Seems it’s that time of year again when we celebrate dad, so what better way to honor him than with his favorite meal? This week Isabel, owner of FamilyFoodie.com and the founder of the #SundaySupper Movement, is hosting a virtual shindig celebrating Father’s Day.

As I sit here writing this post, I chuckle at how I suspect my friends will react when they see a vegan recipe coming through. You see, I come from a long line of meat eaters. Heck, I just went in with a couple of friends on a split-quarter of an organic, grass-fed cow. Yep, […]

Almost an afterthought, I tossed some Mezzetta tamed jalapenos in this soup, and the resulting dish had an amazing flavor — definitely worth trying. Of course, some folks need to have a little meat in their split pea soup, and chopped prosciutto (served on the side) is just the right flavor and weight to blend […]

Halloween has passed – I am on an all pumpkin diet 🙂 Start with a pumpkin about the size of a volleyball (It won’t matter if it is too small or too big – you can correct that later). Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast the pumpkin in a roasting pan (to catch […]

I’ve been making this soup for years, and it’s constantly evolving. In this latest version, I’ve introduced the sweetness of carrots and the creaminess of Gouda. The crostini garnish is a more flavorful substitute for the traditional crouton. Split Pea Soup with Gouda Crostini Save Print Prep time 30 mins Cook time 3 hours […]
