The Weekend Chef

I cooked all weekend and was surprised that I got a string of winning recipes. All of them were keepers.

From great pumpkin soup to serve as an opening to a Thanksgiving meal to Champagne Floats, Baked Beans with pickle juice and a delicious Pear and Prosciutto Pizza that was so easy to make I created this masterpiece in under 30 minutes.

What I don’t have is a new recipe for creamed spinach - I like mine fresh but my neighbor always finds a new way to present it - or chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting.

I buy mine at FoodStuffs because I haven’t found a recipe that is any better… but I try.

And a footnote on the great taste of butter.

Bon Appetit!
