Garlicky Roasted Asparagus & Tahini Soup

Garlicky Roasted Asparagus & Tahini Soup

It’s February! For better or for worse, February is the longest short month of the year. On Friday, our dear friend Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, making everyone up and down the North East groan in despair. Hasn’t this winter been brutal enough?! And just to bring the point home, we were slammed with below freezing temperatures again early this week. It doesn’t look like we’re going to be catching a break anytime soon.

The only solace we have are warm, cozy soups. Garlicky Roasted Asparagus & Tahini Soup, for example, steaming mugs filled with Nutella Hot Chocolate, and lots of chunky layers. I may or may not have a set of grey fleece PJs with a fleece-lined hood that I rock every chance I get. (more…)

6 Ingredient Fresh Mushroom Soup

Fresh Mushroom Soup

I’ve been fueling my soup obsession with every kind of vegetable soup imaginable. My goal is to make soups that require little ingredients, little time, and little (okay fine, lower) calories by leaving out the cream. A few months ago, when I featured videos on my Instagram Story of my mushroom soup, a few friends reached out asking for the recipe. At that time, I had sent over a rough recipe of my soup. But the more people asked for the recipe, the more I realized I needed to get it up on the blog. This Fresh Mushroom Soup has just 6 simple ingredients, and while I prefer my soup pureed, a chunkier soup would also be delicious. (more…)

It’s (finally) sweater weather!

There are two seasons I love more than any other — Spring and Fall. And for good reason. My reasons may or may not be entirely fashion-based. No judgment, right? But really, I’ve been waiting all September and October to start wearing my cozy layers and chic boots. (more…)

Roasted Cauliflower and Green Pea Soup

So one day, the day I was prepping for my dinner party and Ultimate Charcuterie, I was at none other than my favorite grocery store, wegmans. I was stocking up on all the cheeses, meats and goodies I wanted to feature on my board. And at the very last second I picked up what I thought was chunks of parmesan cheese. It wasn’t until I started putting the Charcuterie board together that I realized I had actually picked up parmesan rinds. Parmesan rinds are hard and practically inedible. Devastated, I just threw them into the fridge thinking I’d figure out what to do with them later. (more…)

Crockpot Beef Pho

‘Tis the season for short days, long nights, chilly weather, cozy layers… and lots of Pho!

Let me tell you about my very first Pho experience (it was awful, by the way). My friends had been raving on and on about Pho, which I quickly learned is pronounced, fah, and decided they wanted to plan a Pho night. It was Ramadan, and I was starving to begin with. The place was nothing to write home about. It included lots of basic chairs and tables, some Vietnamese décor, and of course only accepted cash. (more…)

When you think soup, you think a steaming bowl in a cozy corner on a chilly day, right? That’s what I generally think when I conjure up an image of soup, before discovered soup makers! Just check these ones and imagine next:

It’s 97°F, the day after the hottest day of the year, you have the chills, you’ve lost your voice, and you’re battling a stuffy/runny nose along with a hacking cough. Pretty little picture I painted there, huh? (more…)
