chicken ginger soup & maple biscuits.
last night i made one of my all time favorite comfort dinners: chicken ginger soup & maple biscuits. i discovered this recipe combination in real simple years ago, and over time, it's become a staple. i don't add the turnip or scallions & think the whole key to the soup is using fresh ginger. the biscuits are heavenly and oh so easy to make.
as we nestled down for this comfort food, i realized i've shared most of our absolutely favorite recipes: roasted vegetables, whole wheat pasta with tomatoes, tuna pasta, avocado toast, & burgers with hummus & couscous. i still need to share two of my family's most unbelievable recipes: chicken crescents & puffed potatoes. i think these recipes have been so well used because they turned out pretty great the first time i made them (so i was encouraged to make them again!), have really fresh ingredients, incredible flavor & were clear winners with ryan. i also think there's a balance in that they require some work, but are relatively simple. i also know them well enough to love preparing them.
we had pandora on last night & the music was just so great; ryan was doing some work in the family room & i was chopping vegetables in the kitchen -- it all just felt so right. a nourishing meal on the way, the time to prepare it & someone i love going through life with just a room away. feeling blessed & grateful.

You have such a fantastic outlook on life! It keeps me honest, and keeps me positive. Reading T&F each morning always starts me off on the right foot. Thanks for making me appreciate all the blessings in my life as you appreciate yours. You've got the right idea about this life.
yep, i know what you mean. it's so nice to take a step back and just appreciate where you are. when you look at it that way, nothing can tear you down.
ps. those scones look fantastic :)
Can't wait for the recipes for crescent chicken and puffed potatoes. I will keep watching for it
This is the perfect sickie soup. I was sick the past few days and craved some chicken soup. Thanks for sharing!
