Hey friends❣️

I'm down for the count this weekend, but I'm not giving up the fight!

​Country French Garlic Soup​

I've got that annoying first flu of the season, and even more annoyingly, it hit me just before I was going to get my flu shot. But I've got my own little recipe arsenal ready to fight back. Garlic soup is up first, but really any of the soups in my collection are so helpful. And tea...lots of tea!

​This cake tops the charts all year long, it's amazing.​

​Hard to believe, but a 2-ingredient appetizer has become my go to for fall and winter entertaining.​

​I absolutely love this example of Italy's cucina povera (poor cuisine.) ​

​Beef Barley Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“
Redeemed myself with the family by making this soup! I had “winged it” with a beef soup last month and it was pretty sad. This soup is everything that soup wasn’t. Full bodied, flavorful, nice mix of textures and a joy to eat. I had all the ingredients except the sherry so I used a bit of dry white wine to deglaze. Otherwise, followed to the T. Happy family! And, it is even better as leftovers!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
