This is a long-time favorite comfort food for our family. Sarah actually requested it today, and since her days living with us in North Carolina are numbered now, I’m trying to cook all her special requests. This is a recipe I grew up eating in my mom’s kitchen. For some reason, frozen broccoli tastes better …

Log: Cabbage Tomato Soup
This evening we dined on some homemade cabbage tomato soup, which was a riff off the “Cabbage Roll Soup” recipe from Dinner at the Zoo. It’s quite similar to the full recipe I wrote up in May 2022 before leaving Oklahoma City, for “Beef Cabbage Soup,” except this version leaves out the green peppers and …

This year we’re staying with some of those staples for dinner, but after church we had a delicious quiche recipe. “Ham & Pepper Quiche” (CC BY 2.0) by Wesley …

Roasted Shishito Peppers
Many thanks to my mom, Angie Fryer, for sharing this recipe with me! We had this a few months ago when we were in Manhattan for a visit. These are SO GOOD!
This is a modification of the “Roasted Shishito Peppers” recipe by Sonja Overhiser. The difference is instead of kosher salt, this recipe uses Traeger rub. (We’re reducing salt intake in our diet.)
