Bring to me my big old sweater

It has FINALLY turned chilly here in my neck of the woods. It seems like just last week the mercury was topping 100 degrees. Oh wait, it was just last week. May and October are so much fun in Southern California.

If your taste buds are like mine when the weather gets cold, they scream for soup or beans. I am working on a few new recipes in those areas and hope to have them up next week. In the meantime, here are a few recipes to help you out:

Soups:

• Cream of Vegetable Soup
• Meat and Cabbage Soup
• Posole
• Potato Soup
• Pumpkin Soup
• Sopa de Pollo Borracho (Drunken Chicken Soup)
• Tortilla Soup

Beans:

• Beans 101
• Chasen's Chili
• Ham Hocks and Black-Eyed Peas
• Red Beans and Rice - New Orleans Style

Until next time, happy eating.
