Spicy Sausage Soup with Chipotle Cream

This Spicy Sausage Soup with Chipotle Cream brings back fond memories of winning a trip to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida back in 2009 to compete in the Epicurious.com Tailgating Recipe Contest. I didn't end up winning (the contest), but what an amazing adventure competing in a national recipe cook off and getting to go to the Super Bowl thanks to my incredible network of family and friends who rustled up roughly 8,000 votes and $8,000 for hunger relief.

Salads

All the Fall Favorites Salad

Had been craving a favorite flavors of fall composed salad with extra dressing on the side and had fun creating this one to share. Sure love the way the brown sugar bacon bits work with the finely shredded smoked white cheddar, diced garlic baked chicken, toasted pecans and Honeycrisp apple matchsticks arranged atop chopped romaine hearts dressed in Creamy Apple Cider Vinaigrette. This would be a great potluck salad party to throw~ have friends pick a salad component to bring, then toss and assemble together. Enjoy!

Breakfast

Chewy Cherry Almond Granola Bars

These Chewy Cherry Almond Granola Bars are the BEST way to use up the granola crumbs at the bottom of your favorite bag of granola. Simmer up the simple brown sugar and honey syrup to pour over the granola crumbs, toasted almonds and dried cherries, and all that's left to do is stir, spoon into the granola bar molds and bake. The hardest part for me was waiting for them to cool and set before devouring one. The cherry almond aroma filling the kitchen was so tempting! Hope you love them as much as we do.
