Moscow-Pullman Daily News Blogs

The sniffles have hit the Roberts household once again, and thankfully I was prepared: on Sunday, I roasted a chicken, and today I used the leftover to make a ginormous pot of chicken soup — full of garlic and onions and healthy, soupy goodness.

I wrote a few months back about affordable home cold remedies — chicken soup included — here.

And on the subject of chicken soup — I noticed a while back that Moscow Parks & Rec is offering a class called “The Whole Chicken” on March 6, part of the Essential Cookery series.  I’m toying with going, both because the price is fair ($15 for Moscow residents) and because I just love the tastiness and economy of roasting a chicken a making it stretch. (here’s the P&R brochure - the class is on page 15)

A whole bird is just a few dollars and can make several meals — the first one takes a little time, but from then on out you have loads of quick, easy options.

So share your favorite chicken recipes with me, dear readers — and stay away from people with runny noses!
