One of my favorite recipes from Simply in Season, this recipe is an excellent example of a stew. Don’t let the long list of spices turn you off – it goes together rather quickly.

We are gradually getting over our colds here at the Hammond household, but soup is still the food of choice. Since I had potatoes from last week’s CSA pickup I went looking for a soup that incorporated them. It was a bonus that this recipe happened to incorporate another of my favorite foods–mushrooms!

If it’s possible to love an appliance, then I’m smitten with my pressure cooker. Forgot to put something in the slow cooker in the morning, and it’s almost time for dinner? No problem with a pressure cooker!

As you know, I’m not a big fan of “transforming” leftovers into something else; however, some recipes are quick and easy when you have leftovers on hand. Collective Bias asked for submissions to its Family Meals Dummies Guide to Leftovers, and since I had some mashed potatoes in the refrigerator, I knew it was a great opportunity to make calcannon.

This recipe is adapted from The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution. As much as I don’t want it to be winter yet, I was able to use mostly produce from last week’s CSA pickup.

No, it’s not winter (even though it feels like autumn outside!) I was pleased that I could use many of my CSA vegetables for this stew.

OK, seriously? I have eaten more soup since starting this project than I think I ever have in my entire lifetime. Did you know there are 40 soups and stews in Simply in Season. I’ve made 32. That means I have 8 more to go. With the weather in the upper 90s (that’s 35 celcius for my Canadian readers) I am starting to doubt my resilience to finishing this project. But for now, I’m carrying on.

It’s funny, but all of a sudden we are getting spring vegetables and the weather is HOT. In Michigan sometimes it goes right from winter to summer. And here I am with a bunch of recipes from Simply in Season from winter and spring left, and are heating up my kitchen. Oh well, these potatoes were worth it!
