Chicken-Sausage-Tortellini Soup

This soup is easy and delicious. Bump up the red pepper flakes if you like things spicer. Sometimes I skip the chicken thighs and just use sausage and tortellini. Vegetarians can use cannelloni beans and veggie-sausage.

Middle Eastern Spiced Chicken with Eggplant

This dish is aromatic and delicious, but it has a lot of steps. It’s easier—for me, at least—to prep the chicken, cauliflower-rice, and vegetables on Day 1, followed by browning the chicken, roasting the vegetables, and cooking the dish on Day 2.
