I hope that you all had a lovely Valentines Day? I did. It was the first time in SEVEN years that we have gone out on Valentines Day. Are we old and crochety or what!? Thank God for babysitting. And romantic husbands. But now all the excitement is over and we are heading into another…
This Autumn Vegetable Pot Pie is the definition of hard core comfort food to me. But what you wouldn’t expect is that this is also really easy to make.
When I was invited to join the “Share our Holiday Table” a group of 50 food bloggers who have joined together to support SHARE OUR STRENGTH’S “no kid hungry” campaign, I jumped at the chance.

When I am faced with that organic produce box every week, two things run through my mind: 1) Excitement! What beautiful things could possibly…
Alphabet Soup “Letter Soup” as my daughter Pia calls it! This is a hearty vegetable and noodle soup perfect for kid’s lunches! (Or kids at heart! Feel free to sub in another small pasta!) Take advantage of the fresh vegetables that are in right now, and then use great quality vegetable stock and canned tomatoes….
Summer Vegetable Soup This is a delicate summer soup that I made for my daughter. She has been asking for soup, and I thought I would use up some of the gorgeous summer produce that I have been stock piling. The base of the soup (onions, celery and carrots) is spruced up by using the…
