Mushroom Mac ‘n Cheese
So. I might have mentioned that I grew up with non-traditional kid food. I didn’t eat macaroni and cheese until college. (Why? I don’t know. Everyone in the house loved pasta. And cheese. But anyway…) And I also mentioned that I didn’t really start eating mushrooms until like, yesterday. But now, I love macaroni and [...]

My my. I know there have been a higher than normal number of orange-colored soups appearing here as of late (like this and this). But bear with me just one more time because this one is a keeper. For real. Keeper! Yum! This butternut squash soup is so low in calories, and so rich with [...]

I’m not a huge mushroom fan. I like to wonder who first saw a mushroom and thought that it would be good to eat. Especially the kind that grow on… ahem… manure. But Chris loves them, and so I am trying to learn to love them too. This dish is a really good step on [...]

Harvest Pumpkin Soup
There was a day, about two years ago, that I decided to scrap the leftovers I had brought to work for my lunch, and go out and get something warm instead. This was unusual, as I don’t like to spend money on lunch, but it must’ve been fate because I ended up at Au Bon [...]

Sweet Corn Cob Soup
Corn on the cob always reminds me of my Grandma and Grandpa. When I was little I used to go out to visit them on the farm in Ohio, always during the summers, when we’d have corn on the cob with every meal. Grandma always kept a little bowl of those stabby things you stick [...]

Grilled Leeks and Endives
I may not have mentioned it before, but I love leeks. They are such a skipped-over little onion-like veggie, that deserve way more credit than they get. Some day I will post an awesome pasta recipe I have that uses leeks in the sauce. But seriously, these guys cook up so nice and tender and [...]

Well that’s a mouthful, isn’t it! I didn’t want to leave out any of the flavors in the title of this recipe, but even so I think I may have skipped some! This was sort of a fridge clean-out dinner that was so tasty I’ll probably make it again. The goat cheese and the roasted [...]

While up in the Adirondacks with the fam this past weekend, we made a special birthday dinner–to celebrate all the August birthdays going on. Me, my Aunt Peggy, and Peanut. Yes the dog. She will be three tomorrow. (Keep your eye out for some homemade doggie treats on here soon…)
I may have mentioned that the [...]
