Filed under: Dinner, Vegetables, Cheese, Recipes, Super Bowl XLII For some reason, Super Bowl foods tend to be pretty meat-centric. When I think game day foods, I think chili (with ground turkey or beef), burgers, steaks or Italian hoagies (also known as subs/grinders/heros/po'boy in other parts of the country) stacked high with salami.

Filed under: Lunch, Dinner, Vegetables, Recipes, How To, Real Kitchens I mentioned before that I spent Thankgiving day out in the Philly burbs with my friend Roz and her family. Every year, Roz is assigned the job of making a roasted squash soup for the meal. I watched her as she made it this year and learned a few really terrific tricks. I am ...

Filed under: Dinner, Recipes, Newspapers, Fall Flavors I still remember the first time I tasted french onion soup. We were out to dinner with my grandparents (I must have been seven or eight) and my sister and I were allowed to order anything we wanted. As we were checking out the menu, I saw a waitress go by with a little crock-shaped bowl with ...

Filed under: Lunch, Dinner, Vegetables, Recipes, On the Blogs Now that it is officially fall, I declare open season of soup (no matter that it is still a balmy 80 degrees during the day here in Philly). I see bowls of vivid orange squash soups in my future. Vats of chicken noodle and beef barley. And buckets of potato leek soup. It's the ...

Despite the fact that I haven't had an edition of the book in my possession for nearly half a decade, ...

I let the season control what is available and the daily finds are always a surprise. This morning I ...

Filed under: Lunch, Dinner, Food Porn, Vegetables, Recipes, On the Blogs, America It almost looks like some strange abstract painting of ''food'' because of the purple color, but it really is a photograph of a bowl of soup. Mercedes of food blog Desert Candy made vichyssoise, a chilled potato soup, but instead of using plain old white potatoes, ...

Filed under: Lunch, Dinner, Cheese, Recipes, On the Blogs, America, Shellfish Living solo means that when I cook, either I have to waste a lot of energy to cook just enough for one person, or else I cook a huge amount, and get sick of eating the same leftovers for five days straight. This means I love -- and when I say ''love,'' I mean luuuuuurve ...
