Brodo
The latest food craze that I've heard about is Brodo, which is simply "broth" in Italian. Apparently people are discovering the wonderful goodness that is homemade chicken, beef or vegetable broth. Well, I for one, have been making Brodo for at least 30 years, nothing new to me. The frugality of using leftover chicken carcass or beef bones when on sale appeals to me in a great way. And homemade broths make the best soups, stews, etc.

Chili con Carne
2/1/15 - 2/11/15
I used the big oval pot twice to make two huge batches of chili. 11 pounds of chuck roast in all. It was for the big Howie and Renee Diamond family get together here at our house but enough was made to freeze and use for the next big gathering at our house. I used one of Elise's recipes again. Her recipes are so tried and true. You can find the recipe here.
This past Monday I made a nice homemade chicken curry in the round pot.

It's all about that soup, 'bout that soup, no chowder.....
Week of 1/25-1/31
We here at Chez Klein are slightly under the weather, not full out sick but almost. Lots of kleenex is getting used and once again my new Le Creuset is being used to make chicken stock for soup. I made one batch last Sunday with chicken carcass and various parts from the freezer. Today I've bought about 3 pounds of chicken legs and roasted them. They are now in the big oval pot simmering gently on the stove. Hannah is all better now, but Rachel and I are the ones who are sniffling.

Week of January 18-24
Well things are really slowing down cooking wise, which is a good thing. We're back to a good routine and that means quicker, easier week night menu planning. I only used one of my Le Creuset pots this week when I used the large oval pot to make four quarts of turkey stock. I got a 12 pound turkey at Target for $8.64. That turkey gave us one dinner and several lunches before all of it went into the stock pot.

One Herb that Does it All
Turmeric.......
Chicken thighs with turmeric and sumac! I love this recipe. The recipe is courtesy The Splendid Table and you can find it here. Also, turmeric is very good for you, apparently it has natural anti-oxident compounds.
