Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

January 15, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

One of my favorite party pieces when I was young and just starting to entertain was a tortilla soup, with a recipe from a Junior League cookbook.

Sometimes, in the bleak days of winter, when the holidays are over and real life comes crashing back in, it is nice to have a moment of simple comfort.

Eggnog Sheet Cake

I recently extolled the virtues of sheet cake with my Thanksgiving post on Sweet Potato Sheet Cake with Caramel Icing. Now I want to move into the holidays with this decadent eggnog version. It still feeds a crowd, looks lovely, can be made ahead and easily transported. And it is absolutely brimming with seasonal cheer. I made this twice last year and got many requests for … [Read more...] about Eggnog Sheet Cake

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
