Soup

Method

Soup

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soup

    In a large pot, combine chicken broth, diced carrots, and diced celery. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, add the shredded chicken, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the parsley just before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Chili

  1. 4

    Cook the Chili

    In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  2. 5

    Add chopped onion, garlic, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until onions are translucent.

  3. 6

    Stir in kidney beans and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sandwich

  1. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise and mustard on two slices of whole wheat bread.

  2. 8

    Layer sliced turkey breast, lettuce leaves, and tomato slices on top of the spread.

  3. 9

    Top with the other two slices of bread and cut in half to serve.

Salad

  1. 10

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices.

  2. 11

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

  3. 12

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Pizza

  1. 13

    Make the Pizza

    Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  2. 14

    Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle oregano.
