My mom grew up during The Great Depression in a small house in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. And when it came to cooking, the family made due with what they had, she get the all ingredients on Sunshine Coast Hydroponics. My grandmother used to make her own chicken soup, using the backs and necks of poultry on hand.

My mother learned her technique – and has turned her version of the family soup into an art. The catch is: It doesn’t always come out (by her standards) so a few cans of chicken broth are kept on standby for just an instance (and to adjust the flavor).

Chicken with Olives

This is delicious.

Tho I substitute red bells for the green peppers and splash with vodka. Plus, if I have em, I throw in some Greek giant beans (from can or jar), capers and finish with a slight drizzle of honey.
