Pepperoni & 5 Cheese “Calzonies” w/ Quick Basil Marinara Dipping Sauce. Hands down, I would have to say that some of my fondest memories of a fun time cooking in my kitchen are those that include my son, in his younger years, helping me out in some way. Whether I gave him the simple yet important task of simultaneously stirring and keeping an eye on the contents of a pot or pan while those ingredients caramelized or sauteed; whether I asked him to add a pinch or two of a few different seasonings or spices of his choosing to a simmering dish; or whether I asked him to add a spoonful of filling to something we would then “press-n-seal” together and bake off, those precious moments of working side by side together on a little meal are utterly priceless to me, and absolutely unforgettable.

Finding simple snack preparations whose flavors are enticing to the youngsters in our lives is an engaging way to get them excited about participating in the kitchen, the heart of a home. Taste what’s good and pass it on. Ingrid (Makes approximately 32 “Calzonies”) Ingredients: Greek Hand Pies - Lemons for Lulu. Grilled Cheese with Pesto. Grilled cheese with pesto.

Grilled Cheese with Pesto

Do it, and you won’t regret it. Even my 84-year-old grandma who literally wrote a cookbook about delicious appetizers thinks this combo is the bee’s knees. I always use Tillamook Extra Sharp cheddar cheese and my mom’s homemade bread (which she sells at the Corvallis Farmers’ Market on Saturdays). While the food-processor method for making pesto does the trick, I’ve been having fun chopping everything with just a big knife, kinda like in this video by Tiger in a Jar (though not quite so pretty).

Paprika Chicken Soup Recipe. Soul-warming dish for the chilly Fall afternoons, this Paprika Chicken Soup is perfect for weekday dinners. I know. It’s soup. But it’s fall and I not only bake a lot but also cook our favorite dishes. As soon as the chilly mornings arrive, my Husband and I make a list of our favorite Fall dishes and add new ideas that we would like to try. Soups are a big part of it. Besides, this week is the week for all of the TV show fans.

Monday is the “Blacklist” (NBC), Tuesday means “Parenthood” (!!!) French Onion Soup - Cuisineous. In the past week, I have made two different soups. Seriously, who does that? At any rate, French onion soup was first up and, my oh my, you’ve got to give the French a lot of credit here. While we all know the cheese is the main reason anyone orders this soup at restaurants, this week, I was having a hard-core hankering for the broth. That sweet oniony and beefy broth is just so warming, and since I’ve finally figured out how to properly caramelize onions (see my caramelized onion panini for the full procedure), I figured I’d try my hand at this soup. Actually, whilst caramelizing the onions (yup, I said “whilst”) I realized that I actually preferred not to take them down all the way to beautiful dark brown oniony jamishness. Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup #SundaySupper. Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup is smooth, creamy and a little spicy! This delicious and health soup is easy to make and pure comfort food.

Since today is officially the first day of Fall, the Sunday Supper theme for this week is “Fall Foods.” I had several ideas for this one, but after making Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup, it was the obvious choice to celebrate the season. A warm soup made with sweet potatoes, that is smooth and creamy, is perfect comfort food for when the temperatures start to get cooler. A little spice from the chipotle chile adds just enough heat and depth to make it interesting.

As an optional topping, I added some Greek yogurt, which was a cool counterbalance to the spicy chipotle chile. Be sure to check out all of the incredible Fall-inspired recipes below!

New England Clam Chowder recipe. Hey All!

New England Clam Chowder recipe

So the weather in LA has been kind of funky lately. We keep getting a weird blend of chilly and warm weather. Seriously, one day I’m out in a spring dress with sandals trying to get a tan while I run errands and the next I’m bundled in a sweater, scarf and boots. It’s weird and kind of annoying. Plus, it’s making me get sick….or was it because I was up in Carmel this weekend, running around the beach in 50 degree weather without a jacket or close toed shoes…hmm…but I digress. Potato Soup - The Cooking Bride. Hot Potato, Hot Potato I made this recipe for the first time last winter and have been craving it for a few months now.

Potato Soup - The Cooking Bride

But for some reason or another I never got around to making it again until just recently. I know the official start of spring was a mere two days ago, but I just had to squeeze it in. In some places of the world, winter tends to overstay his welcome. Baked potato cheese balls and a decent salad. (Scroll down for english)

They happen to combine into a pretty amazing grilled cheese sandwich. Our celebration of National Grilled Cheese Month continues! Tex-Mex sloppy Joe sandwich. The other day, I was in a taqueria eating a sandwich stuffed with a spicy, saucy picadillo that was rich with tomatoes and chiles.

Tex-Mex sloppy Joe sandwich

It was delicious, but it was also a bit of a mess as the meat kept sliding out of the bun every time I took a bite. Finally, I gave up on using my hands and grabbed a knife and a fork. While I was tucking into the sandwich, it reminded me of something but I couldn’t figure it out. Then it occurred to me: this was a Tex-Mex sloppy Joe.

Ah, the sloppy Joe—that much loved sandwich often found at tailgates, school cafeterias, and the homes of busy families. And it’s true—they're are a snap to make, but their sweet and savory flavor belies their simplicity. That said, while the sandwich isn’t very neat, some say actually it was named after a Havana bar popular in the 1940s and not its less-than-tidy appearance. Lunch Recipes: ''Something Different'' Sandwich Recipes - Martha Stewart. Red chile seafood chowder. For the Super Bowl, my friends and I usually serve food that represents the teams. And with Boston and New York playing this year, clam chowder seemed like the perfect fit.

But since I’m not committed to either the Giants or the Patriots, I couldn’t decide which style of chowder to offer. Did I want to serve the comforting cream-based New England style or did I want to serve the more lively tomato-based Manhattan style instead? Or perhaps I could offer both, and have people choose their favorite in a match called The Chowder Bowl. Semolina dumpling soup. Red pepper soup. Balthazar’s cream of mushroom soup. Grilled Cheese Social. Sweet potato and sausage soup. Because I am, in all likelihood, about seven years old on the inside but old enough on the outside to know that this might never change, I’m just going to admit from the start that the concept of sausage soup makes me giggle.
