First time ever trying to transform our squash into soup, & it went great! Our Summer Squash Chowder was a total winner - cheesy + creamy + all around comforting. I’d dare say I’m not even a big squash person (like you couldn’t pay me to eat one raw with a dipper), but I do love this veggie grilled or sautéed with quite a bit of garlic.
Read MoreThis weeks challenge - vegetarian chili. I usually really don’t like vegetarian chili. Sometimes I feel like our vegetarian chilis just don’t turn out savory enough, and a good savory bite is what I’m looking for when it comes to chili. Savory + hearty + so much flavor while being the perfect base for some solid chili toppings loaded on top (all the avocado + cheese + cilantro I can handle!). This Cheesy Cauliflower Chili is literally everything my chili dreams are made of. & this is THE vegetarian chili I want to make year after year.
Read MoreIt was a pretty traditional situation at my house - shredded chicken + peas + carrots + celery + dumplings. But man did I love it! I’ve tried a few times to make my own, & it never really made the cut of “we should have this again.” That all changed a couple weeks ago with the Cauliflower + Buttermilk Dumpling Soup. I made mine meatlesss, used a buttermilk dumpling recipe as Inspo, and added in hella herb to create my twist on a Linda classic. Not totally a copy of the childhood meal I remember, but very close and a total banger.
Read MoreLong story short, I landed on this Butternut Squash, Apple, + Leek Soup. Like a traditional butternut squash soup, it’s one of the easiest soups ever to make, + it comes with lots of hands off time (which made time for Peloton-ing during the cooking process).
Read MoreWe're constantly building up our own food traditions at home Those dishes that you always make for certain occasions, or certain times of year, because it feels obligatory, but in a really good way. I call them my “must make” recipes. I look forward to making year after year, & they’re special. One such Fall item: this Spicy Tomatillo, Sausage + Butternut Squash Soup. It’s so fresh, so full of spicy Mexican flavors, and so perfect for a cozy night in.
Read MoreI’m not sure why Beef Stew sounded so good - a toss up between wanting to take advantage of the random rainy day in the midst of an 80 degree streak or the fact that it involved cooking with red wine. Because cooking with wine is my jam! It just means your going to end up with something de-lish.
Read MoreTomato soup is like my white whale. I’ve made so many tomato soups over the years, and I felt like I could never really nail it. The no. 1 issue - always the texture. It always turned out so grainy and just not perfectly smooth like canned stuff. & that was my goal - recreate the tomato soup I grew up eating, but make it better & free of the not so awesome shit we all know is hidden in canned products that don’t go bad for like 3 years. When Sunday finally came around, and my husband asked me what I wanted to do with my day off, the
Read MoreSo Sunday dinner - one of the coziest + warming soups in my repertoire - Lasagna Noodle Soup. This soup is the remedy for wanting somethnig classic, like chicken noodle soup, but creating the most delish, veggie filled, adult version of a classic. Creamier, herbier, and more veggie loaded
Read MoreIf you know me and my husband, you know that we live for soup season. & it’s finally that time of year when my fingers get numb going from my car to the house, so it’s officially chilly enough using that fireplace & dust off the Le Creuset & christen soup season 2019. My perfect soup - something creamy & cheesy & salty & appropriate with loads of hot sauce.
