A vichyssoise is a soup usually made with leeks, potatoes, and cream. While it’s typically cold, it can be served warm, like this one. It’s a fancy sounding soup that’s actually quiet easy to make. It’s a one-pot wonder soup as it’s all made in the same pot, making clean-up a breeze. And, everything about […]
Vegetarian
Eggplant Parmesan Melts
I hate eggplant. HATE! But this is the only eggplant I’ll eat and everyone in my family agrees! So, I can’t help but be excited to tell you about our vegetarian dinner tonight – eggplant parm melts! They are crunchy from the panko, so you don’t need to fry them (of course, you can if […]
Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

Basil Walnut Pesto

Trevor’s Famous Coleslaw
We BBQ most nights in the summer – it’s easy to cook and easy to clean-up. I like to make sure we change up what we’re eating each time, but one recipe we always make is Trevor’s Coleslaw. It’s a recipe he brought here from England and every time we make it, everyone raves about […]
