Asparagus Soup #SundaySupper
This Asparagus Soup recipe is so easy and makes a great recipe for a creamy yet light lunch or dinner. You will be craving this soup all season long!
When my husband and I got married we went to Riviera Maya for our honeymoon. Where we stayed at had the best Asparagus Soup. I would order it every night for a late night snack…and I’ll admit that I would order a steak with it too. Hey, we were on vacation! So when this weeks Sunday Supper theme came out, Easy Spring Recipes, I knew I had to finally try and recreate this soup recipe with one of my favorite Spring vegetables.
One thing that is plentiful throughout the Spring & Summer in Michigan is asparagus. I actually grew up next to a field of it when I was a kid and you can find it at roadside stands for cheap! A great tip is to buy it in bulk and freeze it so when it goes up to almost $5/pound in the Winter I don’t have to worry about it when I have a craving.
Thinking about this got me interested in knowing when fruits and vegetables are at their peak growing season in Michigan. I found this great resource from PickYourOwn.org with all the fruits and vegetables and when the crop will become available. Check it out to see what goodies are coming soon to a farm near you.
How to make Asparagus Soup recipe:
Chop off those pesky hard ends on the asparagus and throw them out. Then chop the rest in equal pieces.
Heat up some oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium/high heat. Add the asparagus and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Sautee for 3-4 minutes then sprinkle 1 Tbs of flour over the top, stir to coat all the vegetables evenly with the flour.
Add chicken stock then set to a low/medium simmer and let cook uncovered for 25 minutes.
Making this soup ‘creamy’ is a two-step process. For the first part of adding creaminess, take a small bowl add 1/4 cup milk, remaining flour and cornstarch. Stir to combine then add to the soup mixture. Add to the stove over medium heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Next, use a little tool called an ‘immersion blender’. This is actually something my Mother-In-Law gave me and I don’t use it too often but always glad I have it as part of my kitchen. If you do not have one I would suggest taking most of the soup mixture and putting into a blender.
Finally the last part of making this soup ‘Wow’ is adding the thyme, nutmeg and Parmesan and the last 1/4 cup of whole milk.
Top this creamy soup off with some homemade croutons.
And here you are…..

Sugar Cookie and Apple Cobbler
Been apple picking yet this season? Have you been looking for a super Easy Apple Dessert to make with all the apples you’ve got hanging around? This Sugar Cookie and Apple Cobbler has a warm apple filling and a crunchy cookie crust and uses less than 7 ingredients!
A few months ago my step-mother stopped over with a HUGE shoebox full of recipe cards and books that she had. After going through all the wonderful recipes I landed on one that would be perfect for fall! It was in a Pillsbury/The Pampered Chef small cookbook called, Turning Out the Best Recipe Book.
The basics of this recipe require sugar, some spices, a tube of cookie dough and apples. That’s it. I only had to hit the grocery store for the sugar cookie dough. If you have a really good recipe to make your own dough you probably don’t even need to do that.
Since this apple dessert recipe bakes up nicely in a dish and can travel well it’s the perfect dish to bring to holiday parties or tailgates.
How to make Sugar Cookie and Apple Cobbler:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces then add the apples to a bowl.
To the apples add lemon juice, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, and flour. Stir to combine.
Add the apples to a greased 9×13 dish.
Next, open the cookie dough and cut into about 18 slices. Place the slices over the top of the apple filling.
In a bowl mix, the sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle over the top.
Put into the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. Serve warm.
Tips & Variations for this Sugar Cookie and Apple Cobbler:
- Don’t like apples with skin on them? I love cooking my apples with the skin on them but I know not everyone does so feel free to take the skin off before cooking with them.
- I used Gala apples but you can use any red apple variety.
- If you have apple pie spice on hand go ahead and substitute the cinnamon and nutmeg in the apples with 1/2 tsp.
And here you are……

Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese
A creamy homemade cheese sauce coats noodles and makes the perfect bed for pulled pork. Drizzle this Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese with BBQ sauce then top with spicy jalapenos and pickled red onions.
Welcome to the first Mitten Movie Night of Spring! We are ready to settle in and start enjoying the warmer weather. Today I am sharing a recipe that is inspired by a wonderful meal that we had while on our Spring Break trip to Florida, pulled pork mac and cheese.
A little more on the backstory of where this recipe originated from. This year was the first year that we actually ventured out of Michigan for Spring Break. The Winter has been long and we were all in need of some serious Sunshine. So we headed down to a place that I grew up going to as a kid – Venice, Florida. Right on the Gulf of Mexico we couldn’t have asked for a better place to get away from it all….well expect for the traffic with everyone else having the same idea…but I digress and do not want to complain because this was easily one of my favorite vacations we’ve ever had. I mean look at this picture of the boys heading down to the beach. A picture truly is worth a thousand words.
While we were in Florida we visited my friend and her family who hosted us for Easter. Visited the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to see Winter & Hope. Then enjoyed lots of time at the pool, the beach and eating really good food. On the suggestion of one of the residents at the condo we headed over to Darrell’s BBQ. It was a treat because anyone with kids and driving 24 hours to get to a location knows it means lots of fast food and we were ready for a sit down meal. The husband had the pulled pork platter, Big A had a burger and Little A and I shared a big bowl of pulled pork mac and cheese with piles of pork and sweet BBQ sauce. It was so good and one that I kept note of so I could make it as soon as we got home.
What beer pairs well with Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese?
The beer: Hopsoulution Double IPA from Bell’s.
Even though most of this post talks about Florida, I am a Michigan girl and happy to be home because we do have some of the best craft beer in the country. Wouldn’t you know we came back just in time for the release of Hopsoulution Double IPA.
How to make Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese:
Let’s start with the pulled pork. For this pulled pork mac and cheese recipe, I made the pork in the slow cooker. You can easily smoke the meat if you like but I ran short on time and really didn’t feel like pulling out the smoker so the slow cooker worked just as good.
Mix the beef broth and seasonings in the bottom of the crock pot and add the pork. Set for 6-8 hours on low and the pork is ready to be taken out and pulled.
About 20 minutes before the pork is ready to come out start the macaroni and cheese. Boil the pasta according to package directions. Once it is done remove from the pan, drain and set aside in another bowl.
To the pot you cooked the pasta add the butter and over medium heat melt the butter. Once it has melted stir the flour into the butter until it is slightly smooth (you may see some lumps) then add the milk. Stir until combines and you have a nice sauce appearance.
Now add the nutmeg, pepper, garlic powder then finally add the 3 different cheeses. Make sure you stir the whole time. See how awesome this sauce comes out. The ‘pull’ of the cheese. Thick enough to coat all the noodles. Another word for it is ‘cheesetastic’.
Add the noodles to the pot and stir to get all the sauce all over the noodles. Now set out a plate and add the mac and cheese.
Heap some pulled pork on there. Drizzle with BBQ sauce (I recommend my Best BBQ Sauce). Finish off this pulled pork mac and cheese with pickled red onions and jalapenos.
And here you are….

Cheesy Cauliflower #SundaySupper
Looking for a simple side dish that your kids will love? Have a picky eater that thinks veggies are evil? Try my Cheesy Cauliflower that is a proven winner with my kids and I’m sure yours will love this side dish too.
My two boys couldn’t be more different nutrition wise. If you set a bowl of fruit and a cookie in from of my 10-year-old he would always choose the fruit. He likes to generally eat healthily and only complains when I serve green beans or Brussels sprouts.
My 3-year-old, on the other hand, could sniff out a sugar-laden treat from 10 miles away. Most days it’s a struggle to get a banana down him for breakfast unless I make my Swedish Pancakes with Brown Sugar Bananas, but even then it’s a struggle. So I make small concessions and try my very best to make good things as appealing as possible. And this Cheesy Cauliflower is a hit with both my boys.
How to make Cheesy Cauliflower:
Start by chopping the core off the cauliflower and chop into similar sizes.
Add to a pot of water and set to boil for 15 minutes.
Remove the cooked cauliflower from the pot and drain the water. To that pot add the butter and cook over medium heat to melt.
Once melted whisk the flour 1 Tablespoon at a time and stir to combine. Now add the milk and continue to whisk until it starts thickening.
Now it’s time to add the spices.
Four simple ingredients: salt, pepper, garlic powder then Parmesan. I love the powder kind and use it constantly.
Now the fifth spice is really what makes this dish a stand out~nutmeg. A few years back I was watching The Rachel Ray Show and she recommended adding nutmeg to cheese sauces. Ever since then that is what I’ve done. Who am I to question Rachel Ray!
Once you’ve added the spices and Parmesan whisk to combine then add 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese and stir until melted and combined completely.
Add the cauliflower back into the pot and stir the sauce and cauliflower so that it covers every piece.
Put the cauliflower into a greased oven proof bowl then sprinkle with the reminding 1/4 cup cheddar cheese.
Put into a 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes.
And here you are……

