Review: Curried Butternut Squash Soup – The Minimalist Baker

Curried Butternut Squash – The Minimalist Baker Fall is in the air and in our house this begins the tradition of “Soup a Week”. Each week I make a yummy soup starting in fall all the way through until spring. I have many “tried and trues” and also love trying new soups. This soup is quickly becoming a “tried and true” ! It is easy to make, tastes great and is good for you! Plus it satisfies that fall feeling. MMMmmmMMM. Time: 30 minutes Ease: Easy – the only tricky part

Let’s Talk Trash-Trash Soup that is!

Trash Soup You can make soup with just about anything! One of the things I like to do is use up the leftovers from the week and make a nice hearty soup! Some basics: First saute your aromatic veg until tender or translucent (onions, celery, carrots) if adding garlic do this towards the end of this process as it burns easily if not careful. Keep a good stock or broth on hand. I like to buy the natural ones when they are on sale, because let’s face it though I may have the be

Looking like food truck food this week: Sandwiches, Dumplings, Noodles & Soup

Don’t let someone like Anthony Bourdain know this (he is pretty vocal about wanting meat & fat, though if you let him know it wouldn’t matter since we’ve never met and he couldn’t care less what I say), but I really like the challenge of making fatty, rich foods healthier and have no one realize the difference when they eat it, that said I’m all for a little sausage, cream, butter, and bacon too. Balance and moderation are key! I encourage you to make any adaptations you wou

Reviews from the Food Network, Rachel Ray, The French Laundry, & Olive Garden

This week has been a good week for me to remember to practice what I preach. I have taken the time this week to set the table, add special touches, invite friends over and try to make each meal a special even, if it was simple. I don’t always succeed, but there is so much joy in the trying! I hope you will continue or start to give it a try. We really enjoyed this week’ meals and had enough leftover to have friends over to help us finish them off. My friend it calls it th

Reviews: Peruvian Beef, Chili, Tilapia with Brandied Garlic Sauce & More…

I also rarely add flour to my cornmeal, but this is a preference thing. It is often more crumbly with just cornmeal, but so good. Another must and I mean must is a cast iron frying pan. You must heat the pan with oil in it (we use crisco down here, if not lard) and then pour the mixture in and when you hear it sizzle you will know you you’ve done it right.

Sandwiches, Soup, Haluski, and Baked Potatoes: Keeping it Simple

Baked Potato Bar We make dinner (meals) for more than just keeping people fed it is about friendship, conversation, connection and relationship. As you practice these types of meals you will come to expect them and enjoy creating them. Do you ever think “I miss you” about the people you see every day? I do. It is usually because I was too busy to stop and connect, but bringing back dinner into our lives gives us just a moment to learn about each other and remember each oth

I Love it When you get Fresh!

Dinner doesn’t have to be a chore and you don’t have to pull out the boxed mixes and packets to pull it off in time. I promise, after a while you will embrace fresh, fresh, fresh! It really doesn’t take much more time, if any, to use fresh ingredients. The real issue is in our heads-it’s mental. It seems like it is too hard, too time consuming, too involved etc., but the truth is that with a little practice you will be making fresh meals in minutes for your family and fri
