This is my Hearty Chicken Soup, my Mother told me when I was a little girl it could cure anything!Of course I believed her, but I wish it could also change things too like this weather. Yuck.:(It has gone from Bad to Worse with Frozen Rain yesterday and that Wind it made your Bones hurt!All I could do was make Yes a hot delicious Ginger Bean Soup for dinner with a Hot Ham & Avocado sandwich, it was Yummy and good for me too but I would of Loved to be eating a big slice of Watermelon and a Col...

Chicken Soup, has been said to cure almost anything? Fact or Fiction? Maybe it's the comfort that makes Us feel better or maybe it's the memories attached to the soup. Which ever it is it makes Me feel better when I take my first spoonful and when I am completely finished with it I am smiling and feeling a whole lot better too! I wish Life could be that easy don't you? You would go off to where ever and say oh this is not working out how I planned, okay here take a spoonful of this soup and n... Continue reading ...

Hearty Turkey Soup What is your favorite soup during this Winter ?I have many fav's such as the one pictured. Since a Chef never ever throws almost anything away because you might be able to use it in something. Of course it must be okay to do so, but I always save my meat bones and leftovers for soups , they have already been cooked and seasoned so they only need some vegies and broth or gravy added to them and Whala you h...

Italian Sausage SoupRecipes are just guidelines. I have said that comment to people for years. Yes they are necessary when you start a new recipe and you liked how that turned out. But, and here it comes you make it again and say to yourself I wonder if I added this what that would do or how it would taste.
That is how recipes get changed or tweaked like I like to say. I am always tweaking, twisting, and improving on my r... Continue reading ...

Hearty Soups
 Vegetable Beef Soup By Chef Gianna Good soup starts with a good stock, or as laymen would say a good foundation.
This soup pictured started out as a pulled beef recipe and I always make extra because you can turn it into something else later on.
Knowing that when you are preparing a recipe will save you time $$$$ and less stress as you are cooking.
Here is what I did to make this very hearty, healthy delicious soup.
Ingredients:
1 green bell pepper (diced)
1 sweet white onion ( diced)
3 tbsps. Beef Bro...

Hearty Meals
  Cold weather, makes us do layering.
In the food business it makes us start thinking about Hearty Warm Meals!
The one I have pictures of above is a Italian Chicken Stew served over Bow-tie Garlic Pasta.
Made with a Red wine red sauce and lots and lots of chicken, carrots,
and celery this one served with my crusty bread is a Winner!
It is high in flavor, fiber, anti-oxidants, vitamins, and very LOW in CALORIES....!
I usually put some grated Parmesan Cheese on top to add to the deliciousnes... Continue reading ...
 Divadish
& Chef Gianna love, the Farmers Markets. Fall vegetables are still
in abundance and there are so many wonderful choices.
The picture here is just one thing you can make from a good red sauce, and fresh market vegetables.
My freezer would not be Happy if it does not have at least (6-10 )
quarts of soup frozen and waiting to be pulled out for any accompaniment
to a meal or as the whole meal, of course with my crusty bread &
butter.
This soup has a new little twist added to it, m... Continue reading ...
 Divadish believes the best quality and taste comes from making your food in small Batches and by Hand!
This is the only way to make good food says Chef Gianna, and good food is what Divadish is all about.
The picture above is just one of those small batched soups that comes out of our kitchens.
Chef Gianna likes to call it one of her Masterpieces, because it is not a
watery, thinned down version of what other resturants tell you is soup.
It is thicker, full of meats & vegetables, cheeses, ... Continue reading ...

Fall Foods
The leaves are changing color, the daily temperatures are getting cooler, and you can definitely smell Fall in the air.
When these things happen
in Minnesota, we start to think about different warm foods to fill us
up.Or as I like to say put on our food layers so we don't feel the Cold!
Divadish and Chef Gianna knows how we all feel about good food.
Especially
our chilli's, the bowl pictured above has the the right amount of spicy
heat to make your mouth go ahhhhhhhhhhhh, and your tas... Continue reading ...

 My mother use to make a big pot of chicken soup at least once a month when we were kids growing up out East.
She would always say it can cure everything, if you are a little anemic, it helps, if you are a little fluish it helps,
and if you are just plain hungry it fills you up!
No my mother was not Jewish, but she could of been, she had the mannerisms and definitely the hand movements.
When she was a young woman she was a housekeeper for several different
ethnic families and she would gath... Continue reading ...

Soup time!
 "Picture this," as Estelle Getty from Golden Girls use to say before she went into her story!
Soup is always on my menus when I prepare food for my clients.
It adds balance to a meal and can also be a meal when they are as Hearty as the one pictured above.
This soup has a rich red sauce, fresh zucchini,carrots,chunk tomatoes, and egg noodles.
Added a little semi - sweet red wine and good amounts of Italian seasonings.
Simmered
for 6-8 hours and let the flavors come together and HMMMMMMMM... Continue reading ...
Just like my Great-Grandma used to make, except better, because I put more delicious ingredients in it.. Times were tough over 100+ years ago...! Big Chunks of Chicken, loads of veggies, creamy chicken gravy slowed cooked over a 10+ hours, gives you one smooth tasting Chicken/Soup. I usually add the egg noodles after everything is all cooked and flavors are completely blended.
With the cold snap hitting this weekend this will definitely be a winner with my family.
Of course Miss Divadish coul... Continue reading ...
