Hot and Sour Soup

Sunday, January 27th, 2013

I made my hot and sour soup for dinner tonight in an effort to fight off this cold that seems intent on settling back in for another round. I used 8 cups of chicken broth, 2 eggs, firm tofu (rather than extra firm), and a little more of the ...

Cassie’s Turkey Chili

This is a variant of my chili that uses ground turkey instead of ground beef. It's a little bit healthier without sacrificing any flavor or heartiness. It was a great meal for a chilly November evening. Cassie’s Turkey Chili Makes about 8 servings 1 tbsp canola oil 20 oz ground turkey kosher salt ...

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Sunday, November 13th, 2011

This recipe comes from my mother - it's a healthier take on broccoli cheddar soup. This version doesn't have any cream or milk, just a flavorful broth, lots of broccoli, and a little bit of cheese, which could be eliminated if you wanted it to be entirely dairy-free. Broccoli Cheddar Soup Serves ...

Pork and Black Bean Stew

Monday, November 7th, 2011

This is a take-off from my ham and black bean soup. It's a lovely warming stew for a drizzly fall evening - warming with both the temperature and the spice :-) We both really enjoyed this, and it'll definitely make some repeat appearances throughout the fall ...

Stracciatella with Turkey Meatballs

Friday, October 21st, 2011

This is me winging it with my meatball recipe while feeling like soup on this foggy evening. Stracciatella is a classic Italian soup, traditionally made with just chicken broth, eggs, and some sort of green (spinach, arugula or kale). I added my meatballs and a little pasta to ...

Cassie’s Skirt Steak Chili

Monday, October 10th, 2011

This is another variation of my usual chili recipe, this time using skirt steak instead of ground beef. The chunks of beef were a great addition, and something I'll definitely do again, but something about this bean combination was just a bit off, so I'll try something different next ...

Vegetarian Chili

Friday, September 30th, 2011

This hearty crockpot meal is great for a fall day. I brought this into work for a potluck and cooked it all morning at my desk. One of our bosses is a vegetarian, so I wanted to make sure that he had something tasty and filling too ...

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

This gumbo concoction is a conglomeration of many recipes out there on the web. It's a great use for leftover chicken, and could easily be adapted to use fresh chicken as well. We really enjoyed this and will be repeating it many times in the coming fall and ...
