Soup Season!

The cold has set in, and as Fall staves off Winter, the inevitable frost will bite.  However, soup is ever-warming, a meal-in-one, and typically results in many servings for under $2 a meal.

So as to help me remember how many and what kind of bowl-icious concoctions I've created or made this season..."the soup is on!"  This list will grow as it gets colder and colder...check back often (soup, stews and "stoups" are my favorite)!

1.  Cauliflower Cheese Soup from the Moosewood Cookbook 













2.  Quick and Spicy Tomato Soup, Giada De Laurentiis

I've been remiss...

I've been so negligent, I don't even know where to begin.  The whole point of beginning a blog was my attempt at trying to document all that I make and write down any semblance of a "recipe" corresponding to whatever deliciousness I throw together.

I've failed!

Anyway, a few photos of what I've been up to since July...

July 4:  Red, white, and blue Sangria trio:

All-American Shrimp boil with Old Bay, corn, Yukon gold potatoes, all of course boiled in beer, served with melted butter: 

Blurry, I know; but oh-so-delicious white wine, sundried tomato, Cannellini bean, fresh home-grown parsley, and garlic steamed Maine mussels served with steamed Broccoli rabe and crusty wheat baguette:
