Hi everyone! After spending some considerable time updating and improving the site, I’m getting back to adding some new recipes. Since it’s now fall, and the weather is getting chilly, I’m craving more soups – either with a meal or as a meal all by itself. Here are the newest recipes just added:

• Turkey Albondigas Soup - A spicy meatball soup recipe that is made with ground turkey, rice, spices and vegetables.
• Squash Soup with Peppers and Lime - A spicy soup recipe that is made with frozen pureed squash, diced potatoes, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, chicken broth and spices.
• Spicy Pork and Rice Soup - A  spicy Mexican style soup recipe that is made with pork loin cubes, onion, garlic, serrano chiles, rice, chicken broth, lime juice, chopped tomato, salt and pepper.

It’s been quite some time since I last added new recipes to the site, and I apologize for that. However, in the last several days and/or weeks the site has grown by a few pages (recipes) and has acquired a new, more pleasant appearance. Maybe that is something you don’t give a hoot about but I do care. I care a lot…

You’ll find the six most recent recipes in a small list on the site. Now, get cooking and have fun!
