I have a confession to make. Even though I’m a real foodie to the core….I have a dirty secret. I love Shin Ramyun Hot n’ Spicy. This is no ordinary ramen noodle processed food product. It’s shameful deliciousness. It’s Korea’s favorite ramen, and mine too. In fact, the only ramen I would even eat. AndContinue reading “Spicy Noodle Soup”

Creamy Winter Squash Soup
We just got back from vacation. As usual, I am starving for nourishing foods when I got home. Vacation food is delicious, but not always nutritious! I looked around the kitchen and this is what I came up with. Apparently it was good because Test Subject Bill devoured it! 2 medium sized winter squashes, peeled andContinue reading “Creamy Winter Squash Soup”

Easter is a time of true celebration.

KKF Fast Food: Shrimp and Crab Bisque
I love soup. Any kind of soup. If I can eat it with a spoon, it must be good. One of my all-time favorites is lobster bisque, which I have not yet attempted at home.

Chicken Soup: In Hot Pursuit
One of my favorite dishes from my childhood was Mom’s chicken soup. The chicken was plump and flavorful. The noodles were thick. The veggies were always just right.

Spring for Asparagus
I’m starting to identify the seasons through fruits and vegetables. In late winter and early spring I’m all about the great greens that show up in my CSA box. As the season progresses more and more veggies start showing up – radishes, beets, etc. But the veggie I was really looking forward to this springContinue reading “Spring for Asparagus”
Bull Burger: Revenge!
Nothing could strike fear into the heart of a kid on the farm more than The Bull. The Bull was irritable, angered by even the sight of a kid on the pasture. Being chased down by The Bull would mean certain death, so you always had to be on your guard. My brother told meContinue reading “Bull Burger: Revenge!”
