With busy school nights, I’ve been trying all sorts of different make-ahead dinner ideas, including a Five Spice Braised Chicken recipe that I found on Chez Pim.

Curried Tomato Soup with Lentils and Spinach This past summer, I was inspired to start a collection of quick and easy “stone soup” recipes after I saw an article called The kids are all right, but what about the elderly.
