I had the great joy of having my Mom on the radio show again this past Wednesday and we reminisced about cooking and food and one of the dishes we spoke about was a simple Cauliflower, bacon and onion pasta dish that Nana and Mm had in their arsenal for a quick quick dinner prep. You know, for those days when you don't get home in time to make a more elaborate dinner or one that requires more time. We chatted about how easy it is to whip something up if you have a well-stocked pantry and fridge.
So put this one in your arsenal - you will not be disappointed!!

It was an absolute treat to have my Mom, Jo Murko join me as my guest on the show today. She was my very first guest last February 16, 2010. Click here and you can hear all about her great memories and food stories. But today, we decided to chat about being an intuitive cook, chicken soup, whipping up a meal from a well-stocked pantry and the keen link between food and memory. I, for one, will NOT forget this interview with my beautiful, kind loving Mom. Thank you Mommy, I love you!!
Today's show.

What I have learned from running the chicken soup recipe contest is that there are only winners when you cook from the heart!! It was such a thrilling and sobering experience receiving, making, eating and "judging" all the recipes. The making and eating was the easy part. And the judging was made somewhat easy as the "story" was part of the contest and some of the stories were just stand-outs along with their recipes.
Here are the links to the three "winning" recipes and stories:
Francine's Avgolemono, Carol's Asian-style and Judith Lerner's traditional. And check out what the news team at NewsChannel13 had to say.
I will be putting the other 14 recipes online over the next week or so. They are all truly delicious!!
And again. I learned that when you mix love, a treasured family recipe and good ingredients together, you always get a winner!!
THANK YOU ALL!

My heart opens with unconditional love for Burt. And I believe it is returned to me. He is my ever-present companion. And he can truly communicate with me. I know exactly when he wants to go outside for some spring water or to do his business. He knows when Jim is about to build a fire - he see Jim carrying the kindling and he darts into the living room to claim his spot in front of the fireplace. This photo was snapped in the kitchen while I was making chicken soup - he was just hanging with me!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my doggie!!
