Spicy Pork + Kale Soup
Thanks to our good friends at Lost Burn Farm, I had a ton of organic locally grown kale picked yesterday. Our first rainy Friday night of winter worked out to be a perfect. We had some vino, good friends and the fire going. I was waiting for a night like this to finally experiment with this recipe given to me by my bestie and favorite foodie friend Megan Nutt. I of course had to alter some things to make it healthy and put my spin on it.

This soup is great to make when you are sick or even when you just feel like having a light healthy meal. The broth is both soothing and spicy, rich in flavors. I finally had an appetite after being sick so I decided to add chicken to mine.
Read MorePosole (Pozole)
Posole is a traditional hominy-based Mexican stew. This is a healthy broth based soup that has so many varieties. You can throw it together real quick and make it simple like I did last night, or make Red Posole which is one more step (steps are explained below). No matter what type of Posole you make, I promise it will be a hit. Of course there are a few ingredients you must have like hominy and pork (or chicken) to make this dish, but from there you can get creative and use whatever ingredients you have in the house.

Read MorePops Lentil Soup
I made this recipe with my 89 year old Italian Grandpa we call pops as some of you know. He is a perfect example of how significant an influence our genetics have on us... He also proves most doctors, nutritionist, and people in my field WRONG. Smoking 2 packs of non-filtered Camel cigarettes a day for over 50 years, eating 2-3 eggs a day, not exercising, consuming large quantities of alcohol, and eating most food that comes out of a package, bread, pasta, and cured meats... an Italian should ;) This legend reads a book a day and has not lost any of his memory and continues to expand his intelligence as each day presents itself. I am not saying that any of the above things he does are something any of you should do, but damn I hope he passed me down some of these genes to live to be old, wise and "healthy".

Read MoreCioppino (Family Style)
Cioppino is a tasty Italian fish and shellfish stew. My dad grew up in an Italian household where this was a regular dish. Tonight when we were making this he informed me that this stew was created during the Depression because seafood was cheap, and families could throw it all in large pot and serve a hearty stew.
