Virginia Peanut Soup

Posted on July 31, 2008 by

Here’s another recipe from the cookbook I’ve been using all week: Heavenly Delights. At first I was going to cut everything in half, since it serves 10-12 people. Then I thought, well, 2 quarts halved is only 4 cups (right?). … Continue reading →

Garlic & Cilantro Soup

Posted on July 23, 2008 by

OMG, is this soup good! First, let me say that I didn’t exactly follow the recipe. The recipe calls for fresh cilantro, and I bought this cilantro in a tube, since I usually can’t use the fresh herbs fast enough … Continue reading →

Wild Mushroom Pancakes with Chive Butter

Posted on July 22, 2008 by

I would for sure make these again. The texture was a little bit doughy, but that may have been because I had the batter ready to go for over an hour (Toby’s train was over an hour late getting in). … Continue reading →

Swiss Chard with Chickpeas and Couscous

Posted on July 16, 2008 by

This was another recipe that I tore out of a magazine (Real Simple) a while ago and forgot about. To me, this kind of seems like a fall/winter dish, but I made it today anyway. And it was good! I … Continue reading →
