Chicken Noodle Soup

I have made chicken noodle soup for many sick clients over the years. There is something so cathartic about making soup.It's easy on the stomach and it is just what your body needs. Grandmother’s chicken soup was and is the ultimate cure for colds and new medical research says that chicken soup really does work just like Grandma always said it did.

Lemon Saffron Israeli Couscous

I used to buy this Lemon Saffron Israeli Couscous mix in a box from a supermarket, which is now gone out of business. My daughter Zoe loved it, so I recreated it. Israeli couscous is different from the North African version, which has a more fine-grained, fluffy texture. Israeli couscous has larger, pearl-like balls that cook up with a chewy texture that is similar to pasta.
