I’ve begun to realize that the winters here in northern California are very unique. It’s cold and rainy with interspersed days of sunlight and warmth. It’s a very unique microclimate and I’m still trying to adjust. My normal winter time foods aren’t common go to’s here but one food will always be perfect on a…
Dutch Oven Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
I have been decimated by not one but two sicknesses this year. considering how we are only in the second week of the year, this is not a good sign. Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s that I live in NYC where too many people crowd onto the train each day, or maybe I…
Leftover Ham and Potato Soup
We are finally within a week of CHRISTMAS!! And this past weekend we got snow, it might even be a white Christmas after all! Yes I’m geeking out, but this is my absolute favorite time of the year (Basic? Yes. Sorry about it? NEVER). This week because I still had leftovers from our ham…
Dutch Oven Beef and Barley Soup
Dutch Oven Beef and Barley Soup is a great soup to make for winter time! The dutch oven makes it such and easy process! There’s something so comforting about soup on a cold day. I love how it both fills and warms you up. Not many foods are able to do both. And even…
Leftover Turkey and Rice Soup
My Favorite holiday is just around the corner. Thanksgiving is THE best because of all of the amazing food and how socially acceptable it is to stuff your face until you literally can’t eat any more. Yeah, It’s my kind of holiday. While the food on Thanksgiving day is great, you know what’s even…

Rosemary Potato Soup
Welcome to winter! As I’m writing this we are getting our first bit of winter here in NYC. It’s not much, just some sleet, but it’s enough to turn on the heat, snuggle up in a blanket and pray for an early spring. I know we have been spoiled this year by very warm…
French Onion Soup
Soup is on! And it’s better than ever! This time around I made my favorite soup, French Onion Soup. Whenever my family would go out to lunch and french onion soup was on the menu, one of us HAD to order it. I first made french onion soup when i moved into…
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
It’s official. Tai is sick. It’s not just the sniffles, it’s a full-blown out of work for several days level bad cold. I guess it’s officially cold season now. To help make him feel better I decided to make soup, and not just any soup but his all time favorite: Broccoli Cheddar Soup from Panera…
Chipotle Corn Soup
We are in the height of corn season here in the northeast. Unfortunately, despite our recent heat wave, the summer crops are not going to last much longer. So we must make the most of them in the time that we have left. Today I made a delicious Chipotle Corn Soup. This is the first…
