Spicy Red Bell Pepper Soup
I love this spicy soup recipe because it uses fresh, sweet red bell peppers, as opposed to roasted red peppers. It's full of other fresh vegetables and thyme, too, and it freezes exceptionally well. Rice is used as the thickening agent, rather than cream. If you don't like a lot of spice, reduce the amount of cayenne and red pepper flakes.

Rock Salt-Encrusted Prime Rib
Moist, juicy, and full of flavor, this rock salt prime rib is one you'll want to try. The thick, salty crust makes a really cool impression on your holiday table, and it comes off easily when it's time to slice and eat the meat. The only drawback I've found is that the drippings are way too salty for au jus or gravy, so make that separately from a store-bought mix. Serve with horseradish sauce.
