Pumpkin Coconut Soup
This was an experiment that worked out. Real, REAL good. I needed to use up some pumpkin puree after shooting my homemade pumpkin puree video. I remembered a recipe I made several years ago, a butternut squash and shrimp soup with a coconut milk base, that was AB FAB. And you know, pumpkin is so similar…

Butternut Squash Soup Recipe Video – scroll down for recipe card A while back I made an everything-wilted-goes-in-it soup for dinner and pureed that mother up. You can probably imagine it looked a little on the unappetizing side of things. But then I minced up some radishes, jalapeño, and cilantro and put that on top…

Minestrone Soup Video – scroll down for recipe It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with this site that I-talian food ain’t exactly my specialty. Not to say I don’t like it — I mean what red-blooded American girl doesn’t like noodles and cheese and tomatoes and basil and whatever else Olive Garden orders…

A couple weeks ago I had the extreme pleasure of visiting Johnson’s Backyard Garden and getting a tour of the farm. I got to pull up beets right out of the ground and eat them in the fields under the sun. It was glorious. I met Brenton, who started the farm with his family in…

I guess it’s the same as potato chowder? I’m not really sure what the difference would be since all potato soup recipes I’ve ever seen have cream or milk in them, which makes them chowders, too. So it seems they are the same thing. But then again, not all chowders have milk or cream. The…
Read MoreHow To Make Chili (Texas-Style!)
Chili (AKA chili con carne) shouldn’t be difficult! Let’s keep it simple and radical! Here’s my old man’s Texas chili recipe and it’s ultra-good. Make it as spicy as you like. Then make a Frito pie and tell me Texas isn’t the best place on earth. As far as chili goes, anyway.
