Harira is a comforting Moroccan soup that features chickpeas, lentils, and plenty of deep flavors from harissa paste and toasted spices. Typically, Harira soup includes ground meat, but this easy version is vegetarian (and vegan) friendly! Even better– it mostly makes use of pantry staples, so it’s easy to stock up ahead of time and…

Lemon Garlic Chicken Orzo Soup
Lemon Garlic Chicken Orzo Soup. Inspired by Greek “Avgolemono”, this recipe is thickened with a mixture of lemon juice, pureed garlic, and egg to create a flavor-packed, citrusy, velvety soup. Let me start by saying that the idea for this recipe is not anywhere near “inspired” enough to warrant a blog post intro– there was…

Irish Baked Potato Soup with Corned Beef and Crispy Leeks

Thai Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup
Usually I’m pretty convinced that “make it in the slow cooker” is all I have to say in order to turn some heads around here, but it tends to take a lot more to coerce James and Mike into trying a recipe without ruling it out before they take a bite. Include anything that even…
Tomato Bacon Bisque
Many years of disliking tomatoes and an unfortunate encounter with Campbell’s canned tomato soup had me thinking all this time that any variation of the stuff wasn’t for me.

Afterwards, I vowed to lay off of the buffalo chicken for about a year, and I almost…

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Can Cake
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m no baker. Seriously, if you’re searching for some beautiful work of culinary art, look away now. However, I’ve got to say that these turned out pretty awesome, aesthetically, for the amount of amateur ability that was put into them. They taste even better. …
