Caprese Tomato Soup
I can’t even fully explain to you how much I love this soup. I mean…Caprese Tomato Soup? Are you kidding me? How could a soup possibly be more delicious? Maybe if it had bacon in it, BUT STILL. Even without it, it’s just so dang good. You know what I really love about this soup, though? Besides its tasty tastiness, it’s a cinch to throw together, as most summer recipes should be – so we can spend more time outdoors and not hovering... Read More

So Hot: Enchilada Soup
Can you feel the weather starting to cool down? Leaves on the ground? Pumpkin coffee drinks? Me too. All I want to eat right now is eat warm and comforting soups. I think even the process of making soup is comforting. I love standing over the stove and stirring and sipping on a glass of wine, listening to some music. It really does make me happy. Unfortunately, my family does not feel the same way. I tell them that I am making soup, and there... Read More

Mexican Grilled Corn Chowder
Confession time: I’ve never really been a big fan of corn chowder (but I AM a big fan of saying “CHOWDAH!” in a thick Boston accent every time I hear the word). I do enjoy me some Mexican grilled corn in the summahtime, though (I’m afraid the rest of this post will now be in a Boston accent). Grilled corn on the cob is great and all, but when you slather it with some mayo, chili powder, lime juice and crumbly cheese, oh my LAWD. My mouth... Read More

Seafood Chili
Normally when I make chili, I really go all out with fat. Bacon fat and butter to start, lots of braised meats, top with sour cream and cheese, and go into a food coma for four hours. Like most Americans, I have really packed on the holiday pounds. So this time I set out to make a chili loaded with the deep flavors I expect from the warming stew, but without all the meats and fat that normally come with it. This seafood chili recipe is loaded... Read More
Habanero-Banana Chili
One of my favorite flavor combinations is habanero and banana. I try to sneak it into everything! It fits perfectly in this Habanero-Banana Chili, filled with fire-roasted tomatoes and slow-cooked pork that falls apart as you bite it. All of my roommates told me they didn’t want to eat this meal because banana in chili weirded them out. One by one they all took a taste, then grabbed a bowl, and then even got seconds! Good thing I cook in... Read More

Pumpkin-Coconut Soup
Pumpkin soup is great this time of year, but it can get a little boring. So everyone tries to put a unique little twist on it. What is that twist, lately? Curried pumpkin soup. Don't get me wrong, curried pumpkin soup is fantastic, but it’s getting a little played out. Dear curried pumpkin soup, (cc: Rolling in the Deep, Party Rock Anthem, and Pumped Up Kicks), It’s been a lot of fun, seriously, but I think the time has come to say goodbye... Read More

Making Tomato Soup with Muir Glen
For a while, I was fanatical about cooking pizzas. So much so, that I built a pizza oven in my back yard. During this time, it was important to me to perfect the pizza sauce. To do this, every time I needed canned tomatoes I would buy a different brand at the store. Before cooking with them, I would taste the tomatoes themselves, and the liquid in the can, and take notes about the different flavors and characteristics of each brand. I tasted sup... Read More
