Braising Season Has Arrived!

Braising Season Has Arrived!

If you know me, you know I love a good braise, especially one marinated in an entire bottle of Pinot Noir.  The recipe I found for Beef Daube (pronounced Dob) was ideal for a Sunday.

Ain't Nothin' Like a Good Breakfast Joint

Ain't Nothin' Like a Good Breakfast Joint

I’m a lunch & dinner kind of gal, and I’m not a real fan of breakfast foods. So, what the heck is it about the Saturday morning feast that changes the whole paradigm?

Arizona Wine Country Road Trip

Arizona Wine Country Road Trip

Although tamed down and classed up, we hit the road with all the same zeal of a college road trip. Arguably, there are few better places for road trippin’ than Arizona. This time, we pointed south to a small part of Arizona we had yet to explore but had heard a lot about, Sonoita and its wine country.

I'd been patrolling the local grocery store for something other than goldfish and apples or ice cream and oreos and stumbled across a childhood favorite:  Graham Crackers and Vanilla Frosting.

Heidi's Own: Ham & Cabbage Soup

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

It is a very busy week (we are on the road), so I am tossing this Soup on the board. It's appropriate because this is one of my stand buy meals when I have a hard day or just need a good hearty, Sunday night soup. My daughter and my husband both love it. I hope you enjoy it too - Heidi.

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups Chicken Stock
  • 6 Cups Water
  • 2 Ham Hocks
  • ½ Head Cabbage - Chopped
  • 2 Carrots - Rough Chop
  • ½ Onion - Rough Chop
  • 1 Ham Steak -  Medium Dice

Put stock and water in stock pot and add everything except ham steak.  Bring to a boil and then return to simmer.  Skim.  Add ham steak in last hour (I cook this for about 3 hours).

Serve with fresh biscuits, butter and honey.  It’s also nice to add a ½ teaspoon of your favorite vinegar to the soup. For some reason, simple white vinegar seems to work best. We also like lots of pepper.
