flavors blend, and the vegetables will sweat out their juices. Don’t open the pot even once during this period.

In the meantime, boil water. After half hour of sweating, open the pot and immediately pour the boiling water in. Mix and cover pot again. Leave the pot on a low flame and let it slow cook for 4-6 hours.

-----

Tip: If you like kneidlach/matza balls, cook it directly in the pot, it will be deliciously flavored.

Your house will smell heavenly.

Lmk if you have any questions.

side dishes varies week by week: I make orzo, crispy roast potatoes, persian rice, easy baked rice, majedra, potato kugel, mushroom knish, mashed potatoes...
dessert also varies: apple crumble with custard, brownies, choc cake, choc chip sticks, lemon pie.
Always fresh fruit and often ice cream.
