When the corn in season is about to be no more…I buy a few dozen, cut the corn off the cob then freeze the corn to be used in the fall and winter. So when I make this rich and creamy soup the corn is about as fresh as it gets this late in the season. And what I love about soups like this is they get better every day…You taste the sweet corn on the front of your bite and the asparagus at the end. Continue reading

Fall Bisque
We enjoy Restaurant Week in our local area…who doesn’t?

Tomato Bisque With Crab Butter
Call me crazy, but my idea of a romantic evening involves sitting on the back porch with a huge amount of king crab legs spread out on newspaper, lots of butter, a bottle of wine and the sun setting! Well, that’s just what we did last night. You know the knuckle part at the crab that holds all the claws together? I save that part and clean it the next day to turn into another meal. Since I also have copious amounts of tomatoes – lunch was a no brainier… Continue reading

Meatloaf Sliders With Sundried Tomato Aïoli
Almost every Friday from January to April my Hubby offers lunch to his staff. This time of year they are so busy… and as often as I can I make it for them. Spoiling people is what I love to do and it is always an honor to share my love of food with them. Well, this time I made Meatloaf sliders on a little Ciabatta dinner roll with a really pungent sundried tomato aïoli. The aïoli added that strong flavor you would get from the ketchup concoction that usually gets baked on top of a meatloaf. They were a huge hit and were just perfect with my Creamy Cheesy Tomato Soup! Continue reading

Creamy Cheesy Tomato Bisque
This is the perfect comfort soup when you want a creamy bisque. My Hubby is not a fan of tomato soups, but he loves my Creamy Cheese Tomato Bisque. This soup is as creamy as it is smooth and I love that I’m not dicing and roasting anything. I highly recommend giving this one a try! Continue reading

Mushroom, Onion & Swiss Panini
Panini sandwiches are excellent to have with soup – great for dipping the crusty smooshed delight. I love to make mine with my favorite fungus…Portobello mushroom…you don’t even miss the meat! Continue reading

Ham & Cannellini Bean Soup
Talk about comfort food… I am in love with this soup! Hearty and light, simple and delicious! I used spinach to finish it off this time because that’s what I had, but you can use escarole for a little crunch. You can also add chicken and tomatoes if you don’t want to use ham. I seriously recommend giving this soup a try… Oh, by the way it’s always better the next day.

Mexican Vegetable & Meatloaf Soup
Who said vegetable soup can’t be fun?! I love to use my leftover meatloaf for sandwiches mostly, but sometimes I use it to make a great vegetable soup. With some fresh veggies and a little potato I just love it. This time I added a little flair with a Mexican spin. Fiesta seasoning at the end really gives this soup a kick of fiesta fun!
