One Pot Roast Chicken

Stuck on what to cook for dinner tonight? Look no further—my one-pot roast chicken has you covered! I could practically make this blindfolded since it's a weekly go-to in my kitchen. It’s super easy but still tastes like you’ve put hours of love into it. Just brown the chicken in a large pot, toss it in the oven with your favorite veggies and herbs, and let it cook for about 50 minutes. That’s it!

And the best part? If you’ve got leftovers, tomorrow’s chicken, lettuce, and mayo sandwich is ready to go!

Nonna’s Italian Lentil Soup

As a recipe developer, I often get asked where I get my love for cooking, and unsurprisingly to anyone who's tasted her food, it comes from my Nonna Anna. Having worked as a restaurant cook after migrating to Australia she sure knows how to make any recipe taste amazing, especially this one - her lentil soup. 

It’s a humble dish with just a few ingredients, but the secret to her recipes is time. She always takes the time to cook things low and slow, never rushing the process. Now I know this might seem like a simple recipe, but there’s something so deliciously comforting about it, and now that I have the recipe, I know it’ll be a regular part of my weekly meal plan!
