French onion soup has always been a favorite for me and also my family. I often get requests to make it – I think it’s because of my homemade Parmesan croutons and some family members eat them as a snack. This recipe has been on my “to make” list since I developed a love for … Continue reading
This recipe comes from Food52 “Genius Recipes” and to quote them, “This soup might seem plain, but trust us. Paul Bertolli, who was at the helm of Chez Panisse and Olivets for over 20 years, knows exactly how to make a vegetable become the best it can be.

She specializes in full service event planning … Continue reading

Gene was fortunate to be in attendance at the Masters Golf Tournament one year with my Uncle, who belonged to Augusta National Golf Club, and my Dad. He bought this cookbook for me knowing I … Continue reading

This one from Weight Watcher’s has a PointsPlus value of 5 per serving (this recipe serves 4) and another one from Augusta Country Club called French Onion Soup. They are all different in their … Continue reading
