I just made this for dinner tonight. The Spicy Honey loves tomato soup, but he usually prefers the kind in the can. However, he does enjoy this one. This is an incredibly simple and delicious soup. With summer on the horizon, this seems to work, even when the heat creeps into our bones. Continue reading

It’s amazing where a wrong turn can take you! It was a stroke of luck. I turned around in the parking lot of “For Love and Food Café” in Enfield, CT. Why wouldn’t you want to eat at a place called “For Love and Food Café”? It was a great decision. Continue reading

The Spicy Honey loves his mushroom soup. Usually, he’s happy with the canned stuff, but this is so simple to make; it is really soooooo delicious. I thought I probably should share the recipe. Because, you need to make this. Continue reading

I forget about meatloaf and I don’t know why. We love it. It’s goes together quickly. It practically bakes itself and damn, it’s just so delicious. And best of all, it makes great sandwiches. I’ve already given you Roadhouse Meatloaf, but you should have this one, too. Continue reading

Applesauce is delicious. This is better. My sister is the creator of this. Years ago, she made this for The Progeny. They loved it. They still do. I used to make huge amounts of this and can it in quart jars. The Eldest One used to eat it by the quart, quite literally. Continue reading

As I mentioned in the post for the Broccoli-Apple Slaw with Cranberries, I’ve discovered broccoli slaw, that mixture of shredded broccoli that lives in the produce department of your supermarket. We really liked that slaw, but it’s not exactly a “classic” slaw. So why not make a more classic version of coleslaw, but using the broccoli instead? Seriously. Why not? We’re flexible, aren’t we and this is just as delicious. Maybe even better. Continue reading

This is a dish my sister Joan used to make. She’s no longer with us, but her memory lives on with me in so many ways. This dish is one of the things she made for her large family and her busy life. It was fast, tasty and economical. What more could you ask for? Continue reading

These little oozy, gooey squares of rich, chewy chocolate goodness are perfect for…well pretty much anytime. I’ve been making a non-chocolate based version of these for years. Yeah, alright…I should have thought about this sooner, but I didn’t. Better late than never. Continue reading

I found a nice Asian market here in South Florida. I love Asian markets with their offal, their weird and wonderful fish and shellfish and their greens. I love their greens. I was thrilled to discover Chrysanthemum leaves or Tong Ho. Continue reading
