Potato Soup

****I have decided to move my Donna Hay posts here from My Sweet and Savory since I have put it to sleep.  I love my Donna recipes and want to share them with you.  There will be several new posts brought over and I do hope you make some of them.  Donna produces good recipes.***

I played with this photo.

(As you probably note, this was my first time participating in WWDH, Wednesdays With Donna Hay.)

I know that I overdose on potato soup(s).  Hand me a potato soup recipe and you will find me, in the kitchen, peeling potatoes.  Thus, I ask for your forgiveness, posting one potato soup recipe after another.

 I was looking through the blogs of some fantastic cooks and noted, they all had made the same Donna Hay recipe for potato soup.  Reading more closely, I found a new group, cooking the same recipe, each week.  I have never  cooked a Donna Hay dish but I have been on her mailing list and know she shares some good recipes.

 With my Sherlock Holmes hat on, I did some more sneaking and peeking and found that the recipes that have been cooked, in the last six weeks are yummy and most of them would be choices, of my own.  I am going to jump right in and do some cooking from the world of Donna.

 The potato soup recipe was chosen by Kayte of Grandma's Kitchen.  You must visit her blog.  Kayte belongs to a number of cooking and baking groups and she appears to be one of the faithful followers of each group.  I enjoy, going backwards, on her blog, checking wand pesto can be found here on Donna's site.

This soup was simple to make.  The ingredients were few and easy to get.  I did add carrots to the recipe because my husband likes them.  Otherwise, I stayed close to the recipe other than not making the pesto.  I would have loved to make it but we were out of town and as it was, I left the soup, half made and finished making it, tonight.  No time for pesto.......  


Usually, I use cheddar with a cheesy soup and was happy to find the Parmesan added its own flavor which matched beautifully with the potatoes.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
