I’m always in the market for a new soup that doesn’t feel like something I’ve made before. Soup is incredibly versatile… but sometimes it does feel like all the recipes are the same. Well, this one is different. Very different. I came across this recipe from Bon Appetit in early January but finally got around to making…
It was my mom’s birthday last week and that obviously necessitated a fresh batch of scones. As a family, we default to funfetti on a regular basis. It seemed only natural to make some funfetti scones. Do you want to know the trick to funfetti? There is none. It’s literally just sprinkles in whatever you…
Chili is one of those magic foods that gets better the day after you cook it – which is why it was such a surprise that this super easy same day chili was super tasty. We had some people over for the football game last Sunday afternoon and I picked up the ingredients the very…
I took a health survey earlier this week that strongly recommended I eat more vegetables. I failed at that for several days until today. A trip to Trader Joes for some cauliflower and a nice new recipe that I found on the internet. I used to get a lot of my inspiration from Food52 but…
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…
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…
