So, let’s talk cheese.

Everyone likes cheese, right? Ok, I guess not everyone.

But in my whole life I’ve only come across three people who don’t like cheese. And each of them has a caveat as to when they will eat it.

DSC_1910(small)

The first only eats “raw” cheese, meaning unmelted.

The second only enjoys it with something else, such as in a sandwich or casserole.

The third, and perhaps strangest yet, will only touch mozzarella, and only if it’s melted on top of pizza. She doesn’t even like the pizza itself per se, just the melted cheese/sauce mixture on top. The sad sauce-stained crust is always left abandoned and unwanted on her plate (that’s what my mom always refers to as “stripped” pizza).

Not me though; I have yet to come across a cheese I didn’t like.

Red Pepper Smoked Gouda Soup Recipe with Description

Roasted Red Pepper Smoked Gouda Soup Recipe

This rich and velvety-textured soup features two flavor-packed cheeses, smoked Gouda and sharp Cheddar. And it has few other flavors to enhance the flavor of the cheese, like Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, and smoked paprika.

Don’t skip the touch of lemon in this recipe! Similar to fondue, a touch of acid in the form of lemon juice in this recipe (which is usually in the form of wine or beer in fondue), helps prevent the cheese from becoming stringy and from curdling.

Pro Tip: For this recipe, instead of 2 tablespoons lemon juice, you can deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup dry white wine if desired.

You might not realize it by looking at the end result, but this soup has a decent amount of vegetables in it as well. Onion, celery, carrot, and roasted red pepper add flavor and nutrition.

    Just made this soup today.

    I was looking for something unique and delicious.
    This one hits the mark!
    So cheesy, smoky and sooooooo good!

    I’m entering this bad boy into a soup contest in a few weeks.

    Thank you so much for this recipe 💕

    Well, I do not fall in any of the three categories above my friend. I am a huge cheese lover and I enjoy them cooked or raw. Of course I have my preferences, likes and dislikes but generally speaking I love cheese. This soup especially with the smoked paprika is something I would love to try!

    Count me as a cheese lover. And, Faith in reading your recipe, you’ve reminded me to get out the Worcestershire sauce. A touch of that can do so much. Your soup is very appetizing.

    One of my sisters isn’t fond of cheese at all. I never understood it, even as a kid. Me, I love it and I’d eat this soup year round. Love the smoked gouda and cheddar together here. :)

    Cheese is one of the only reasons I couldn’t become a vegan ;). I don’t eat a lot of it, but I sure do like it!! This sounds delicious.

I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do list! Do you remember my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats? Until today, the last time I posted there was February 2020! I even had content ready, recipes developed and photographed, and I have absolutely no excuse for myself lol. 😱🙈😅

More than just wanting to get back into posting regularly there, I wanted to give that space a fresh new look! I'm pretty thrilled that today it's done (with just a couple very minor decorative tweaks I still want to make). 💗

Not only does Healthy Sweet Eats have a fresh new face, but today I shared my recipe for #sugarfree Berry Sorbet 🍓🫐🍒, which uses frozen berries and comes together in just 5 minutes for the most delicious dose of antioxidants I've ever had.

Take a peek at the redesign and let me know what you think! 😘 Find this recipe on my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats (the direct link is in my link tree in my profile) --> https://www.healthysweeteats.com/sugar-free-berry-sorbet-recipe/

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.
