Impossibly Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Stracciatella Soup

Stracciatella soup is often referred to as "Italian egg drop soup," which is fine, but knowing the name actually means little, torn rags or shreds works so much better metaphorically. When you've been run ragged, stracciatella is always there for you. As you eat this, hopefully with some nice crusty bread, imagine all those little "rags" floating in the bowl are all your torn-up problems, both real and imagined. They were there, and then they were gone. You just won — with soup.

Chef John's Swedish Meatballs

Swedish meatballs, traditionally served with boiled potatoes and lingonberry preserves, are a hearty meal the whole family will love!

Smoked Fish Dip

I think this fish dip recipe is world-class and puts most others to shame! It is served in several prominent restaurants on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Serve with crackers, lemon or lime wedges, and capers.

Phyllis’s Homemade Baked Mac & Cheese

You'll love Phyllis's homemade baked mac & cheese. It begins with a stovetop cheese sauce stirred with elbow macaroni, and finishes in the oven with more Cheddar and seasoned breadcrumbs baked on top. There's also a version with sauteed shrimp that you really must try.

Marinated Pretzels

These seasoned pretzels make a great party appetizer. They are best made with large, salted sourdough pretzels. The marinade gives them a delicious, savory flavor that goes well with any drink.
