Win Schuler’s has over a 100 year family history here in Michigan beginning with a cigar store opening in Marshall, Michigan in 1909. A billiard table, bakery and a lunch counter were then added. In 1920 a café was purchased and a hotel with a small dining room. Then in 1924 the spacious Royal Hotel … Continue reading
A comfort classic by Weight Watcher’s from their 50th anniversary cookbook which I made during the cool weather we were having in Michigan a couple weeks ago; low 70’s for early June… I do not think I have ever made this, at least I do not have any recipes for it. Even though it is a … Continue reading
This is a great soup to serve any time – it is very hardy with lots of good flavor. I have tried a few different recipes over the years and finally came up with my own version.
This recipe comes from Cousins Heritage Inn in Dexter, Michigan which changed hands in 2008. Unfortunately, this restaurant did not do well after that with new owners , then a name change.

These are tasty crackers to serve on top of your favorite tomato soup with shredded mozzarella cheese. You will not need such a big bowl as the cheese makes it rich. The oyster crackers are a nice change from crumbled up Ritz crackers. See my recipes Tomato Soup Concentrate and Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup.
There are 3 recipes that I serve to family and friends. The first 2 I use a lot as an appetizer/snack. The third one I have not made yet and the fourth makes your tomato soup extra special with the addition of the seasoned crackers and mozarella cheese. Very addictive!

I like to make this soup soon after I have made a ham dinner on Easter or any other time of the year. In the past I have used Honey Baked Ham bones, but this time I used a regular ham bone from the market. It was very salty even though I was careful about adding … Continue reading
This is another recipe from my early Chinese cooking classes. A perfect light soup to fix before your main entree and was a frequent request by Gene. I have also included another recipe by Weight Watcher’s where shredded chicken is added. Hmm… never put chicken in this soup.
There are 13 different beans and peas that go into this soup mix. Use whichever ones you like just end up with the same total amount when you are done. Certainly you could cut the quantities in half if you do not want to make this much. To be honest, I am not a lima … Continue reading
