Who doesn’t love a simple butternut squash soup in the cold weather months? Its dense flesh and nutty flavor is a bit like sweet potatoes but with more of a butterscotch-like flavor. Warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg make it all the more nourishing and delicious. It’s a close call with my Roasted Carrot Apple […]
A Maine lobster stew is a much simpler preparation than its two cousins – lobster bisque and lobster chowder. And yet, it is just as delicious.
