Here we go!
I've been throwing around the idea of a cooking blog for quite some time now. My love for cooking began at quite a young age, helping my mom, dad, or aunt in the kitchen. Then came my love for food, which only made my love for cooking grow stronger. To top it off, I married a man who also loves to cook and try new food. One of our favorite ways to spend time together is cooking (and therefore eating). I enjoy trying new recipes and coming up with my own, using fresh ingredients to create homemade meals that are hearty and healthy without tasting "healthy." I feel like it would be a crime to keep these wonderful dishes to myself, and that I should share them with those around me. So without further ado, here goes my first attempt at blogging!
My husband and I have been on the hunt for the world's best tomato soup for quite some time. At last, we finally found it thanks to Serious Eats. This recipe makes a huge batch, which is great for freezing and keeping on hand for those cold winter days. The secret ingredient behind this recipe is the generous use of carrots, which bring a sort of untraceable sweetness to combat the acidity of the tomatoes. And the secret weapon? An emersion blender. Try it out for yourself and tell me if you, too, think it's the world's best tomato soup!
Swedish Meatballs is a dish that I grew up making with my dad at least once a month. Back in those days though, the seasoning and sauce came from a packet. I have spent the last year creating the perfect Swedish Meatball recipe that uses more ingredients from scratch, but still has that delicious nostalgic taste from my childhood.
This flavorful dish is a great way to get a taste of Indian cuisine with easily obtainable ingredients for us Wyomingites. We always have a fair share left over, which is wonderful because I think it tastes even better the second day! This recipe was adapted from The Skinnytaste Cookbook.
