This past year was a wild ride. So wild in fact that I am still catching my breath! Here are a few of the adventures: I started writing about local food for Salt Lake Magazine‘s Farm to Table blog. You can find links to my 2015 articles HERE. Our recipes…
The Creamiest Roasted Cauliflower Soup – Without the Cream
It’s here. The season where we all collectively don sweaters and sip soup. Also known as the season when my body is convinced that I should be hibernating rather than being productive. I love sweaters and soup, but it means that I need a strong incentive to climb out of…
Buttery Hatch Chile Steamed Mussels
Over the weekend I ended up at an impromptu girls night in. We ended up gathered around a table with simple appetizers. Don’t all gatherings, at least the good ones start around a table? It was one of those perfect nights. Warm, but not too warm right at the golden…
Sopa Seca (Mexican ‘Dry’ Soup)
Greg came home from work a couple of weeks ago when I was putting the finishing touches on this recipe and taking the last photos for this post. He walked in, said “That smells good. What are you making?” My response was “Dry Soup.” I should have offered a little…
Sopa de Albondigas (Mexican Meatball Soup)
This is a family recipe if there ever was one – I’ve shared another one this week HERE. I wish I could trace the full genealogy of this soup and how it developed. As far as I can gather, this is how it went: It was born from a Mexican…
All the Soup + BONUS Chili-Garlic Bread Recipe
Soup has its place in the world. My world more specifically, in my belly, in the winter. It has been frigid and we’ve been battling winter colds around here. Nothing is more comforting on a cold day than soup. So, we are sharing our warm-the-world playbook of soup recipes. PLUS…
Bell Pepper and Cauliflower Soup
Over the holidays a friend brought us a Hanukkah gift of some fantastic Mirasol red pepper bisque. I don’t know what he put in it, but it really was fantastic, and I was inspired to try my own. Now, I normally like a little more substance to my soup. Because really, how are…
Lemon Rice Soup
Lemon Rice Soup probably conjures a vision of the gloopy, thick and congealed version that you find as an afterthought in the Greek diner around the corner. This is NOT that soup. Brothy, rich and tangy with lots of fresh cracked pepper, this is my go-to, cure-all, it’s cold out…
Not a Recipe: Stocking up on Homemade Broth
I have never been the type to stockpile food. For one, we just don’t have room. We are apartment dwellers with a tiny kitchen and almost no cupboard space. Despite that, there are a few key things I always try to have on hand for fast meals with good flavor:…
Caramelized Onions + Bonus Onion Soup Recipe
With fall and falling leaves firmly in the air, I apparently have turned to comfort food. For most people, this might mean carb-0-licious carbs, and don’t get me wrong, I love a good carb or two. For me though, comfort food means onions and garlic. Earlier this week, I posted…
