Beer Cheese and Potato Soup
My perfect soup for a crowd! Make in advance and heat to serve a slew of guests. What makes this soup unforgettable at an event is a toppings bar. Feel free to get creative but I love serving with sliced scallions, potato chips and extra cheese.
Asturian Bean Stew (Fabada)
This is the Spanish answer to pork and beans. It’s a hearty meal that is sure to warm the soul in colder months. The game-changing ingredients are the semi-dried chorizo and morcilla plus the Spanish saffron which is richer in color and flavor.
Hungarian Goulash
Hungarian goulash is a soul warming dish that can be made with beef, pork, veal, or lamb. This version features a thick and chunky sauce that can be served with egg noodles, dumplings, or sourdough bread.
Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp
Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp is the dish you didn’t know you needed in your life. Take shrimps with their shells on, shallow fry until the shells are crispy, and then toss in a seductive and sweet garlic butter sauce. Move over Shrimp Scampi.
French Onion Gnocchi
When the weather drops from 90 to 80 degrees, that is enough cause for celebration in Florida. Kicking off this autumn season of casseroles with a knock-out dish combining French Onion Soup and Italian-Style Potato Gnocchi.
