About Me

I am a recently retired high school educator who is learning to spend time doing what I want to do. This is a new challenge in its own sense. It's like walking into a buffet and knowing you can eat all you want and not get full or gain any weight and for once you have absolutely no idea what you want. But I look forward to the journey of figuring it out.

The Soup Club Cookbook

Completely in love with this book!  The Soup Club Cookbook by Courtney Allison, Tina Carr, Caroline Laskow and Julie Peacock has stole my heart and transformed my love of soup and friends to a whole new level.  
It is not a farfetched remark to say I completely love to cook.  I can bake, but I have a great passion for cooking.  This beautifully inventive cookbook melds the savory essences of soup and the comforting addition of good friends to create a concept that warms not only the stomach but the soul.  
Home cooking will never lose its appeal, but the time to complete the effort of making a warm meal is often at a premium.  My children are grown, so I have more time, but I work at a public high school and I see families rushing from one activity to another on a daily basis.  The idea of a soup club, with four other families or friends is very appealing idea. One week of the month each member of the soup club makes a substantial pot of soup and then   delivers the soup and garnishes and sides to each of the other soup club member’s homes.  One   person cooks supper that night, then for the month, that member is done.  The following week another member makes soup and delivers the soups and garnishes or sides to homes.  One week work, three weeks cook free weeknight.   Brilliant!
Not only does the book include soup recipes, every type of soup recipe, but the  book also has many other recipes. Main dishes, breads, pickles, sides, this book is very versatile.  I have tried the zucchini lasagna, amazing!  I also loved the cheddar cornbread. Spiced Pumpkin soup and Winter Corn Chowder were also incredible.  I want to try every soup in this book and the other food recipes as well.  I don’t often write over the top glowing reviews, but this book sold me from the concept beginning and only became more attractive as I delved into the pages. Thank you soup club cookbook authors for your innovation and  wonderful book! I received my wonderful copy of "The Soup Club Cookbook" from Blogging for Books.com!
