Homemade Soup Recipes {50+ favorites}
I could eat a cup of soup everyday. So many scrumptuous varieties – from the thick and hearty soups that eat like a stew, to the delicate brothy soups that refresh your taste buds. They’re all wonderful in my book!

Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies
Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies I’m so happy this time of year. There’s something so beautiful about fresh from the garden veggies and herbs. Throughout this past winter and spring we’ve been enjoying Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes. Why not show our baby squash and spring onions the same kind of love?!

New England Boiled Dinner {Corned Beef & Cabbage}
Growing up in beautiful New England was a blessing for so many reasons. The small town simple life made way for creativity and adventure. As kids we walked to school, rode our bikes to the lake, climbed ‘the mountain’ for fun, went to every Friday night basketball game, and loved our lobsters & chowders, grinders, maple syrup, and New England Boiled Dinners. Each year as we welcome in the Autumn season I think of soups and stews and pumpkins and foliage and New England.

Feast of the Seven Fishes {Christmas Eve Tradition}
Several years ago I got a hankering to attempt the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our Christmas Eve dinner. I carefully selected recipes, ordered specialty items ahead from our local seafood market, and rewrote my plan of attack dozens of times before the big day arrived. I envisioned this becoming our new Christmas Eve traditional dinner and oh how that excited me.

Peppermint Mocha Latte Truffles
It has happened. The coffee-house shift from Pumpkin Spice Lattes to Peppermint Mocha Lattes. Today in honor of Peppermint Mocha Latte Day my plan was to recreate this phenomenon at home. That was before I found a bazillion other versions of Starbuck’s copycat recipe for that warm minty frothy beverage we all love. Hmmm…how about Peppermint Mocha Latte Truffles instead. Bingo.

Roasted Veggie Pot Pie {with Herbed Biscuit Crust}
Someday I think I’d like to do an entire recipe series on ‘How to make this from that.’ In other words, how to enjoy dinner on day one, then turn the leftovers into a completely new meal (or two) the following days. Our Roasted Veggie Pot Pie {with Herbed Biscuit Crust} is simply Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder with a heavenly layer of comfort baked on top.

Roasted Lobster & Corn Cake Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Exhale. Not sure how to spell that sound so do it with me…in through the nose out through the mouth. We’ve made it half way through April aka National Grilled Cheese Month and have proudly shared a unique grilled cheese sandwich each day on our Facebook page. The feedback has ranged from “Speechless” to “Girl. Giiiiiiirl. Yowza!!” to “I’m dreaming of Lobster Corn Chowder reconstructed into a grilled cheese.” That was too good to ignore. Thank you for the inspiration Sarah Mitchell. Here is my version of your request. Roasted Lobster & Corn Cake Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

Fresh Cream-Style Corn
Fresh Cream-Style Corn. On the East Coast we are heading into the season of fresh local produce. Soon the Farmers’ Markets will reopen, where rows of pick up trucks piled high with ‘corn on the cob’ will sit. I want us to be ready.

Bread Machine Bread Bowls
Bread Machine Bread Bowls. Perfect for Soups, Stews, Chilis & Chowders. By popular demand I am sharing our Bread Bowl recipe, using dough made in our bread machine. We followed the recipe for the French Bread Dough and instead of cutting it in half for two baguettes, we cut it in four pieces for bread bowls.

Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}
Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}. The day started with a ‘fresh as can be’ 1 1/2 lb. cod fillet. No plan for it, just a piece of fish too good to pass up. What I was craving, quickly became my motivation for making this dish. What I was craving, would be made from the leftovers. I set out on a mission to find the right recipe, that the next day, would beg to be turned into…Fish Chowder. This brilliant non-plan to accommodate my craving, almost went very wrong.
