Rob got me flowers for gramercy tavern date…and we saw Harry Potter on a date as well.

homemade love + mushrooms = satisfying pizza

Who would have thought?

The fabulous kitchen prep team on Martha Stewart’s show loved these Chewy Molasses-Spice Cookies. I would like to think I got the internship for being myself but I can’t definitively deny that the cookies made a difference.

Say what?!

There is nothing like kabocha pumpkin soup

Serving Size (6)

½ kabocha pumpkin, peeled and cut into thin slices (about 1 inch…watch your fingers!)
1 medium yellow onion, sliced

2 tbs unsalted butter

2 bouillon cubes (I prefer chicken or vegetable)

2 cups hot water

1 cup milk (I like whole but anything goes)

½ cup heavy cream (optional)

Handful walnuts (optional)

Salt and pepper

- Heat butter in soup pot, add the onion slices and caramelize over low heat for about 20 minutes

 -Add the kabocha slices to the pot. Stir for about 10 minutes.

-After adding the hot water and the bouillon cubes, raise to medium heat and cook the vegetables till soft.

-Put the contents into a food processor and puree (or use the handy dandy hand held food processor!)  

- I like to leave some pieces of kabocha but my brother prefers it completely smooth

- Return the puree to the pot, add the milk and keep stirring over low heat. Keep a constant eye on the soup to make sure it doesn’t burn. Only heat the mixture; DO NOT BOIL.

-Drizzle the heavy cream, add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle walnuts
