This is a staple in our house and I always make it after Thanksgiving as it’s a great way to use up Leftover Turkey. You can also use Chicken, Sausage or Meatballs.

 

  • Two cleaned Carrots , chopped
  • Two Stalks Celery, chopped
  • 1/2 Onion, chopped
  • 6 Cloves of Garlic, chopped
  • Water or broth to fill up 1/2 to 2/3rd of large pot
  • Cut up Chicken or Turkey (or Whole Meatballs or Sliced Sausage)
  • 1-2 Scrambled Eggs
  • Several  handfuls of Spinach (about 1/2 package but can vary).
  • 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Bring water to a boil in and add vegetables (except Spinach).

 

Let simmer to make a vegetable broth.

 

Add poultry or meat or sausage.

 

Add Spinach, push down to cover with simmering liquid.

 

When Spinach is cooked, swirl in the Egg and then immediately swirl in the Parmesan.

 

Serve hot.

Classic Sangria with a kick

Sangria with BrandyThis recipe can be adjusted so easily to suit your tastes. It makes me really happy that whenever I make it, people rave. My friend Mary Ann told me it’s the best Sangria she’s ever had. It is a great drink to serve at a Paella dinner instead of multiple bottles of wine which can be expensive. The secret is both the concentrated orange (or lime)  juice and the additional liquor.

 

  • 1 Bottle Cheap Red Wine
  • 1/4 can Concentrated Orange or Lime Juice (or combo)
  • 1 Cup Cognac
  • 1/2 Cup Triple Sec
  • 2 Sliced Apples, Limes, Oranges
  • 1 Cup of frozen, seedless grapes (a fun touch but optional).

 

Mix to combine in pitcher. When ready to serve pour over ice and top with seltzer water.
