Cheddar Ale Soup
It has been POURING rain here for about a week now; like serious torrential downpour. It is funny how our bodies adapt to the climate we are living in. If I was in Colorado, a rainy 65-70 degrees would be refreshing, but here it is COLD! So even though I’m sure many of you picture me lounging on the beach everyday, surfing at sunset, etc… I can assure you that other than my daily trek to work, I am couped up in my house wanting the same thing you want- comfort food and soup. Luckily I had an awesome recipe saved from a while back- Cheddar Ale Soup from Tracy’s Culinary Adventures.
Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich on Garlic Bread
Sometimes my wandering mind actually provides me with great ideas. The other day I was thinking about sandwiches and had an epiphony; garlic bread as the base of the sandwich. Boom. Why didn’t I think of this earlier? What is not to love about adding the deliciousness of garlic bread to a sandwich. I think I should get my food truck up and running asap before my genius ideas get stolen! đ
Featured Foodie Friday: Bohemian Kitchen
Today I have some food for thought for you. As a foodie, what matters most to you? Is it health and nutrition; exotic, widespread cuisines; taste; or simply something else? It amazes me how big food has gotten over the last 100 years. We have always eaten, but suddenly food has become this celebrity that has won the hearts of us all. What is it about food that does this? Yes, we all love food that tastes good, but there is something else. For me, my life revolves around food. My job, hobbies, actions, thoughts, aspirations, dreams, you name it. I want to learn about all the cuisines of the world; all the plating techniques used in fine dining; etc.
As for the cause of this epidemic? I think it is because good food has the ability to create a widespread happiness and feeling of togetherness amongst us. You know they say a way to a mans heart is through his belly. I think this is true for everyone.  Why do you cook? I cook because of the way food makes me feel; I want to be able to share this with others. On that note, I think our guest blogger today is a great addition to my rant because she has created a unique cupcake that shows how far food has come. Please welcome Claudie from Bohemian Kitchen.
