On winter days we love to make big batches of soup to put in the freezer for future lunches. One of our favorites is Annie Somerville’s Carrot Soup with North African Spices from her Fields of Greens cookbook. While this is a vegetarian cookbook, we have altered this recipe by using chicken broth. I absolutely love […]

Haddock Cod Chowder
Growing up in Massachusetts every summer vacation I had was generally spent on Cape Cod or in Rockport. Summer vacations were not complete without eating clam chowder every time we went to a restaurant. Not the kind you get in a big can, but creamy chowders filled with chunky potatoes and loads of fresh clams. […]
Mushroom Consommé with Spring Vegetables
It wasn’t until the mid-nineties that I really started enjoying Japanese flavors in my cooking. Sushi restaurants began to pop up in the town I was living in and from my first visit I was hooked. So light and fresh, I could have eaten out for every meal. Fast forward ten years and I was […]
Cream of Rutabaga Soup
If you’ve been following us you will know that we have been fairly dedicated to using up everything that we have.

Wolfgang Puck’s Potato & Cheddar Soup with Bacon
We seem to have an abundance of cheddar cheese these days. It might be because of the giant neighborhood size blocks we found at Costco (while in search of kitchen cabinets which we did not find) and felt the immediate need to buy two of due to the extremely low price…so yeah…cheddar. The dog loves […]
Carrot Soup with North African Spices Garnished with Bacon
On really blustery winter days we love to make big batches of soup to put in the freezer for future lunches. One of our favorites is from the Fields of Greens cookbook written by Annie Somerville. While this is a vegetarian cookbook, we have altered this recipe to meet our meat eating needs. […]
Too Hot for Tacos….a Taco Inspired Consommé
I love tacos. Since before birth I have been loving Mexican inspired food. Yes, before birth. It was all my mother craved when she was pregnant with me, which, might not have been so bad if it were not the early 1970’s in small town Massachusetts, where, I imagine, getting Mexican food was not […]
