Tomato Basil White Bean Soup

Oh, it was cold this week here in Massachusetts! There were also wind chills that made the cold temperatures feel even colder! Well, it is New England and it does happen. A bowl of hearty soup on a frigid night always tastes so good. One soup that takes very little time to prepare and is delicious is Tomato Basil White Bean Soup.

After placing all of the ingredients in a large pot, stir and then bring to a boil. After boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and simmer for 30 Minutes. It is so easy to prep and tastes so good! Each spoonful has small bits of tomato and beans combined with Parsley and Basil. 

If I already have cooked Rice in my fridge, I add that to the pot at the end, to heat the Rice up. If not, I prepare a small amount of Couscous and put it in the bottom of each soup bowl. Then, add the soup and stir the Couscous into the soup.

Minestrone Soup

The chilly weather has arrived! At dinnertime a bowl of hot soup filled with veggies will taste so good. It is at this time I remember Minestrone Soup. Usually the ingredients are in our pantry and our freezer. Yes, they have been located today, so before dinner I will be getting this soup ready.  These days I stay away from carrots- due to the recall, so they will not be one of the ingredients today.  

If you enjoy a bowl of soup, make a batch of Minestrone this weekend. I freeze the extra portions to enjoy on another cold evening.

My easy recipe for Minestrone Soup . It is delicious!

Beginning of December

Delicious Thanksgiving Day Dessert

Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp

Apple Crisp is always a welcome dessert! Slices of baked apples combined with dried cranberries and raisins that have an oat cinnamon/ nutmeg topping. Yum! A small scoop of vanilla ice cream is always placed on top whenever we enjoy this dessert. I have baked one this autumn. It was so good! Next week the day before Thanksgiving Day I will be baking another Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp. It is such a delicious dessert to enjoy on that special day. And also many other special days!

At this time of year so many restaurants, grocery stores and specialty food shops advertise their Apple Pies. Some may be good, but others are just o.k. Instead of purchasing one, bake a Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp! There is no pie crust to roll out. That is an added plus! It sure does save time involved in preparing this tasty dessert.   

My easy recipe for Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp is here. 

Add Apples to your grocery list for this weekend. The other ingredients you probably already have. If not, add those ingredients, too. This is one dessert that beats buying an apple pie.

Enjoy!
Yummy!
