Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, pho soup is a staple at densely populated Vietnamese restaurants across the region. So of course – my favorite thing being a homebody and drinking copious amounts of wine with the sous chef and our dog-child – why go to a restaurant, when you can make it right…

Broccoli & Cheddar Soup
I’ve found a new way to consume copious amounts of cheese, and it comes in the form of soup (no surprises there…). This may actually be cheese, disguised as soup, and it couldn’t make me any happier. And the broccoli? That’s just for show. It’s part of the disguise. Now I clearly have a soup obsession,…
Cheesy Meatball Skillet in a Spicy Tomato Sauce
Oh, that skillet of golden, cheesy meatballs buried in a wondrously delicious tomato sauce? That’s just my portion. No big deal. Just don’t ask where the sous chef’s is… These meatballs are completely addicting. Oneeeee more won’t hurt [read: I’m in total denial. I was stuffed.]. But this one of those dishes that practically warms the…
Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Bacon and Thyme
My sweet, sweet friends, this cauliflower chowder is e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. This is seriously so healthy (pretty much because of the bacon, duh), and you wouldn’t even know it, because it’s just that yummy. I think I “taste-tested” half the pot of soup, which is totally okay and normal, so no guilt here (#yolo). And listen, if you…
Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
This is one of those recipes that has been on my bucket list. I know, most people are like, “I want to go to Thailand,” and “I want to go skydiving,” and I just want to drink red wine, and make fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-your-mouth short ribs. Can you blame me? The sous chef certainly didn’t. He…
Creamy Tomato Soup with Bacon & Cheddar
If you’re questioning whether the sous chef and I are even eating solid foods anymore (between this, the pumpkin bisque, french onion soup, chicken chili, and wine, of course — wait, can you eat wine? I mean, if I could, I would, so we’ll leave that right there), the answer is… questionable. But it apparently…
Chicken Chili Stew with Sweet Potatoes & Kale
I don’t even have words. Okay I found a couple: I was hoping – really HOPING (as in fingers crossed) – this would be delicious. And it was better than delicious. I was a bit skeptical of chicken chili – because who doesn’t love beef chili with bacon and stuff – but you guys, this…
