Chicken Scarpariello
Our friend Melanie made this Chicken Scarpariello, which is a classic Italian-American dish. Scarpariello translates to "shoemaker" in Italian, and the dish is thought to be named so either because the ingredients can be "cobbled together" quickly, like a shoemaker might, or because the dish was traditionally eaten by poor shoemakers who could afford its simple ingredients; the exact origin of the name is unclear. The origins of the recipe don’t matter, it was incredibly delicious. It’s sweet, savory, and tangy.

Lemony White Bean Soup with Turkey and Greens
Truth be told, I am not a fan of turkey. So when my husband started boiling up the turkey carcass and announced he was making soup, I immediately found a recipe that's in my mind, a step up from your ordinary soup. The addition of lemon brightens the whole thing up. We left out the kale for my Dad's portion because he often used the word UGH when it comes to anything remotely green! He did an excellent job and I rather liked it!

I saw Stanley Tucci make this Pasta e Ceci and I was intrigued. It's a recipe by Julius Roberts, a cookbook author who left his job at a London restaurant to become a farmer. Pasta e ceci, or pasta with chickpeas, is a classic Italian dish that is both simple and satisfying. It's a great example of peasant cuisine, which emphasizes using simple, affordable ingredients to create delicious meals. All I can say is that this is incredibly flavorful and so delicious.

Corn Chowder with Miso and Scallions
This Corn Chowder with Miso and Scallions takes a fresh approach. Instead of relying on dairy for creaminess, the vegetables get puréed, which enhances the corn's sweetness and the potato's earthiness. The miso's rich umami flavor replaces the need for traditional ingredients like salt pork or chicken broth, resulting in a vegetarian-friendly yet deeply satisfying soup.
