Tortellini Soup


Tortellini Soup

I was hungry for tortellini soup this week and decided to make a pot of it.

In a large kettle, I browned minced garlic in butter and then added chicken broth, stewed tomatoes, minced parsley, chopped spinach, cheese tortellini, and salt and pepper to taste. I covered and simmered until it was ready to eat.

It was delicious, especially because it was a cooler day here in northern Virginia.

Afternoon Snack


Afternoon Snack

Before starting to prepare my evening meal, I enjoyed an afternoon snack of fresh strawberries with whipped cream, chocolate chip cookies and fresh brewed coffee. There's nothing better than taking the time to enjoy a snack.

I love spending time in the kitchen. I'm more of a cool/cold weather cook, because I spend a lot of my time outside during the warmer months.

I'm going to try to spend more time creating dishes in the kitchen, along with my fiber art creativity.

I love nature and it is represented in my kitchen window. It changes as I gather new treasures to place there.
