One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is the left-overs. With as much as we cook it’s never a surprise that we can’t eat it all, which is fine by me. I love a breakfast of cornbread stuffing and turkey before I start putting up my Christmas decorations. Usually we have so much left over [...]

Sometimes you just need some comfort. Yesterday was not a great day for me. In fact, it was terrible. Before I got home I decided that a nice, warm, creamy bowl of soup would fit the bill. I have been craving mushroom soup for a few weeks, ever since having some rather superb mushroom soup [...]

Today’s post is a departure from the norm. Stay with me, there are a lot of good cooking tips to come. A few weeks ago, through the wonders of Twitter, I was offered the opportunity by The Mushroom Channel to attend a lunch hosted by the Mushroom Council. I know what you are thinking. There [...]
