Liquid sunshine. That’s what this is! When you’re feeling worn out, exhausted, vulnerable to every virus, this is even more therapeutic than a catnap in the sun. And the taste is so amazing that you will make it over and over again – even when it’s not soup season.

Parsnip and Ginger Soup
I got myself into a situation last week — too much sugar, and not enough food. I’m old enough to know better (!) but when I’m on vacation and enjoying special treats with special people, such things happen.
Baba Ghanoush (Eggplant Dip)
“Kristina i Köket” (Kristina in the Kitchen) would be a great title for a television show! At least for the next week or so, as I visit my daughter who lives and works in the Stockholm Archipelago. She is an amazing, creative, instinctive, adventurous cook!
Annas Linssoppa – Anna’s Red Lentil Soup
Best friends are like stars — even though you don’t always see them (or live on the same continent!), you know they are always there. Such friends make life wonderful because they are reliable, trustworthy, faithful, and FUN.
Garlic Scape Hummus
Close your eyes. Imagine this: your grandmother sitting on the front porch with a towel across her lap, snapping a huge bowl of beans. Now, picture me on my front porch – taller than your grandma and NOT wearing a pink polyester pantsuit – skinning a large bowl of chickpeas. True story!
Spring Pea Shoot Soup
There are buds on the trees, the temperature remained above freezing last night, shoots from several flowering bulbs have emerged, yet it’s chilly enough to want to sit by the fire and sip some soup. (Lots of S’s there!)
Herb Roasted Vegetables
I have a secret weapon. Yes, I do. And since I am feeling very generous – probably because my tummy is full and my tongue is happy – I will share that secret with you.
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
One of the coolest things is reaching that stage in life when your children become your friends. Parents no longer need to constantly be teaching their kids, but can instead learn a few things from them.
Bourbon Vinaigrette
I seriously DIS-like purchasing salad dressing. Seriously. Just look at the ingredients list. Look how many years before the expiration date. Gross! Look at how expensive it is. And then think about the delicious, budget-friendly, delicious, fresh, and DELICIOUS dressings you can make at home!
