Cream of Tomato Soup {with Basil Pesto & Mozzarella Dunkers}
All my favorite soups begin the same way….with a classic Mirepoix (onion, carrot and celery). For our Cream of Tomato Soup, the mirepoix is primarily a flavor enhancer. In the end it’s pureed, but I couldn’t help but leave some texture in our creamy bowl of comfort.

Sausage & Potato Soup {with Spinach & Bacon}
Sausage & Potato Soup with Spinach & Bacon could be the cousin of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. That however, was not at all my motivation for making this new recipe. Did I tell you the story of how we scored 30+ pounds of bacon and sausage?? Can you imagine the delight when this text message hit my phone.

Kung Pao Chicken Soup
I took a popular Chinese Take-Out dish and turned it into a healthy make at home meal. Our Kung Pao Chicken Soup is not sodium or MSG laden. Instead it’s packed with fresh aromatic ingredients and some classic Asian flavors.

Carrot Cake Breakfast Bread
Carrot Cake Breakfast Bread served with hot comforting coffee makes ‘unseasonably’ seem novel. Let me talk quickly. We are currently experiencing unseasonably cold temps with wind gusts in the….well below our comfort level. My computer has been off and on again with power outages and server issues.

Chili Gumbo
I took yesterday off from work to cook. That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven. I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat. In fact, everyone either loves to eat or loves to cook (or both). Which makes for some great special occasion spreads. Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a giant pot of Chili Gumbo and a platter of Mardi Gras Wings. It was a good day.

Char Siu Roast BBQ Pork
Char Sui is Chinese BBQ Pork. Don’t let the word BBQ fool you. This isn’t your typical southern pulled pork BBQ (albeit we love that). No, the flavors and cooking method for Char Sui is quite different. And the results…phenomenal. Juicy, melt-in-your-mouth pork infused with a sweet & sticky marinade. Let us not pass over what makes Char Sui dreamy good. Crispy. Pork Fat. Rules!!

Avocado, Cilantro & Lime Farro Salad {with Fresh Veggies}
Avocado, Cilantro & Lime Farro Salad {with Fresh Veggies}. I must admit I’ve become a bit smitten with Farro. I was studying the bulk bins at my local Whole Foods Market looking for something different. I was charged up to discover that Farro is packed with goodness.

Cheddar-Parmesan Savory Biscotti {with Sundried Tomatoes}
I have a thing for biscotti. It began year’s ago when I first discovered a recipe for Dark Chocolate Walnut Biscotti. They soon became an annual addition to our holiday cookie plates. They are the perfect gift for our favorite coffee and hot chocolate drinkers. It took becoming a food blogger however for me to venture out into the world of savory biscotti. Boy am I glad I did. These Cheddar-Parmesan Savory Biscotti with sundried tomatoes and toasted pine nuts are just what that bowl of soup needed.
