Purée of Carrot Soup with Curry and Ginger (via Zoom Yummy)

There are a lot of things that I love about this soup. First of all, its vibrant color. Just mere looking at it gives me energy. Then there are the layers of taste – from the soothing and sweet taste of carrots to the funky ones of ginger and curry. They make this soup a true pleasure to eat.

crêpes (via Janae Monir)

It wasn't until I moved to Germany that I discovered the joy of the crêpe.  Sure, I knew what they were before I lived there, but they never really called out to me.  "Eat crêpes" was never on my to-do list.  Without them, I didn't feel like my life was missing anything.  And, technically, it wasn't.  But then I discovered how much better it is to share your existence with the mildly sweet, delicately thin vehicle of all things delicious, and I w … Read More

If someone asked you to name a nut pie, I bet you would say pecan pie.  Besides pecan, can you name another kind of nut pie?  Most likely not.  I love pecan pie but the heavy sweetness makes my desire for one happen about once a year. Many years ago, my best friend Dolly would bring me Macadamia Nuts from her hometown.  Dolly was everything Hawaiian. Fr … Read More

Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie with Hard Sauce (via Honey-Do Kitchen)

My week of Thanksgiving recipes continues! As does my countdown to Christmas music. Just days away now! It's possible that I'm more excited about Christmas music than Thanksgiving, just sayin.

Anyway, here's a little twist on the traditional pecan pie. … Read More
