I'm done with providing weather updates. 🤣 I'm just going to provide you with soup updates from here on out!

THIS is maybe Mark's all-time favorite: a Small Batch Chicken and Vegetable Soup that is PACKED with flavor!

I use the usual suspects: potatoes, celery, carrot, onion, garlic, garlic, etc., but there's a couple of key ingredients that really set this one above the rest: chicken bone broth, white miso paste, and a splash of white wine.

All of this can be YOURS in just 30 minutes, but it really benefits from simmering for longer than that if time allows. You can also store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days, and reheat it over low heat on the stovetop.

It's almost 90 degrees here again today, so I'm thinking of grabbing some tacos from down the street tonight and making some of these Fresh Strawberry Margaritas to drink with them tonight.

This is the recipe I tested a few times over the summer, and I asked your opinion on whether or not you wanted a "fresher" strawberry flavor (as opposed to the flavor of a strawberry margarita from a typical Mexican restaurant), and the answer was an overwhelming yes.

This recipe uses fresh strawberries, which I toss with some sugar and rest for 15 minutes, so the sugar settles into the berries and enhances their juiciness and flavor. Then I muddle them and mix them with fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, tequila (reposado OR blanco will work), triple sec, agave syrup, and a little pinch of salt.

The beauty of cocktail recipes like this one is that you can alter it to make it for YOUR taste. I think the base recipe on my blog is a great starting point, but you can always add more strawberries / lime juice / triple sec / tequila (!!) / etc. to really make it your own, and to hopefully make it one of your new favorite cocktails, too. 🥰

It was 55 degrees when I went to the store this morning, so I'm hopping right on the soup train. (Or in this case, the white chicken chili train.)

@markallen4110 and I made this recipe quite a few times last winter >> https://aflavorjournal.com/small-batch-white-chicken-chili-for-two/ & it. is. DELICIOUS. This is another small batch version that makes about one quart of white chicken chili. If you don't eat it in one day, leftover chili is even better after the flavors have a chance to really blend together. 🤩

I use Hatch green chiles from New Mexico because we love them (you can find them in a 4 oz. can at most grocery stores), and I also use shredded chicken breast cooked with an easy homemade seasoning blend. Additionally, there are great white northern beans, onions, garlic, shredded cheese, and sour cream for a touch of creaminess.

I also love using the @betterthanbouillon roasted chicken base for the stock because there is SO much flavor, and it's perfect for this recipe.

The best thing about white chicken chili (or any chili, honestly), is that you can top it with whatever your heart desires. We love extra cheese, green onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and crushed tortilla chips. The lime wedges look cool in the photo, but I'd rather just squeeze a wedge or two right on top of the chili before serving. 💁‍♀

Don't miss this recipe. It's a great way to cozy up on these fall nights, and if you want to double the recipe so you can live on it for a few days, you should do it.

I’ve been absent from Instagram lately, but I promise you it’s for good reason!

[ original post edited because I decided that I didn’t like it, so here’s the new one] ::

Im heading to NYC in less than two weeks to photograph the incredible food at five new-to-me restaurants, and I’m BEYOND excited!! (I also have so much to do before I leave! 🤣)

My little business continues to grow year after year, and this is by far the most exciting project I get to tackle to date. I can’t wait to explore the city, meet new people, spend my days at these restaurants, and capture as many photos as possible!

I’ll be sure to share posts on here before I go, but until then, keep doing what you do and don’t ever give up. ❤️ you never know what lies ahead.

(photos in this post are from the restaurant shoot that led to this adventure!)
