So I have been craving some Cajun shrimp chowder. Whenever my local restaurant would have it on their menu I always bought myself, my husband and son a bowl. I haven’t seen it in a long time nor have I had it in a long time so I made it myself. It does taste different but I am pleased with mine and I used larger … Continue reading Cajun Shrimp Chowder
Kind of an exciting week this past week. My first grandchild arrived 3 weeks earlier than expected. Everyone is doing well; she is a healthy beautiful little girl and I am so excited for the new parents and all the adventures they will have. It is super sweet to see my son who is a pretty big guy holding his tiny little daughter, melts my … Continue reading Cabbage and Sausage soup
If you read my blog fairly frequently you might think I just posted this; I even questioned it myself but they are different soups with similar ingredients. This one I adapted from a recipe I found in allrecipes.com that was submitted by domesticgoddess. It comes together quickly and has fabulous flavor and fits the bill around here. We got over a foot of snow here … Continue reading Tuscan Bean and Italian Sausage Soup
I try to write about a variety of recipes that I make since I cook and bake fairly often but I wanted to share another yummy soup recipe with you all. Soup and Chili are on the menu today as well but I am making one I already shared with you so next week will not be a soup recipe, I hope. Every so often … Continue reading Cheese Ham and Potato soup
I am sitting here enjoying the last of the soups I made last week and I think you should make this or something close with the things you like eating. I mean homemade soup is really easy to adapt to what you have on hand. Technically there are three components to making a lovely soup or stew. 1st is liquid, 2nd aromatics and 3rd volumizing … Continue reading Sausage, Spinach and Bean soup

After preparing Thanksgiving Day dinner … Continue reading Turkey Rice Soup
I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to get my laptop to get motivated so I can figure out what I am going to share for a recipe today. I knew I had made something a couple of weeks ago and it was really good but I wanted OK needed the picture to remind me. Insert eye roll here! When I was finally able … Continue reading Moroccan Lentil Soup with Veggies
There are a few reasons why Fall is one of my favorite times of the years. The turning of the leaves is just spectacular; not that I want more leaf peepers coming to New Hampshire but if you have never been here between mid September and mid October you truly are missing out. Here is a peak at a local artists photo he posted the … Continue reading Italian Wedding soup
After 28 years working for a local company they decided to let several long term dedicated people go. I feel OK saying this now as I just received my last severance check 🙂 I was a little bitter at first but I have been so unhappy with the twists and turns of the company for many many years now. I stayed thinking what else could … Continue reading Cioppino – cod, sausage and fennel
I was looking for an older recipe I wrote about before for today’s blog. Reason being is I didn’t really make anything note worthy this past week. For our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we went to the Azores and while we liked everything except for the sausage, it was SO smoky and the texture was not to my liking. So this recipe Portuguese recipe popped up … Continue reading Portuguese Braised Pork Shoulder and Clams
