I had a craving for baked beans a few days ago and I decided to act on that impulse. It’s probably one of the most rewarding things to do as a human, is it not?
Since the weekend is upon us I figured this would give me plenty of time to soak the beans overnight, prepare the beans and then slowly cook them for 8-10 hours. Getting up on a Sunday at 7AM is just plain wrong, but for some reason I was compelled to do it. Sigh. And now I present to you the final product!

Walking home in sub zero temperatures will chill you to your bones, and this is precisely what happened last night. I knew I had a few hours of prep time to play with as Melanie was working late, so I quickly decided to get a warm pot of soup done up for her arrival.
The soup was actually simple to put together, we actually had everything on hand, and add to that a warm piece of french bread and you’ve got nostalgia in a bowl (well, for me at least! If only I had a fireplace where I could hang my feet near…)
Regardless, this soup will warm you on the coldest winter days! Read on past the jump for my ingredient list, which you can fully modify to your liking, and my basic instructions! 15 minutes to prepare and about 60 to cook….perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon!

Do you have a food/dish that you associate with a season, and reminisce about the flavours and taste as soon as that perfect first seasonal day happens? I’m certain everyone must have one! For me, one of my favourite dish is Chili on a sunny, crisp Fall day. I have been in search of the ‘golden’ recipe for Chili for quite some time. Most of the recipes are a meat lovers dream come true, but I prefer my Chili with more beans than meat and some veggies. On Thanksgiving weekend, my search came to an end. I found THE recipe. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my partner, Andre, and I have.

I felt a little adventurous today, as you’ll notice by the long list of ingredients and the inclusion of 4 pictures throughout the cooking process. This root soup is a favorite of mine, and this latest batch has to be the best I have ever tasted.

Lemongrass & Mushroom Miso Soup
I sometimes get a hankering for lemongrass flavoured dishes, and at about 50c per stalk, there’s just no reason to cut it up, bruise it and toss it in an asian dish. Add to that this seemingly new obsession with soups and you’ve got this lovely and tasty creation above.
With plenty of veggies and flavor this soup has quickly climbed our ‘top soup’ list, and will likely remain for sometime. Read on for ingredients and directions!

Fall is upon us and nothing warms you up quite like a nice creamy soup. Well, on second though, chili does a great job too! I’ve been wanting to make a cream of some-kind-of-veggie soup for ages now, and since we recently purchased an immersion blender, there was no better time than now!
I’ll warn you though, I originally made this recipe 3 weeks ago and have made it twice more since. It’s simply delicious and simple! Read on for the ingredients and directions!
