Braised Beef Ribs This is a recipe I shared a few years; perfect for Valentine’s Day… please, please, please try it… unless you’re vegetarian… you probably won’t like it if you’re vegetarian.

Cheesy Cauliflower and Potato Soup Here I present my simple recipe for a hearty Cheesy Cauliflower and Potato Soup, its a soul-soothing comfort meal that’s loaded with vegetables 🙂 I don’t like cauliflower.

Stracciatella Soup This is the quintessential Italian Soup recipe I grew up eating – solely on special occasions. Only at Christmas and Easter.

Chicken and Dumpling Soup This is what we had for dinner tonight and Mike loved it 🙂 I can’t help it, it’s winter and it’s cold and crappy and I love soup. I love everything about soup, the smell and the warmth while it cooks, curling up with a blanket and watching the snow fall…
