Chunky Tomato-Vegetable Soup
| May 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Freezer food, Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
Only I would make soup the day before a string of 80-degree, unseasonably warm and humid days. Because, what you definitely want to eat when the air feels like you’re walking through hot yogurt is….hot liquid. Not so much. Don’t fault me because I never remember to check the weather. I’m on this diet, see,…
Carribean Black Bean Stew
| May 6, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Freezer food, Main Course, Recipe |
Wrapping up a three-day stint manning a promotional booth for my job at one of our affiliate’s meetings, and let me tell you…I’m not a salesman. I don’t get any thrill out of “selling” membership to people, and I really don’t like having to talk to them at all. I much prefer my regular, writing-based…
Potato & Broccoli Chowder

Or, how to use up leftover corned beef if you don’t want hash. And why wouldn’t you, because it is deliciously salty and crispy and even better with an over-easy egg perched on top. But, if you have a god-forsaken cold and can’t taste all those wonderful, bad-for-you flavors, then what’s the point of indulging?…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
| April 13, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Recipe, Vegetarian |
Isn’t that a pretty picture? We’ve all had butternut squash soup. It’s a fairly ubiquitous menu item, especially in the colder months. Squash is a nice winter vegetable – it’s harvested in the fall and it stores beautifully. I’ve kept them on my shelves for months and months. You can roast it, saute it, mash…
Garlic & Gruyere Soup

Oh, the wonderful world of bloggers! A week ago I decided to join Tasty Kitchen, the cooks’ community started by one Pioneer Woman, the idol of many a humble home cook and blogger. Like a food nerd facebook, the site allows members to post their own recipes, share photos of food, link to their own…
Italian Wedding Soup
| February 15, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Freezer food, Main Course, Make-ahead |
OK, I just ate this soup for the third time, and I have to say, DAMN, it’s good. Pretty proud of myself right now, actually, for whipping this up out of nothing in my fridge. I had pulled out a 1/2 lb of ground turkey from the freezer with the intent of making a test…
Spinach & Mushroom Ramen Soup with Egg Rolls

I’m sick. Full disclosure: I hate being sick. Not only do I hate the tired, dazed, snuffling, coughing, achy feeling being sick brings to the body, but I also resent being sick on top of it. Thus when I’m sick, I’m also pissed off because I’m sick. This wonderfully mature quality of mine makes me a…
Smokey Corn & Cheddar Chowder
| December 7, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe |
Oh, man. You have no idea how good this is. And I’m not even blaming copious quantities of butter and cream -because there aren’t any! Score one for the good guys. Yes, it’s not usually hard to figure out why people love creamy soups. Chowders, Cream ofs, Bisques, you name it. These beauties often get…
The plight of the humble lentil
| October 4, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Breadmaking, Main Course, Recipe |
Starting with the mise, as soup ain’t the most photogenic of foods… Try as hard as I might, I have a hard time spreading my enthusiasm for legumes around. I just love beans–baked, in soups, instead of meat, added to salads, mashed up…any way, really as long as the way ends in my belly. Plus,…
Necessity is the Mother of…Soup!
| August 12, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
What do you do when you have 10 different non-analogous items that are hovering around going bad? If you said throw them away, then you clearly have a lot to learn, young grasshopper.No, you don’t throw away perfectly good–or still pretty much OK–food. That’s wasteful. Starving children in China! Starving children on everywhere, actually. Besides,…
