On December 30, 2011 By

Every year I promise myself that I am going to make some amaz­ing culi­nary feat of deli­cious­ness involv­ing black-eyed peas to blog about for New Year’s Day.

And I don’t.

So, instead I’m going to repost two tasty recipes that are not only deli­cious and healthy, but will also help revive your liver after your […]

the smell of soup season

On September 14, 2011 By

Nature giveth and she taketh away.

I think she took summer.

It took a long time for sum­mer to finally make its appear­ance in the Pacific North­west, so I couldn’t help but feel a lit­tle slighted last night, as I begrudg­ingly pulled an extra blan­ket onto the bed. But while I long to soak up […]

souper easy!

On March 31, 2011 By

Some­times avoid­ing going to the gro­cery store is a nui­sance, like when you end up liv­ing off of stale cereal and ques­tion­ably old soy milk.

Other times, it forces you to use up ran­dom things in your fridge, on the edge of extinc­tion, and deliv­ers deli­cious results.

Thank­fully this is the result of the lat­ter scenario, […]

Okay, I’m kind of suck­ing at MoFo. I think Novem­ber is not as good a month for it, it’s too busy. Plus, I have some news to share soon (no, I’m not preg­nant) that has been tying up my time, but that will come.

I love me some tomato soup. It’s my go-to food when I’m […]

On October 5, 2010 By

As the cooler weather sets in, I start to crave com­fort foods. While not nec­es­sar­ily look­ing for overly hearty fare, chilly nights and layer-weather beck­ons for some­thing that sticks to your ribs. Let’s take a stroll down mem­ory lane for some recipes that fit the bill.

Some Cur­ried Car­rot Soup is sim­ple to […]

soup in juneuary

On June 2, 2010 By

A few weeks ago, we Port­landers were pre­ma­turely vis­ited by sum­mer. It was warm and sunny and glo­ri­ous. Now our days are dark, we are expe­ri­enc­ing bib­li­cal rain and we have lapsed back into muddy win­ter weather.

I have tasted the fruits of sum­mer and I am not a happy camper.

Alas, given that […]

On July 9, 2009 By

Well, here she is: Episode 3 of the nom! nom! nom! cook­ing show. Enjoy this very clas­sic and sum­mery recipe.
