Crumbs, Nibbles and Stuff

Well, neither Shannon or I have posted anything since Thanksgiving. Time to get off our butts and get to typin'! Here are some memorable treats I (and my wife) have made since turkey day.

I was going to be in the kitchen a bunch on Christmas Eve day,
so I thought I'd start with a yummy breakfast...

Italian bread drizzled with olive oil...

...covered with over easy eggs...

...and pork green chili from Jack N Grill

And on to the soups I made for Christmas Day from my favorite soup

cookbook from The New England Soup Factory...

Porcini (and other) Mushroom Soup, which I pureed, but should have left a little chunky

Somehow I didn't take a picture of the Corn Chowder with Bacon. That was even better!!!

My very talented wife made a super simple, and unbelievably delicious dessert...

Brownies with cream cheese frosting and crushed candy canes. YUM!

And a Vegetable and Rice soup I made on the 30th...

Remember, always keep rice/pasta/bacon separate from soup and serve those in individual bowls. Otherwise

they will be soft and mushy and that's NOT what we want!

On New Year's Day, my wife and I were in the mood for a yummy breakfast again...

Italian bread, eggs, tomato and basil (the wife)

Italian bread, chorizo, eggs, basil (me)

Hope you enjoyed the post!!
