well what a great idea, Leah.
I'm hosting my FIRST Thanksgiving Day dinner at our place so if I don't WOW the family-in-law crowd with the initial turkey “unvailing” on the big day, I'll certainly have them leaving the table wanting more of it with my (clearing throat…”your”, Sendik's, I'd like to thank the academy…) tortilla soup on Friday!
What a great compliment to “black Friday” madness, too!
this DAMrecipe is going to make me look goooood…
thank you,
ks

Thanks Eric, actually I was thinking that wasn't one of my better pictures…you must have been taken by the fried tortilla strips!!

That makes sense. I usually shop wearing last night's makeup and no one seems too eager to help me.

That picture is amazing… I was sold on the recipe before I read a single word!

This was very good Leah! We aren't big squash fans, but my mom had brought a few butternut squash from her garden a few weeks ago when she came to visit. This was a great way to use it and the flavors blended so well together.

I tried the Goat Cheese Marinara version this weekend – it was a total hit!! But I'll make it again if you want to have cocktails, Margaret!

Margaret, if you use raw chicken I would do the cornstarch step – leftover fully cooked, no. Just throw it in at the very end if it's fully cooked.

And Eric, the only reason I put on makeup and hairspray to go to Sendiks is that sometimes, a trip to the grocery store is my only opportunity for social interaction throughout the day. Better look like I at least made some sort of effort to look presentable.

Comment on The Best Peanut Butter Cookies You Will Ever Have…Period by LeahDamron

You could roll them up and instead of flattening them with a fork, just stick a Hershey's Kiss in them, ala Black Eyed Susans. Love those … maybe I'll host a cookie exchange just so I can try them that way!! That was like my most favorite cookie growing up.

A Dutch oven would be a very large soup pot. You're funny!!

This is really easy! We should have cocktails and each bring a different version!
