Languedoc Wines and D’Artagnan provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own.

Smoky Sausage, Leek, and Parmesan Cassoulet is a rich and hearty comfort-food stew.

The thing we all know about slow food is that it’s very aptly named. Yes, it will take the better part of a day (or even a couple days, in some instances) to yield the final edible result.

Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks {Gluten-Free}

This gluten-free Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks is rich and velvety and full of fiber and protein! We all know sometimes less is more in life, and I think this can be particularly true when it comes to food. Think about a perfectly ripe summer tomato; the only thing it needs is maybe a sprinkle of salt to be mind-blowing.

Roasted Corn Chowder

Like many other veggies, when corn is roasted, its naturally sweet, nutty flavor is brought out. The beauty of oven-roasting canned corn is that you don’t need to wait for outdoor grilling weather and corn to be in season to enjoy this delicious dish. This chowder was served as a first-course as part of my Mother’s Day Menu. The lovely flavor of roasted corn is highlighted in this easy dish that takes less than half an hour to make. I’m sending this recipe off to Chaya of Sweet and Savory for My Meatless Mondays. Be sure to check it out for some excellent vegetarian inspiration! Roasted Corn Chowder […]...
