Cream of Mushroom Soup
Posted by Chelle as Barefoot Bloggers, Soup/Stew | 11 Comments
Again, I’m sorry, I’m such a bad hostess. I chose this recipe and then couldn’t even get it in by the deadline of last Thursday. My deepest apologies to Ina and all of the Barefoot Bloggers. However, I am SO glad that I made the time to whip this up. This soup is absolutely fabulous! It did take a little bit of time from start to finish (probably about 2 hours), but it was well worth it. This soup is so full of flavor and so much better than any canned soup you might buy.

Who wants some Martha love?
Posted by Chelle as Uncategorized | 0 Comments
Perhaps the better question would be, who DOESN’T want some Martha love? Recently Martha did a show completely dedicated to blogging, which featured the well-known Smitten Kitchen and even Perez Hilton! Martha maintains her own blog, The Martha Blog, and is looking to network with other bloggers. Head on over to the blog post on blogging and leave her a comment, and then link back to her on your own blog, and you might just get an invitation to join Martha’s Circle! How exciting!

I know, I’m horrible. I chose this week’s recipe - Cream of Wild Mushroom soup, mmm. And it’s not here. But due to some work craziness and getting ready to go away for the weekend and being tied up LAST weekend, I just haven’t gotten to this yet. It’s on the docket for next week, and I can’t wait to make it!! Be on the lookout!

Chicken Pot Pie
Posted by Chelle as Chicken, Pies/Tarts | 21 Comments
The extent of my experience with chicken pot pie had only been a recipe that my grandmother shared with me a few years ago. It was really good. Really, really good. It also included about half a box of Bisquick. I kid you not. Now that fall has arrived, I began craving your typical comfort foods, including chicken pot pie. Not really wanting to use so much Bisquick, I went out in search of a more authentic version of this classic recipe. I seemed to hit the jackpot with this version from Williams Sonoma and although an authentic recipe would include a traditional pie crust, puff pastry is seriously one of the best things ever.

Chocolate Biscotti
Posted by Chelle as Chocolate, Cookies, Italian | 17 Comments
I made these biscotti as part of the package I put together for Operation Baking GALS (sorry it’s taken me a while to get this post up!), which also included plain vanilla biscotti and chocolate chip biscotti. These biscotti come courtesy of Dorie Greenspan and were actually the second-ever Daring Baker challenge, back in December of 2006. Since I’ve been wanting to tackle all of the old DB challenges as part of My 100 list, and given that I had already decided to do a biscotti theme for my package, I thought throwing in these biscotti only made sense. I wouldn’t be a good baker if I didn’t taste test what I was shipping off (*wink*), so I made sure to give these a try. I thought they were absolutely fabulous and plan on adding them to my list of things that will go in my Christmas packages this year.
