By Eliot, on January 17th, 2014%

A number of years ago, I was a finalist in a Cooking Light cook-off. This was back when I was OCD about entering recipe contests. I have refocused that obsession to this blog now and I haven’t entered a contest in quite a while. I think my last winner was in 2011.

Pumpkin-Tomato Soup with Beans and Chickpeas

By Eliot, on January 5th, 2014%

I have tons of frozen pumpkin puree in the freezer. You see, I love buying pumpkins for holiday decorations.

I adapted this recipe from A Table in Tuscany by Leslie Forbes. I bought this cookbook on the bargain rack at a local bookstore MANY years ago. I think I actually bought two and gave one to my best friend as a gift. (We both dream about traveling and/or living in Tuscany one day!)

By Eliot, on December 17th, 2012%

I’m dreaming of a white chili…..Just like the ones I used to know.

Every once in a while, our local paper will publish cherished recipes from long ago closed restaurants. St. Michael’s Alley white chili must have been a much loved favorite because it is featured quite often. I made this same recipe about five . . . → Read More: I’m dreaming of a white chili.
