Cioppino Seafood Stew

By Epicurious

Delicious and easy to make fish stew. I used a frozen seafood mix and that worked well. The clam juice  adds good layer to the complexity. I would cook the whole fennel. The stew could use more vegetables. Tasts like a good fish soup with good compllexity.

Special Ingredients:

- seafood and fish

- fennel

- cellery

- clam juice

- baguette

Will I make it again? - yes. Excellent fish soup but will look for a different recipe to try.

Chrispy Chicken Cutlets with Tomato Panzanella

Bright and light summer dinner. I would add a side of potatoes for a heartier fall meal. I was glad to use the garden tomatoes. Although the recipe calls for cherry tomatoes, which I will have to try next time. The croutons turned out delicious. I used Italian bread from Trader Joes and cut them into cubes. Did not put all the vinegar, and the panzanella was sour enough. I added some home grown basil which really set the whole flavor.

Will I make it again? - yes. Will add a side of potatoes next time.
