Chicken Noodle Soup with Homemade Egg Noodles
The cold weather season triggers something special in the brain. Whirling twirling ideas of how to make our favorite seasonal dishes even better than last year. Noooo I’m not referring to pumpkin recipes :) For me that something special would be soups. All kinds of glorious soups, of both the brothy and creamy persuasion. I took a good hard look at our Soups, Stews & Chilis category to see where there might be a void.

Homemade English Muffins {Bread Machine Method}
I’m as surprised as anyone at how easy it is to make Homemade English Muffins. All while your family sleeps. I had a grin on my face a mile wide when my family came downstairs this morning. Care for an English Muffin? I made these. Hee hee.

Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Stromboli
This Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Stromboli recipe could easily be adapted to ingredients already in your fridge and pantry. However the star ingredient and what brings it all together is the puff pastry sheet. I recommend keeping a box in your freezer for just such an occasion.

Chicken Chilaquiles {with Fried Eggs}
Chicken Chilaquiles. Chee-lah-KEE-less. Chicken-ala-cheese-ness. There are about a bazillion corn tortillas in a package. Have you noticed that? No matter what recipe I make with them, inevitably I will have half a bazillion leftover. That’s what led me to this classic Mexican dish. Chilaquiles are traditionally made from corn tortillas that may have been hanging around for a bit…aka stale.

Parmesan & Herb Quick Bread {with Caramelized Onions}
This month’s issue of Food Network Magazine is all about Quick Breads. Fifty to be exact. I had to throw my hat in the ring and have a go at it. So I made two of them. Two savory breads with fresh herbs and cheeses and aromatics. My kitchen was a swirling aroma happy place.

Chicken & Chorizo Chili
I spent this past weekend organizing my kitchen. Starting with the spice cabinet, moving on to the pantry, followed by my dishes cupboard and ending with the freezer. I’m sure everyone has their problem areas but since I began food blogging all of mine have blown up. Hey now! ;-)

Malted Peach Frappe {or is it a Milkshake?}
When I discovered today was National Frappe Day I smiled out loud. It’s been years since I’ve had a frappe, yet a familiar fondness remains. I’ve shared before that I grew up just a corn field away from an iconic New England Ice Cream Shop. The very place I discovered my love for Dusty Miller Sundaes and Malted Peach Frappes.
