Can you tell we like soup in the Kennedy house? And folks, this Italian Sausage and Tomato soup is a crowd-pleaser.
It’s full of flavor, easy to throw together, and makes enough to feed all the guests at your football and holiday parties! I know this from experience (wink, wink).
One of our favorite standby meals around here is tacos. I mean, it doesn’t get any easier, or tastier, than seasoned meat, tortillas, and toppings! So turn tacos into soup and we’re totally on board and our bellies are in love. I’ve been making this Spicy Taco Soup recipe for years, and it continues to be a favorite. It’s easy, quick, filling and delicious. Does a recipe get any better than that!?
I’m bracing myself to be shunned by nearly all of humanity when I admit this, so here goes nothing… I’m not a fan of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. *runs and ducks for cover*
I love pumpkin spice and pumpkin flavored things: pumpkin pies, pumpkins cakes, pumpkin muffins and cupcakes and all number of other pumpkin-flavored baked goods. I like to enjoy my pumpkin baked goods with a nice warm cup-o-joe. I just don’t like all the pumpkin flavor dumped into my nice warm cup-o-joe.
But pumpkin spice plus a couple of scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream? Ooooooh yeah, now we’re talking!
I love to host parties.
Well, okay. Let me rephrase that. What I really love is the idea of hosting parties. Because by the day-of, my to-do list is a mile long and things are nuts. From cleaning to decorating to prepping food, it always seems like I am “down to the doorbell” getting everything together. And it stresses me out like no other.
So when I was preparing for my big 30th birthday bash last month, I tried to help myself out and get as much as possible done as far in advance as possible. All the decorations were up days in advance and the house was 90% clean the day-of, so all I really had to concentrate on was food prep.
And I found a fantastic solution to help make sure 1.) everything made it to the table, and 2.) I wasn’t scrambling around last-minute trying to find a bowl for this and a plate for that.
A Roaring Twenties party certainly isn’t complete with signature cocktails! So I did a bit of research for authentic Roaring Twenties cocktail recipes to serve to my guests. Gin and champagne were the alcohols of choice—and good ones if you ask me—so clearly these two needed to make an appearance.
