I know we’ve all got spring fever; being cooped up in our homes watching snowfall after snowfall through the windows is making us all a little crazy. So do I wish I had something really spring-y to share with you? Of course. But alas, it has been nothing but cold here and soup is still…
Ash-e Anar (Persian Pomegranate Soup with Meatballs)
I almost forgot to share this recipe with you guys, which would have been a crime! It is that good! But boy it has been a weird month. The cruise was enough alone to make everything topsy turvy–I would love to say that we always get out of town in the winter but actually that…
Slow Cooker Mulligatawny with Beef and Mushrooms
Guys! I have so much to tell you that I don’t know where to start! I realize that to you I may not have gone anywhere, but the last 3 posts were all written almost 2 weeks ago. In that time I have gotten a tan, sailed on my first cruise, taken my children to…
Mexican Inspired Chicken Soup with Corn and Heirloom Beans
A brothy chicken soup boosted with Mexican spices and lime juice is the best cure for a cold I have come across! Sorry about the extended absence!! I mentioned in my last post that I had run out of savory meals to share because I had given in to popular demand (i.e., my kids)…
Chorba (Moroccan Soup of Chickpeas, Vermicelli and Vegetables)
When I chose my island for my kitchen, my builder thought I was crazy for picking such a large one. Clearly he is not a cook, because there is just no such thing as too much counter space in the kitchen. I am a cluttered person, and being able to always have counter free for…
Fallback Doctored Tortilla Soup
Ack! Sorry for the delay! I managed to be a good blogger through the first week of vacation, but the second week things just got away from me. Meals got made but pictures were not taken. Honestly I did not even turn my computer on the entire second week (!!).
Thai Inspired Beef Noodle Soup
Guys, the doctors think I have a C. Difficile infection. That is all I am going to say, because, well, this is a food blog after all. And you don’t wanna hear about it any more than I want to think about it (although if you are wondering why, it is probably from being on…
Chicken Noodle Soup with Mushrooms, Ginger and Chinese 5 Spice
It got worse before it got better, folks. At this point it honestly feels like all of December went by in a blur of holiday baking and upper respiratory infections. The baking you already know about. The flu came right after Thanksgiving followed by 2 different bouts of strep throat followed by the nastiest of…
Pork Posole with Roasted Pork Tenderloin & Lila Beans
Alex has been going through a picky phase (I’ll wait for the gasps to die down). Lately leftovers drive her nuts (thanks, Dad, I blame you for that one!) and she is incredibly picky about various textures. My method for dealing with this has been to ignore, ignore, ignore. I make what I want–and she…
