My father loved potato salad. More importantly, he loved my mother’s potato salad. This is the way she made potato salad and she made it well. This is the way she taught me to make potato salad. There’s not much better with a hot dog, and yes, Virginia, that’s ketchup on the hot dog…get over it! Continue reading

It was drizzly, and rather chilly today…you may have heard…it’s Spring! Soup seemed like the perfect antidote to not-so-perfect weather. This soup has everything green and everything springtime in it. It’s a flexible soup, too. You can limit the mixture to 2 or 3 ingredients or expand it 5 or 6. And if that’s not enough, there are also flavor or seasoning options. Continue reading

There are as many versions of cheese soups as there are brands of beer…well maybe not quite THAT many versions. This version uses a lager/apple cider reduction, potato and cauliflower as part of the ingredients.
