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. This recipe comes from Cooking By Hand, … Continue reading
This combination of soup and sandwich makes for a very healthy lunch or dinner. I don’t think I have ever used the word “healthy” in any of my 1100+ posts except for when I mention it in a Weight Watcher’s recipe. So, here it goes – a soup loaded with veggies and a sandwich with … Continue reading
This delicious, rich soup is not your typical tomato soup that you get out of a can (even though that is the only canned soup I will buy). Lots of flavor with three fresh vegetables, tomatoes from a can (or if they are available by all means use fresh tomatoes); seasonings to kick the soup … Continue reading
Yes, a cooking class where the “star” ingredient was Parmigiano Reggiano. When I received an email from Zingerman’s Bakehouse about this upcoming class I signed up right away.

They are all different in their … Continue reading
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
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. It was a favorite for us as Cousins varied their menu and you were always guaranteed to have some new choices when you dined there. I have changed … Continue reading
