Posted on October 11, 2010 by Molly Newman

This definitely doesn’t count as health food; on the other hand, you can set these out at a gathering and pretty much guarantee they’ll be gone in just a few minutes, thereby sparing you the agony of continuing unhealthy temptation. So… why the heck not? Immerse yourself, however briefly, in the world of stunt bacon cooking. Continue reading →

Posted on June 6, 2010 by Molly Newman

So I've heard, here and there, that global warming is actually likely to manifest itself as "global weirding." And yeah, I do know the difference between "weather" and "climate," but good heavens we're having an annoyingly weird spring. It's rained … Continue reading →

Posted on May 6, 2010 by Molly Newman

…and also about the split peas, which also didn't make it into this rendition of Veganomicon 's Double Pea Soup with Roasted Red Peppers. Red lentils took their place, also bacon. Never having eaten the original, I can't say whether … Continue reading →

Beef Stew with Cider and Bacon

Posted on May 3, 2010 by Molly Newman

It was blustery, grey and damp. The cold was settling in my bones; the sky was nothing but clouds from horizon to horizon. "Screw seasonality," I thought. "What we need here is a nice hearty warming beef stew." This one … Continue reading →

Apple-Bacon-Leek Salmagundi

Posted on May 1, 2010 by Molly Newman

Hodge-podge. Witches' brew. Miscellany. Whatever. Anyway, the sweetness of the apples, leeks and maple-smoked bacon performs a lovely balancing act here with the earthiness of the beans and tomatoes. Sherry, in its justly famed role as a matchmaker and ground-smoother, … Continue reading →

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Molly Newman

86. Baked Potato-Bacon Soup, Redux, Spring-Style

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Molly Newman

Remember the Bacon-Baked Potato Soup over which everyone wet his/her pants? No? Here's a link to reference. Anyway, here is a lighter, springier, vegetable-ier version of it. According to my family, it's equally devourable. And there are tons of delish … Continue reading →

68. Fingers afire! Maple Sweet Potato Bisque with Optional Bacon

Posted on March 18, 2010 by Molly Newman

This is a lovely, gorgeously orange soup (which makes me feel a little bad about having made it on St. Patrick's Day), but it does need a warning: The puree gets very hot and remarkably napalm-like both in consistency and … Continue reading →

57. Smoky, chunky Black Bean-Salsa Verde Soup (plus delicious Corn Cakes!)

Posted on March 7, 2010 by Molly Newman

For someone who likes peace and quiet as much as I do, I sure am bad at being home all by myself. The boys stayed overnight at their friends' house last night, which meant the house was empty. Very empty. … Continue reading →
