As previously documented, I was responsible for brining two things to Thanksgiving Dinner. Cranberry Sauce… and Butternut Squash. The cranberry sauce went much better than the squash. The squash was too lumpy and unimpressive. I tried to fix it by adding candied walnuts and that was really just a bandaid for a bad dish. So…
I had broccoli cheddar soup the other day for lunch and it was pretty solid – but like grocery store solid, not like “make at home” solid. It reminded me that I had this recipe flagged from last winter but had not gotten around to it. To be clear, this is absolutely not a broccoli…
One of the best parts about living in the North End was being close to Haymarket. While the produce was not always amazing, being able to buy bargain priced vegetables was amazing – especially for soup. Appearance does not matter when you are putting blending that right up. Soup tends to be a really affordable…
Note: This post has been written and sitting in my draft folder for a week. The pictures came out crummy and I kept thinking I would re-take them… and I didn’t. So here they are in all their blurry glory. A few weeks ago we decided over a group text chain to start a book…
I’m a fan of making meatballs. While they aren’t exactly the “healthiest” dinner around, they are especially satisfying to eat standing in the kitchen after a long day of work. Sometimes I don’t even make pasta to go with them – and by sometimes… I mean most times. I came across this soup recipe this…
I never thought I would put pesto into a soup – but now I’ve done it … and it’s delicious. Turns out you don’t need a ton of ingredients or sodium for a flavorful soup. It’s pretty clear that I’m back on the soup train hard these days. One of the amazing things about my…
Corn chowder is one of my favorite soups – and yet I’ve never made it before this time. Over the summer I traded some tomato jam and fresh garden veggies for my neighbor Tom’s corn chowder… and it was amazing. I tried to file it away on my cooking to-do list, but completely forgot until…
I might have found a new favorite way to cook fish. It is so shockingly easy. I found it when I was flipping through Better Homes & Gardens magazine while eating an almond croissant and watching the tide come in. So, it was clearly a rough day. The picture on the page completed lured me…
I’ve been doing some very adult things recently – both thinking and doing. The opposite of all that is probably making alphabet soup – but I don’t care. Life is about balance. And I’ll be pretty well balanced for about 6 meals after this giant pot of child’s soup. This weekend was the first one…
I tend to skew towards very hearty soups. I want something that feels like a meal – not something that requires a part two. Unless that part two is a grilled cheese or anything with cheese for that matter. All that being said, there is a season fast approaching that requests I not cover myself…
