Oatmeal Cookie Peach Cobbler

In spite of last year's horrible drought, the Texas peaches this year have been fantastic! We have had a large supply of peaches in the fridge for days. When some started to get a tad too soft, I thought it was time for cobbler.

Note that I assembled this cobbler after a long day, and misread one of the ingredients -- instead of 11 cups of peaches, I grabbed 11 peaches. This means I had enough filling only for a bread loaf pan, instead of the casserole pan called for.

I used only enough topping that was necessary for this sized pan, and saved the rest for an apple cobbler later in the week Cobblers don't require particularly close measurements....one of the reason they are so easy!

Curried Chicken Soup

I made this soup so often in the 1990s, but frankly had forgotten about it. Flipping through this cookbook, I found this recipe and was flooded with memories. When I was in grad school, this soup was my "feeling decadent" food and reminded me of something people might eat after hitting the slopes -- a thing I have never done. A few decades long, and with a lot more experience with cooking, I realize that this is basically a chicken curry with a thin sauce and the rice already in the meal -- but don't let that in any way discourage you! It's delicious as is and is a wonderful take on what is otherwise chicken and rice soup. I have become a fan of using rotisserie chickens, especially during the pandemic. They are so cheap, and I can use the meat in a soup like this on the day-of grocery shopping, and, crunch the bones down for the freezer for making stock in the future. Of course, this soup can be made with a fresh chicken, but I have modified the recipe bel...

Tortellini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

I've been making this dish for guests for years. This is, sadly, part two of the dinner-with-no-photographs. I'm sure I'll be making this again soon, at which point I'll update this post with pics.

Set over medium heat and cook gently, stirring constantly, for 5-8 minutes, o...

Spicy Bulgarian Tomato Dumpling Soup - Domatene Supa

This was very very good. The soup itself was flavorful and would have been enough as a dinner soup. But adding the dumplings converted this soup into an entree. The couscous addition in the batter makes the dumplings pretty foolproof -- no real concern that they'll still be raw because most of the bulk is couscous, which was already cooked. I opted to cook only enough dumplings as we needed that night. We will have to make future dumplings "on demand" as we eat this as leftovers. Spicy Bulgarian Tomato Dumpling Soup - Domatene Supa Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant Soup 1 onion , diced 4 cloves garlic , minced 3 T olive oil 6 c tomatoes , chopped (fresh or canned and drained) 2 tsp chili powder 2 T flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 4 c stock Dumplings 2 T butter , room temperature 2 eggs , separated 1/4 c couscous 1/4 c boiling water 3/4 c flour 1/4 tsp salt 2 T dill weed , fresh (or 1 tsp dried) 1/3 c milk or stock In medium pot, sa...
