"This is my new take on Chicken Noodle Soup! I've added sweet potatoes and mushrooms to give it more pizzaz and much needed nutrients. It takes a little bit of time to make, but your palate will thank you in the end! You can also make a batch of whipped sweet potatoes and serve the soup atop that. I might try that on my next go-round. Yummy! Give it a shot and let me know what you think!"

Cooking is one of my outlets - I love to get in the kitchen and CREATE. I think it is my desire to see how effort can evolve into amazing results - oh and taste delicious! My mom is the reason that I fell in love with cooking and my family and friends continue to foster my habit by telling me what the think of my dishes. I once cooked a horrible pancetta dish that somehow looked like glue and I was mortified. Needless to say I threw the whole thing out and went out to dinner! I LOVE to review restaurants and post them on yelp.com. One of my dream jobs is to be a food, wine ad boutique resort critic...ahhhh...now that would be a pretty good life, huh?? My favorite restaurant is Rioja in Denver, CO. www.riojadenver.com
