Lamb cassoulet is a French white bean and lamp stew. When it comes to lamb, I usually like to season it with rosemary, salt and pepper and grill it. However, I got some lamb shanks on sale so I thought it might be a good time to try something new.

This is an updated recipe (see the original). The main difference is that I played with recipe by adding more seasoning. I think most people tinker with recipes when cooking at home. I just wanted to post this update because I think it worked out really well!

Updated matzo ball soup 2.0 recipe coming soon! Or if you can’t wait, read my first try at matzo ball soup.

It’s a really simple family recipe; I call it a “can” recipe because you just open a bunch of cans and throw it in a pot. I came up with this recipe based off a turkey goulash recipe I saw in “The Biggest Loser: Cookbook”. My nephew Jaden loves it so much he said, “If the president gave you $1 million dollars for this, you should say no”. Gotta love rave reviews from the kids! =)

Chicken mami (pronounced exactly the way it looks “mah-mi”) is a wonderfully simple Filipino chicken noodle soup. Personally I think it celebrates everything about the chicken. Also this was a really cool way to use spare chicken parts I had saved for a broth.
