  • Smoky Chicken-Tomato Soup

    This is another catch-up post — we had this spicy (maybe a little too spicy for Lisa) soup last week, but I was too busy to put it up. It comes from Healthy Latin Cooking. Lisa says: Spicy! Chris says: Yeah, it’s perfect… just the way I like it. Lisa says: You always forget that […]

  • Sweet Potato-Bourbon Pie

    Another catch-up post; Lisa made this as an alternative addition to the usual pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. This recipe comes from Cooking Light; the crust was somewhat of a disappointment, but we loved, loved, loved the filling. Lisa says: What’s this “we”? Not all of us loved the filling. Chris says: What? You’re nuts — […]

  • Asparagus Rolls with Herbed Butter Sauce

    Playing catch-up; Abbie actually cooked these for our Thanksgiving feast! They were delicious — asparagus is rolled in phyllo dough, baked, and smothered with butter. Sounds healthy, right? C’mon, it’s veggies! Abbie says: Don’t forget to brush more butter on the top! Mmmm… butter… Chris says: These are awesome, but I can’t wait until later! […]

  • La Pissaladière

Simple and amazingly tasty. We love onions, so I knew this would be a hit. Lisa says: Holy mackerel it smells […]

  • Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts

    Lisa has been trying to convince me to make this brussels sprouts dish that she found on Heidi’s 101 Cookbooks site, and since we had at least one other sprout-lover (Abbie) coming over for Thanksgiving, I decided to give this one a try. The verdict? Pretty gouda! The sprouts never get mushy and don’t really […]
