South African-Inspired Butternut Soup
Was looking for something warming for a dinner with my best friend and Gluwein and came across this recipe. Time did not permit that I cook so my fiance did it two days before, let it cook for a day or so on low, and wow, what a winner. Did not have the Gluwein though, but next time we will and I'm sure it will be the best. Great with olive bread toasted under the oven grill.
Tuna Melt Casserole
This tuna melt casserole is an updated spin on tuna noodle, a baked version of the classic hot sandwich. If you like it spicy, use jalapeños instead of the capers.
Strawberry Blintzes
My mom makes these strawberry blintzes every year. They are my favorite breakfast by far! I usually double the filling recipe.
