Passion for food

 I love simple recipes that seem fancy, and this wonderfully creamy pumpkin bisque soup fits the bill! This is a great recipe for fall, or really any time! It's quick to make and can be flavored however you would like, yes even the dreaded pumpkin pie spice, if you want!          Creamy Pumpkin Bisque Soup Recipe:    Click for Printable version

  Lets make one of my favorite snacks, these soft & chewy home made pretzels! They are soft and chewy, but also a little crunch in all the right ways! And the best part is they're really very easy to make. And of course we need a nice easy cheese sauce to go along with them which only has 3 ingredients!           Soft Pretzels With Cheese Sauce Recipe:    Click for Printable version

  Today we're going to make a new twist on the American Southern classic biscuits and gravy with this, Sausage and Gravy Pizza! I really love this, and all the comfort food goodness of the original biscuits and gravy plus the buttery crunch of the perfect pan pizza crust!          Sausage & Gravy Pizza Recipe:    Click for Printable version

  I really love this combination of toast / roasted rice along with a super quick and easy cashew pork stir fry, and once you try it i'm sure you will love it too! The complex nutty flavors from toasting the rice really pairs perfectly with the cashews & pork.          Cashew Pork with Toasted Rice Recipe:    Click for Printable version

  Cauliflower fried rice is a great trick to cutting out the carbs, or just making a lower calorie version of your normal pork fried rice! You can even buy "pre-riced" cauliflower, but it only takes a minute or two to chop one up ourselves, even less if you have a food processor. Like with any fried rice you can mix and match in whatever vegetables and meats you want!           Pork Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe:    Click for Printable version

  Today we make this wonderful chutney recipe with dried peaches and apricots! I always remember having this chutney growing up, my parents were from South Africa and they really loved it. So today we learn how to make it ourselves. And the results were exactly what I was hoping for, even better than what you can buy!          Mrs Balls Original Chutney Recipe:    Click for Printable version
