Creamy Corn & Asparagus Soup
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

Corn & Pepper Jack Cheese Chowder
On Wednesday I made a terrific Spinach & Creamy Spinach Soup. Today’s soup is equally delicious but with a kick! It’s the perfect blend of sweet and hot! The corn brings this beautiful sweetness at the front, then after two or three bites you start to notice a little heat! A very balanced corn soup. For the corn broth, click on the link above and follow the directions.

Taco Tuesday: Cowgirl Tacos
It’s Taco Tuesday! My favorite day of the month when I experiment with new and different flavors for tacos…This is another taco that I found on a menu from Fuego Tortilla Grill.

It’s called Cowboy Tacos and it listed Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce as one of it’s ingredients…that sounds tempting…doesn’t it!? But why let all the Cowboys have the fun? Here’s my spin on this taco which I’m gladly renaming Cowgirl Tacos! Continue reading

Creamy Corn Chowder
This time of year I could seriously eat corn every day although we do make sure to have it at least twice a week.

You will also see my corn salad and salsa in the near future… Continue reading
