Winter's Champion Comfort Food: Soup

Summer is over, and we’ll be spending more time indoors, notably the kitchen, usually the warmest room in the house. It’s where you’ll find me making Winter’s champion comfort food: soup.

Not only delicious, comforting and nutritious, home-made soup is a very economical solution for mealtime.

Save your veggie prep trimmings ( onion, green beans, carrots, celery – even asparagus) in the freezer, and then make vegetable broth – a staple ingredient for many recipes, better and cheaper than anything out of a can!

The Great Pumpkin!

Well, if you think a pumpkin is just something to eat or carve for Halloween think again. We’ve scared up some fun facts on this Halloween favourite!

  • The first Jack O’ Lanterns were made from turnips.
  • The largest pumpkin ever measured was grown by Ron Wallace, from Greene, Rhode Island. His 2009 pound pumpkin broke the world record at the Topsfield Fair in Topsfield, MA on September 28, 2012.
