Chickpea & Escarole Soup, Jim Lahey's No-Knead Bread, Blistered Green Beans & More Recipes to Make This Week
|
Friends, hello. As you read this, I am heading back north with my family for an early hockey game, of course. We had a wonderful few days with my sister's family, most of which included lounging and drinking coffee, with the downtime broken by brisk walks and cooking for the many little hungry mouths. Last night, my sister served chili (basically this recipe with a bag of frozen corn added) aside peasant bread, and it was everything I was craving — warm, hearty, beany, and loaded with vegetables. I plan on making a big pot of something as soon as I get home, maybe the above-pictured chickpeas with escarole or this simple black bean soup or this pantry tomato soup, which my children love. Find a few more of my favorite soup recipes below. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Stay cozy, Friends 👋 ❄️🍜

Good morning, Friends. Twice in two weeks, I heard two women, my dental hygienist and a fellow hockey mom, describe their favorite crockpot meal: Place chicken breasts, taco seasoning, a jar of salsa, a can of black beans, and canned or frozen corn into a crockpot. Cook on low heat all day. Many of you know, I love my crockpot for beans (see here, here, and here). But as my blog's recipe archives reflect, I have had little success with my slow cooker otherwise. So I was skeptical as I found...
Greetings from Buffalo, Friends! I am here, of course, for a hockey tournament, and, incredibly, the sun has been shining, a gift as every game is being held at an outdoor rink. Yesterday, as I watched in my fleece-lined leggings, wool socks, and down vest, I was sweating! I had to strip a layer! How nice?! This week, I made a chocolate variation of this favorite whipped cream cheese frosting. If you are unfamiliar with this recipe, let me quickly review its virtues: it calls for cold cream...
Hi Friends, This week my oldest daughter turned 16, and we celebrated with cake and a trip to the DMV, which was shockingly painless. While she won't be making any solo trips to the grocery store or shuttling her siblings around for another six months, the prospect of having another driver in the house is thrilling. This week, too, the giant sandwich roll experiments continued, and I've finally posted the recipe. As noted in previous newsletters, this recipe is inspired by Jim Lahey's...