Caramel Bottom Eggnog Cheesecake #SundaySupper
This No-bake Caramel Bottom Eggnog Cheesecake is a holiday dessert that has something for everyone-eggnog, caramel, candied nuts, and gingersnaps. Wow your guests with this unique holiday dessert.
I feel like the holiday can finally get underway. I’ve strung the lights up outside, put up the tree, hit the Amazon Cyber Monday deals. We are way ahead of schedule this year and only have a few presents left to get so that means in not too long I have to do one task that I don’t particularly like about Christmas-wrapping presents. I’ll be honest, I suck at it!
However one tradition that I have kind of makes it easy to get through, I enjoy a big glass of eggnog while doing it. That creamy concoction mixed with a little spiced rum….yummy! Makes the fact that I cannot make even a shirt box look presentable a little less stinging. But I’ve never had ‘nog any other way….so I decided to try something different.
In order to let everyone this holiday season enjoy eggnog, I decided to use it in a method that is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to cook ~ no-bake cheesecake. A no-bake cheesecake can be changed up to suit the needs of any occasion. Easy, fast, versatile and more importantly~delicious!
- Have a picnic? Make my Chocolate Bottom Strawberry Cheesecake.
- Need a quick dessert for a football cookout? Whip up a Butterscotch Bottom Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake.
This Caramel Bottom Eggnog Cheesecake with Ginger Snap Crust is a winner for the holidays. And did you see that I said ‘easy’? Check out the video showing how quickly it comes together.
Dessert is made. So now you can get back to wrapping all those presents. I hope you are better at it than I am!
And here you are……
From our home in the Bottom Left of the Mitten to yours ~ Happy Holidays!

Swedish Pancakes with Brown Sugar Bananas #SundaySupper
Tangy, thin Swedish Pancakes are cooked up and piled high ready for the breakfast table. Make a delicious mixture of brown sugar bananas to put in the center of the pancakes then roll them up for a sweet way to start the day.
I’ve mentioned before, my Dad is a great cook. I remember the first time he let me make Swedish Pancakes during the holidays. Boy, was I important! I got to mix the batter. Grease the pan. Learned how to move the pan just right to make sure the pancake is thin and crispy.
While the recipe may have changed over time making these reminds me of how proud I was making these pancakes for the first time. Now I might have to pass this recipe for Swedish Pancakes with Brown Sugar Bananas to my Dad!
How to make Swedish Pancakes:
Mix all the pancake ingredients in a bowl. It’s important to keep the bowl next to the stove with a ladle. With a mid-sized skillet add a small dab of oil to the pan. You can see my setup here. Also, make sure that you have a plate to add your pancakes too. They cook quickly!
From there you will add a ladle full of batter then spin the pan in a rotating fashion to thin it out. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook around 30 seconds for the second side.
I posted a video on my Instagram a while ago on how to move the pan.
How to make Brown Sugar Bananas:
Next is the sauce, which is so easy! Chop the bananas. Add butter to a pan and start to melt. Add brown sugar, then bananas. Let cook for around another minute then add the water cinnamon and nutmeg. Take off heat, you’re done.
How to Roll Swedish Pancakes:
What I want to point out is the ‘roll’. But I digress. I have a helpful little photo tutorial below for the ‘roll’. Fill the center of the pancake, hook fork into the side and ‘roll’.
You know my husband doesn’t roll his Swedish Pancaked **gasp**!?!? Finish off with more sauce on top. Do you see this deliciousness??
And here you are…..
From our home in the Bottom Left of the Mitten to yours ~ Enjoy!
Tips:
- Don’t like bananas? The sauce works well with many other fruits like peaches and plums.
- No buttermilk on hand? Using soured milk works just as well. To sour milk take 1 cup of regular milk then add 1 Tbs vinegar or apple cider vinegar and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Chunky Applesauce Cheesecake
I can’t wait to share with you one of my favorite fall desserts, Chunky Applesauce Cheesecake. Creamy cheesecake and a graham cracker crust filled with a beautiful chunky applesauce filling.
Ah, fall! You are finally here! We are cooling down this week after an extended heat wave and I am so happy. The heat, humidity, and mosquitoes have been bad here in Southwest Michigan so I am ready to start seeing the leaves fall, breathe in the cool crisp air and enjoy all that this beautiful state has to offer for the season.
I call this ‘chunky applesauce’ because this is the applesauce recipe that I make for my family. If I have a few apples lying around I will whip this up as a side for dinner. And since I honestly cannot resist a cheesecake this is a chunky applesauce cheesecake combines two of my favorite things.

If you wanted to just make the applesauce as I do, you would just use this step alone. I’m sure your family will love it, it’s perfect with a pork roast and mashed potatoes.
Set up a cutting board next to a pot and cube your apples. Put them into the pot and add salt, vanilla, butter, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple juice. Stir to combine and bring to a boil cooking for around 10 minutes.
Take off the heat and set aside to cool if you are using for the cheesecake. If not, serve immediately.
How to make the Chunky Applesauce Cheesecake:
For the crust crush graham crackers and mix with butter and sugar. Pat down into the bottom of a greased springform pan.
In a mixing bowl combine the cheesecake ingredients: cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar, and cool whip.
Mix with electric mixer until all combined.
Once the applesauce has cooled down a bit add to the top of the graham cracker crust on top of that add the cheesecake mixture.
Let the cheesecake refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
And here you are….
