This week’s selection is from Dorie’s cookbook, Everyday Dorie. When this selection was chosen, I actually had beets and Persian cucumbers on hand. I wanted to try cold soup but it was a rainy day and my husband wanted hot soup. We love beets in our house usually with a salad and goat cheese. We…

Holiday Fish Soup
I am posting late as I wanted to make this soup for my mother-in-law’s birthday which was after the first of the year. I had the benefit of reading the reviews of those that had already made this holiday soup. I decided to follow suit and just buy what we normally eat which ended up…
New England Clam Chowder
It has been a while since I have made soup and I don’t think I have made clam chowder before. The hardest part was sourcing all the ingredients including the oyster crackers. My family wanted the traditional recipe as oppose to Dorie’s version. This came together pretty easy the only work was chopping the vegetables….
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
I love all things squash and I was looking forward to having soup again. Roasting vegetables in the oven (butternut squash, onion, carrots and garlic) also makes it extra yummy. I made the full recipe knowing I would have enough for two meals. I have learned from experience that Dorie likes thin soups and since…
Moroccan-Spiced Chickpea and Noodle Soup
I made this lovely soup for my family on Valentine’s Day. It was a welcome addition to our dinner table. The photo was taken on day two in which the soup became more stew-like as Dorie had stated. I preferred the first night in which the soup was thin and broth like. My husband preferred…
Bean and Tortilla Soup
This soup was a hit with the crowd and I liked it more than I thought I would. The soup requires a lot of ingredients and a bit of chopping but it was well worth the work. For the optional add-ins I included canned red beans, Greek yogurt, avocado, onion, red bell pepper, cheddar cheese,…
Mixed Berry Pie
Dorie says “As soon as there are berries in the market, there’s pie in our house”. I went with that theme for this week’s baking assignment for Everyday Dorie. Berries went on sale at one of my markets for $1.98/6oz, I took that as a sign to make a pie. I did not use Dorie’s…
Potato Chowder
For Cook the Book Fridays, we are continuing to make anything from the book that we can find ingredients. I have taken this month to play catch-up with recipes previously done. For this week’s selection I handed my husband the list and asked him to pick a recipe, he chose this potato chowder with bacon….
Balsamic Chicken with Baby Potatoes and Mushrooms
I love a good sheet pan recipe. Baking all things at once and in a single pan is a win, win for me. I tailored amounts to suit my family, no one is a mushroom lover but I put a few in for flavor. I couldn’t find chicken quarters at my market so I just…
Butternut Squash Soup
I Heart Cooking Clubs Potluck Week Butternut squash is one of the few foods my husband does not like to eat so on his recent business trip I invited his best friend over (he eats everything) for a dinner of butternut squash soup. The recipe calls for one pound of butternut squash, I went the…
