Egg Drop Soup

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

This was a very quick and easy light dinner for a rainy evening after a beautiful weekend! The mushrooms can be replaced with fresh, or even omitted if you aren't a fan, but I like the subtle umami flavor that they add. Egg Drop Soup Serves 4 as an appetizer 1 quart ...

Chicken Potato and Kale Stew

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

A hearty and healthy meal for a rainy evening, this was inspired by the contents of my fridge and the ever helpful interwebs :-P , mostly this Cooking Light recipe, and this Food Network recipe. While Shaun and I both enjoyed the chicken and potatoes and ...

A Hearty Lunch

This was going to be dinner last night, but we ended up just foraging for some snacks. It made a nice lunch, though! Black Bean and Ham Soup with Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Chipotle Pork Posole

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Another winner inspired by Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast. This soup was easy and very flavorful with a`few additions - more garlic and some traditional Mexican spices. This was a little too brothy - next time I think I'll only add one cup of water, if that. Chipotle ...

Hot and Sour Soup, Take 2

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

This is my next iteration of that Chinese restaurant classic, hot and sour soup. This is getting really close to my ideal now, and I think it might at this point just be a matter of adding a bit more vinegar and/or pepper to suit my taste on that ...

Cassie’s Chili

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

This is my recipe for chili. It's a great cold weather meal. My office is having a chili cook-off as part of our holiday party tomorrow, so I made up a batch. I'll bring in my slow-cooker tomorrow and let it simmer all morning too. *...And a small ...

Chicken Noodle Soup

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Core warming soup for another chilly Northwest evening. I used leftover meat from a rotisserie chicken that we had on Sunday rather than browning the meat, so it was even faster to make. We had this with some warm ciabatta bread to dip in the broth. Very ...
