Scrumptious Homemade Tortilla Soup Recipe

September 24, 2021 by liz

Soup is one of my all-time favorite meals; I could eat it every day during winter, spring and fall. And sometimes in the summer. If you like to make your own stock, soup makes an incredibly delicious, hearty and healthy meal. And making stock is easier than you think. The first thing I do is …

September 18, 2021 by liz

Every so often, you stumble upon a Chardonnay so refreshing and unique, unlike over-the-top oaky-buttery-California Chardonnays, that you want to drink it and cook with it, try every dish with it.

Braising with Wine: a Drunken Pork One-Pot Meal Recipe

September 17, 2021 by liz

I love Syrah. To me, it outshines California Cabernet Sauvignon in pairing with foods, especially those from the Rhône area of France, or cool-climate Syrahs from California. I thought pairing wine with a dish for this post would be a good idea, but then thought using the wine in the dish was even better. I …
