Easy soup recipes for dinner

December 10, 2019

Homemade soup is my dinner go to. When I can’t figure out what I want to eat, I know that I have lots of easy soup recipes for dinner that I can make in about 30 minutes. I am a soup lover, I can eat it no matter the weather. One of our all time favorites is this easy lentil soup recipe. I make this at least every other month and it never goes to waste.

For me, food in bowls is pure comfort. There is something about holding a warm bowl of food, inhaling it’s goodness and leaning over it to dig in. And a good bowl of soup is like a hug for your insides.

Corvina with butter and herbs is a delicious way to eat fish. This is a great recipe for people who don’t like “fishy-tasting” fish, as corvina is very mild. It is fancy enough for guests, but quick and easy enough for busy weeknights.

Potato Spinach Casserole

November 19, 2019

Cheesy Mashed Potato Spinach Casserole is perfect for your holiday table. Mashed potatoes combined with parmesan cheese, onions, garlic and spinach make this casserole extra delicious! If you really want to up your mashed potato game, try this aligot recipe for the cheesiest mashed potatoes you’ll ever eat.

Generally speaking, I’m a mashed potato purist. I love butter, cream and a hefty pinch of salt in my mashed potatoes. But, every now and then I get out of my own way and try something new. I’m glad I did because this potato spinach casserole is delicious.

It is creamy and cheesy, but not overpoweringly so, and because it has spinach, I feel a little better about the cream and cheese.

This recipe for potato spinach casserole is sponsored by my friends at Idaho® Potato. I am so pleased to work with them. As always, all opinions, recipe and photos are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Pook’s Pantry.

Stuffed Hubbard Squash Recipe

November 14, 2019

Nothing beats this stuffed hubbard squash recipe for the perfect autumnal dinner. Beautiful Hubbard squash filled with wild rice, baby kale and golden raisins, it is a healthy and filling dinner. Ready in about an hour, mostly hands-off cooking time, this is a great low key recipe. If you love stuffed squash, try this quinoa stuffed acorn squash.

Hubbard squash flesh is slightly drier than acorn or butternut and it is a bit earthier in flavor. The bluish-gray color and deep orange flesh is beautiful and makes for a striking contrast.

Any kind of roasted squash is, for me, the perfect fall food and if you like to change up for your holiday side dishes, this would be a great addition to the meal.

Make a batch of this slow cooker bacon jam for gift-giving this holiday season for all of your bacon-loving friends! If you really want to gild the lily, consider swapping out the sausage for bacon jam in this breakfast casserole.

I am an unapologetic lover of all things bacon. I’ve made this jam a handful of times and it each time it disappears before I know what happened. Everyone who tastes it, loves it.

This bacon jam makes a great homemade gift in pretty glass jars tied up with ribbon. It also makes a delicious crostini topping for holiday parties.
