Basic Tomato Soup

Basic Tomato Soup

This is my go-to when craving comfort food on a cold and rainy day. Even better if there’s a grilled cheese or tuna sando to go with.

Chile relleno

A stuffed, roasted, fresh poblano pepper with a flavorful mixture of beef, beans and cheese. We made extras and they were great left over.

White Bean Chicken Chili

This is a really lovely meal to make on a cold and snowy day. We had it over rice for dinner, then when we reheated it for lunch the next day we had it without and it was equally as good. Even though it starts with a couple of pieces of bacon, it’s a fairly lean recipe. The Cotija cheese is a bright pop of flavor on top and the cilantro really finishes it.

I love when I start getting pounds upon pounds of sweet, fresh, delicious tomatoes from the farm each August.

Another inspiration from Mark’s Daily Apple, this is a staple comfort food in our house. It makes a big batch so there’s always leftovers for reheating, or serving with eggs, or making pizza with. 😉
