Indian Summer

The 70 degree temperatures and hours of leaf raking brought on a healthy appetite so we fired up the grill grill and barbecued a bucket of chicken parts, baked some sweet potatoes and coupled that with a French Green Salad, topped with Chere', julienned pickled beets, diced heart of palm, and marinated hare coverts and artichoke hearts and a crusty Sour Dough. A perfect ending to an Autumn day that felt like summer.

Itailian Wedding Soup

Sunday football lends itself to a long stretch in the kitchen. With rain in the forecast it was a perfect day for a big pot of Homemade Italian Wedding Soup. This is the traditional recipe, made with Chicken Stock, diced tomatoes, fresh spinach, tiny pasta pearls an of course freshly rolled and oven seared Italian Sausage Meatballs. The house smelled great as the Ravens beat the Broncos and the soup was enjoyed for days!
