I know it’s May, which probably means I should put the soup recipes away for the summer, unless they’re chilled or something. Though Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow so I should get bonus points for that, right? Either way, I totally made this last week. It was rainy on and off (remember I live in…
We’ve finally hit spring. This week was Aiden’s spring break from school. Easter is just around the corner. My tulips are growing in the garden. It’s time to start trimming back old branches, fertilizing, planting new seeds, and all those other garden tasks. Spring is here!
As I mentioned Monday, like many, I am working on eating healthier. It’s not a New Year’s resolution per-say, I’ve been trying to head this direction even before Christmas, you might recall me talking about eating better in conjunction with my goal of coming up with more healthy vegetable recipes. More recently however, I’ve been…
One of our on going projects here at Feed Me…I’m Hungry is our ‘World Food Tour’ where we take time to find out more about culture and food from around the world by exploring recipes, cookbooks, memoirs and more. Right now we’re enjoying the fine food of France. Weather in Colorado is tricky. We have…
Were you intrigued by that title? I know I would be. I don’t know about you but I have a leftover problem. I’m the kind of person who can eat something I like for days on end. But my husband, though he is not a picky eater, really doesn’t like repeating meals too frequently. So…
This quote begins Marcella Hazan’s Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, one of the highest regarded Italian cookbooks of all time, “Flavor, in Italian dishes, builds up from the bottom. It is not a cover, it is a base. In a pasta sauce, a risotto, a soup, a fricassee, a stew, or a dish of vegetables,…
Forgive me my friends, this post is going to be short. Strike one: It’s Monday. Sometimes I just hate Monday. I’m pretty sure you guys can hear me on this one? I especially hate Monday when the following occur: Strike Two: I spent most of the weekend tending my poor sick kids. (Including the wee…
To recap: I’m loving my newly purchased cookbook 6 Ingredient Solutions by Americas Test Kitchen. It fills a real need for me. Despite being a food blogger I have nights where I just can’t seem to get dinner on the table. (I feel like I might not be alone on this one.) This cookbook has…
So my husband hates sandwiches. Ok I promise this will relate to soup soon, hang with me here. So yeah, unless a sandwich is grilled my husband isn’t a giant fan. Unfortunately he works in the construction industry, so he is always traveling from job site to job site, which rarely have a microwave. So…
Miso soup is a simple traditional Japanese soup made from dashi (I sort of think of it as a fish stock bullion. It can be made from seaweed, sardines, bonito, kelp, etc..) and miso paste (There are three types red, white, and mixed). But more then it’s parts miso soup is Japanese comfort food. My…
I’ve really been into cannellini beans lately. I’ve actually been into beans in general since reading “How To Live Well” by Tamar Adler, in Best Food Writing 2012. (The piece is originally from An Everlasting Meal.) But back to the cannellini. They just have the best texture. Kind of velvety and creamy. They thicken soups really…
I have this fantasy. I’m sitting on the deck at one of those white washed seaside restaurants, overlooking the beach. The hiss of the surf and the crash of the waves will be the music to my dinning experience. My boys, worn out after a day of racing up and down the beach, sit and…
So I have a zucchini problem. Actually my house is completely and utterly over run with zucchini. I kind of have waaay to many tomatoes, yellow squashes, and eggplants too… I’m starting to worry the veggies may be planning a coup.
