Like a lot of other people from the US, I grew up occasionally eating casseroles like this one, and find them incredibly comforting on a cool day. The versions we got were generally made using canned cream soups for a convenient sauce base. While it …

It was a good time for more fall soup today, and we still had some fresh chicken broth to use up. To be fair, I could happily eat soups or stews several days a week when the weather’s not too hot. My family did that …

Swedes are pretty serious about their pea soup. It is almost like their version of a good old pot of pinto beans back home. You can easily find canned versions, like this “Soldier’s Pea Soup” from Knorr. (Which is pretty good.) Also refrigerated versions in …

Not too surprisingly, this seemed like an excellent choice for my inaugural recipe on this new blog. (The previous iteration, from 2010.) I also have plenty of photos of past batches ready to go. Cornbread constitutes its own food group, and a somewhat contentious one …
