Inspiring people to create every day recipes
I certainly got my money's worth out of our Christmas ham. Besides the Ham and Swiss Cheese frittata that I made for supper the other evening, I took the ham bone and made 15 bean soup. I purchased a package of Hurst 15 bean soup and followed the recipe on the back of the package. Had I realized that I could have done this in my crock pot, I would have used that method.

What a damp, dreary day it was today. I was off from work, but had to run some errands. After returning from the gym this afternoon, I felt the need for some chocolate. What better way to warm up than with a cup of Williams-Sonoma Classic Hot Chocolate. You use milk, not water, and the W-S hot chocolate is actually shaved premium chocolate. It's way too rich to drink more than 4 ounces. You can pick it up either at the store or online selecting the classic or peppermint flavored hot chocolate. The holidays are officially over and I have a Sunday off! I'll still be working five days a week and two nights, but my hours are reduced. Hopefully, this will allow me to get back into more creative cooking. This past Friday, my daughter came down for a visit and took me to lunch at Cardinal Provisions in Asbury Park. Oh my goodness, what a hoppin' place it was. Perhaps a lot of people took off for the week or began the New Years weekend early. This was my second time here and my daughter's first. We started off with a cup a soup offered in antique coffee cups, which was a pretty presentation. We both had the green minestrone which was delicious on a cold, windy day. She selected the cuban sandwich (pressed Berkshire ham & roasted pork with swiss cheese, mustard, house pickles on ciabatta), which was served hot and juicy. I chose the chicken salad, but served on a crossiant (poached organic chicken, olive oil, toasted pignoli nuts, tarragon, celery, currants, market greens). It was all delicious and filling. |
