When the weather turns frigid and viruses thrive, many care givers turn to chicken soup to provide healing nourishment. Steam opens up nasal passages. The aroma reminds your sluggish brain that food is a good thing. Broth settles soothingly in your tummy, warming you, and helping your body build strength to fight that virus. One of these great soup recipes, followed by a good tuck in with a blanket, is the next best thing to a prescription from the doctor.

If you’re looking for a way to make your food dollars and your cooking efforts go further, think cheap chicken dinners. A whole chicken can go a long way. Once a month, my husband and I buy a fresh chicken from a local farm. Because I think this fresh local chicken tastes so amazing, I get really excited about the delicious chicken recipes we can make with our special purchase.

Making recipe swaps isn’t all about cutting calories. You may know about some obvious swaps to healthify a recipe such as using low-fat instead of full-fat milk or using a sugar substitute instead of sugar.
