During the winter holidays, and especially Thanksgiving, our large and extended family would return to our childhood home in St. Paul and celebrate a grand feast together.  Great fun, great food, a lot of laughter and sometimes a bit of chaos in the kitchen.  When it was gravy time, we all knew to step aside and concede the stove, the whole kitchen, to Grandma Chubby as she prepared her gravy.  No distractions allowed - this was serious business! We're delighted to share our version of Grandma Chubby's turkey gravy, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  Happy Holidays.

One of our family favorites.  Throw away the can and gain flavor without all the salt and additives.  This is the simple chicken noodle soup Brad's daughter Sophie grew up on and still eats every week.  Great chicken stock and packaged ramen noodles (throw away the spice packet) make it work.  For a Thai flair, add Sriracha chili sauce and a bit of Thai fish sauce.  Amazing and healthy.
