My final post in a 3 part series. Soupa Avegolemono is traditionally made with eggs, chicken broth, rice or a small pasta like orzo with out the addition of chicken. Although not traditional in the purist sense, many Greek restaurants serve Soupa Avgolemono with chicken in it. In my version, I’ve omitted the eggs because […]
This is it, the last of the Prime Rib. No surprise, when I get down to the last little bit of anything my mind wanders towards soup. I love a “garbage” soup where you take all the odds and ends leftover and through […]
Baby it’s cold out there… A hot bowl of soup is just the thing to warm you up. Navy bean soup is in my all time top three favorite soups. Normally I cook it with a smoked ham hock or the leftover ham bone. I had some smoked turkey I needed to use up, so […]
Over a month ago, when I was teaching my California Roll class, Mark had confessed to me that he didn’t know how to make chili. I told him perfect, that I had planned on posting my “no” recipe chili that very week. Me and my big mouth, I should never give a date for […]
It’s official, I can’t deny it. Winter is here and it’s here to stay. I almost believed it wouldn’t come, we had a very wet summer (which uncovered that our basement leaks and we have a nice crack in the foundation). Oh but the fall, the fall was perfectly warm, kind of balmy actually. We […]
“I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” (Wimpy from Popeye). A foodie grandma’s dream. My little alligator dressed up as a hamburger for Halloween. I just had to, had to, share. It brings a tear to my eye. Let’s not forget about the mystery I left you with yesterday. Here’s another hint…. […]
There are as many ways to make chili as there are cooks in the world. Honestly I’m not sure if I ever make it the same way twice. It doesn’t seem to matter, it always turns out good. In college for my Biology class, we had an extra credit question that asked “What is […]
I love corned beef and cabbage, and I would eat them again just as is the next day except I love reinventing leftovers even more then I love eating them. It always seems there is plentysome left overs. March is still soup weather so I combined one of my favorite soups, potato soup with the […]
Have I told you that I love, love, love my new Dutch Oven? It heats perfectly, looks great and it’s easy to clean (which makes the Baby Boy happy too). Speaking of Baby Boy, this recipe is adapted from his Nana’s Pasta Fazool recipe. Traditional Pasta Fazool also known as Pasta e Fagioli is an […]
