I treasure a nice, flavorful soup. In 2019, my goal is to make some soups that don’t include tomatoes – it feels like I’m always pulling out two cans of diced tomatoes. That being said, there is something irresistible about a good, flavor filled tomato soup. And that is this one. I found the recipe…
A couple days ago I made a list of all the leftover ingredients in my fridge and tried to figure out a way to use them – or just not waste them entirely. The list included: Christmas ham, sour cream, and radishes. Radishes are admittedly an odd one. I barely like them so this might…
When I first moved into my new house, I brought with me 11 cans of diced tomatoes. It was nuts. Thanks to my recent run of soups and stews and chilis, I have many fewer cans in my inventory. In the near future I might have to add “diced tomatoes” back to my shopping list…
This post is heavily delayed but I wanted to write it none the less. I think this past summer’s tomato varieties were the best yet. I almost wouldn’t change anything except for the fact that I like trying new varieties too much. I got too busy last year and never wrote a 2017 recap, but…
I have watched a whole lot of “Great British Baking Show” this year… and one thing that seems pervasive on that show is people screwing up a rolled dough. In their defense, it is usually a sponge cake and that seems hard. But, I absolutely had flashbacks to the show when I was making these…
I’m not sure when I became a fan of gingersnaps, but it most certainly hasn’t been my entire life. So, any time I have the opportunity to try a ginger cookie…. I will. My default favorite are the Trader Joes version. They are delightfully small but have chunks of ginger in them. So what makes…
Cold weather immediately calls for chili. I like chili for the meat and the comforting meal. I’m not in it for the spice or heat. I am however completely in it for the shredded cheese. It’s like the “make your own sundae” of soups. I did a sweet potato and kale soup at some point…
It’s soup season! My life is a little different these days so I don’t necessarily need “travel friendly” meals like soup as much – but it is just so hard to fight the urge to make soup. When people say they don’t like cooking for just one person, I feel like they haven’t tried soup…
At some point before Thanksgiving I discovered the “Great British Baking Show” on Netflix… and since then I haven’t really looked back. I like it so much that I won’t watch it as I’m falling asleep because I need to pay attention to who is star baker and who doesn’t quite measure up each week. …
I haven’t been cooking nearly as much in recent months so when I saw my friend Becca was coordinating a cookie swap…. I signed up fast. I needed a push to experiment… and what better than to try and impress strangers via the mail. This recipe is a combination of two forces. One? I did…
