Quick & Easy Vegetarian Chili

I don’t know about you, but I’m more than ready for the cold winter weather to end!  I’ve had enough, I fold.  Althoughhhh, it’ll be a sad day when I move my furry boots to the back of the closet.  And, I will miss my thick, cozy sweaters and my new wool hat.  Most of [...]

Spiced Red Lentil Soup

I’ve had lentil soup on my mind for quite a while.  It’s been at least a few weeks since I’ve made soup, and even longer since I’ve cooked with lentils.  But, last weekend, as the temperatures in New York dipped into the teens (brrr…much too cold for my liking), it seemed like the perfect time to [...]

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and a fantastic time closing out last year! I spent the last week of 2012 in one of my most favorite places – Northern California. I swear, I fall more in love with it every time I visit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond happy [...]

Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup

A couple weeks ago my friends over at Greatist mentioned they were planning a fun feature for National Chicken Soup Day (it’s this coming Monday), and asked me if I’d like to play along and contribute a recipe.  Ummm…yes, of course!   It only took me a fraction of a millisecond to tell them I [...]

Creamy Sweet Potato Soup

October 19, 2012

  From now until next summer you can find me eating soup by the bucket load.  Ok, fine.  Maybe I’m ever so slightly exaggerating.  I’m not totally certain about my ability to eat a bucket of soup….well, at east in one sitting.  But, I do really, really, reeeaaalllly love soup!  Enough that I could eat [...]

Classic Beef Stew

October 17, 2012

  This past weekend I traveled out to Kentucky to see one of my younger cousins get married.  Have you ever been to Kentucky?  It is so beautiful!  Absolutely, undeniably, awe-inspiring beautiful.  I had a hard time focusing on the road while I was driving.  Instead, I wanted to keep staring at the rolling hills [...]

Creamy Asparagus Soup

There’s a few things I do year after year, every spring, like clockwork. Like, give my apartment a good spring cleaning. And, give my closet a good purge.  When in doubt, throw it out (or, give it to Goodwill)! I get a new bottle (or two…ok, maybe it’s more like three) of bright, colorful nail polish. Usually [...]

Fennel-Leek Soup

November 1, 2011

I learned re-learned some important lessons over the past couple weeks.  Life throws you lots of curveballs.  Rather than fight it, it’s easier to let things go & just go with it.  I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m a planner, through and through.  I love planning and organizing and list-making.  When I know that [...]
