Cinnamon Roll Stuffing

A fun twist on thanksgiving stuffing that uses cinnamon rolls as the bread!

Caramelized Celery Linguine

Linguine tossed in a sauce of caramelized celery, celery juice, leaves, and seed for a full celery experience, inspired by Portlandia!

I wouldn’t exactly say that I was snowed in, but after being out all day in the gross snow/rain mixture, when it was time to finally be home I didn’t want to leave. I decided to try and make a soup based off things I only had in the house. The soup came out amazing and really warming on such a cold night, and I think it was mainly because of a slab of delicious bacon I was able to grab on a recent trip to the Culinary Institute of America with Jones Dairy Farm. The smokey bacon really gave the soup a deep warming flavor. Homemade stock, a can of tomatoes, and noodles from a package of ramen (without the flavor packet) rounded things out. Honestly there was nothing I would have rather eaten that night.

Beer Cheese Soup in a Pretzel Bowl

I wanted to make these pretzel bowls for awhile, but the first time I tried it was a total disaster. I tried to make a lattice bowl, but the whole thing totally fell apart. I put some soup in it, and the soup just drained right out of the bowl. For the second try, I made a thin piece of dough to stick the pretzel to and it really held everything together in the water bath and oven. They came out so awesome and were perfect to serve this cheesy soup in! They would also be great for a cheddar broccoli soup or any cheesy soup really.

Hot Ham Water Soup

Finally there’s a date! The much awaited 4th season of Arrested Development will be available on Netflix in full on May 26th. To celebrate, I am dedicating a week of recipes to the greatest food moments of the first 3 seasons. Today is one of my all time favorites, Hot Ham Water. In this episode (s3-e9 “S.O.B’s”), Lindsay is trying to be more of a domesticated mother figure to the family, and her first attempt at cooking dinner is a dish she likes to call Hot Ham Water. I took inspiration from this scene to make a flavorful ham broth and load it up with some sauteed ham, collard greens, and udon noodle. Tasty stuff!
