Chickpea Pumpkin Curry

December 3, 2008 By Laura 4 Comments

I visit lots of blogs that feature drool worthy food (see sidebar for examples). But very rarely am I instantly inspired to make whatever it is I am reading. The one exception to this is Vicci’s The Days Are Just Packed. She has a knack for picking vegetarian or otherwise very healthy dishes that are…

Bowties with Roasted Winter Squash Arugula and Pine Nuts

November 16, 2008 By Laura 7 Comments

I never realized how hard I would find it to be inspired to post to this blog without photos. Not to mention how much I hate typing on this laptop. *Sigh* We went by the house today–no pics obviously, but half of the siding is up (!) and all of the drywall inside. And let’s…

Winter Squash and Tomatillo Soup

March 9, 2008 By Laura Leave a Comment

I went back and forth about whether to share this next soup with you guys. I served it with the Buttermilk Cornmeal Bread with Chiles and Cheddar, and that right there was probably half the problem—the bread just blew everything else at the meal out of the water.

The Taste of Home: Butternut Squash Soup & Homemade Bread

January 20, 2008 By Laura Leave a Comment

  Nothing quite tastes like home to me as much as homemade bread and soup. When I was young and I was sick, Mom always hauled out the Beef and Vegetable Soup—either she got it from the freezer or she made it fresh—and made homemade bread. To this day I desperately crave broth in particular…
