In my area, we are about two weeks into autumn – warm sun, but crisp wind. What better time to try out a new beef stew recipe? Recently, I headed back to my collegiate alma mater for a milestone reunion. I haven’t been back to campus for over a decade, so this was a little out of my comfort zone. Who was I going to … Continue reading Feeling Fall Comfort
That’s right everybody! This recipe brought to you by MM’s Momma! Let’s start by addressing some inaccuracies in this article. First, I recognize that my mother has an alternate acronym on this site. And while I don’t actually refer to her as Momma, doesn’t that just sound more appropriate for a chili recipe? Also, speaking of chili recipes, this isn’t actually a chili “soup” recipe. … Continue reading Triple-M’s Chili Soup Recipe
Also entitled: What Not to do in the Kitchen. MM and I were able to finally travel to one of our favorite cities (domestic, of course)! We were only there for a weekend, and spent our time walking around the familiar streets, and eating fantastic food. We were able to make it to the art museum as well, which we hadn’t done for years, and … Continue reading An Ode to Seasoning
MM and I were looking for something simple, comforting, and warm during a couple of rough weeks in our profession. The tough weeks didn’t really inspire me to try something new – weekends were to be used for relaxation, disconnection, and just flat out staring into empty space while breathing very slowly… Yoga is my friend. In any case, we went back to a tried … Continue reading Warming up a chilly month

And let’s be honest – most stews include some kind of tomato paste, either to give the stew … Continue reading Bacon and Beef Stew
When I’m looking to get warm on a chilly day, I typically crave soup. Either chicken and dumpling or noodle, or my favorite chicken enchilada. But a few years ago, while visiting my parents, my mom made this particular soup. Not being one who usually likes vegetables, I was a tad wary, but found that I actually liked the stuff! The recipe comes from Taste … Continue reading Vegetable (and Chicken) Chowder
Sometimes, a little chicken soup will soothe the soul… This past weekend, MM and I headed to his hometown to celebrate his grandmother’s 90th birthday. We wanted to take her out to a really good dinner on Friday night, and then MM’s mom, P, was going to take us all to a nice lunch on G’s actual birthday. Unfortunately, those plans were cancelled, because P, … Continue reading Chicken and Dumplings
There is a Mexican restaurant near my office that has one of the best enchilada soups I have ever had. Last year, I started trying to find a recipe, really only so that I knew what the nutritional values were – sometimes tracking your food intake can be a tad difficult. Nothing that I was finding matched what I assumed was in this particular soup. … Continue reading Chicken Enchilada Soup
