By Eliot, on March 6th, 2014%

For my last post, I presented a recipe for “French Peasant Bread” and mentioned how wonderful this bread was to accompany soup. I teased you with an upcoming potato soup and decided to continue my peasant theme.

Just waiting for the soup.

Rosemary-Pumpkin Soup with Pancetta

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.

Anyhoo—one . . . → Read More: Rosemary-Pumpkin Soup with Pancetta

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 get my money’s worth because I buy for Halloween, leave the pumpkins on the front steps for Thanksgiving, and then they finally meet their demise in a hot oven as they roast. . . . → Read More: Pumpkin-Tomato Soup with Beans and Chickpeas

By Eliot, on January 18th, 2013%

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!)

OCD Recipes Revisited: Country French Soup

By Eliot, on January 10th, 2013%

As I was looking over my list of winning recipes, I was struck by a couple of things.

I used a lot of prepackaged and processed foods for these contests. Basically because these prepackaged and processed food companies were sponsors. 🙂

Here’s a list of a few winners that were sponsored by food companies.

I’m dreaming of a white chili.

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.

Have you noticed the pumpkin recipes I have been posting lately. I am in good company as I lurk around the internet (and Pinterest). There are a LOT of great pumpkin recipes out there.

That must mean one thing….Halloween is almost here and Thanksgiving will follow close behind.
