February 7
So it’s almost meatless Monday with this Olive Garden favorite. This pasta dish is filled with lots of fresh vegetables. You know sometimes when I am in a hurry I will stop at my grocery store’s salad bar to pick up fresh vegetables that area already cut up, washed, and ready to go. Of course this recipe is wonderful because it is flexible, I would encourage you to use what you already have on hand before going to the grocery store.

French Onion soup is a warm and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter evening. The secret to this type of soup is to let your onions caramelize for a long time. This is a step you almost want to forget about while the onions are cooking away. What makes this version extra special is using both chicken and beef broth. The layering of these broths makes this taste extra good.

Who doesn’t love a delicious rich and creamy pasta sauce with chicken? This sauce is unique as it contains blue cheese to flavor this dish up. This recipe is from the great Biltmore Estates, so no one can accuse you of not being fancy in your cooking.
