Super Easy New England Clam Chowdah!

This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: CHOWDAH, aka New England clam chowder

This installment of our fall soup series is New England clam chowder. Warning: it's addictive!

As a mom and home cook, I prefer whole foods, not the store (though I've been known to drop the whole paycheck in Whole Foods), but what I mean is I prefer not to get my meals out of a can or freezer bag. But there must be exceptions to every rule, and this recipe is it. Not one fresh ingredient to be found! The only tools needed are a large double boiler, a can opener, and a large spoon to stir!

This is my MIL's recipe, and it's beyond quick and easy. You open cans, and you mix up everything in the pot you cook in, it literally gets no easier or quicker than this recipe, and it’s so much better than any can of clam chowder. The only change I made is adding our Twice Stolen Spice™ instead of oregano alone. It makes it so much better, and it was already really good.

Beef Mushroom Barley Soup

This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: Beef Mushroom Barley Soup

Soup! There it is... again! And again. Don't ever trust a person who doesn't love soup. I love soup any time of the year, but the fall season is soup season. Period. End of story.

Fuck pumpkin spice. Come fight me. I don't care. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I guess I'm not your average white girl. I don't like pumpkin spice everything, and I cook with spices! I mean, this bitch right here creates blends to make it easier for a lot of people who are scared to cook. It's not hard! I promise.

Cooking involves this skill set: telling time, measuring, and tasting. If you can do these three things, you can cook. Oh, make it 4 things, you need to be able to read since you'll probably need to follow recipes to start on your cooking journey. Don't be a wuss. No need to be scared.

Chili (w/Beef & Turkey)

This is Mama Miche, and today in the magic kitchen: Chili!

Fuck, yes! We are starting the Fall Soup series with a perennial favorite.

I love chili! Honestly, I have a history of overeating it because I love it so much. I really loved the way my Momster made it, but, like everything else she cooked, there was no written recipe. I do my best to replicate it and now provide a recipe complete with a list of ingredients and measurements. But you might like it spicier or not as spicy. Make adjustments. You might like it with lots of beans or no beans, your choice, friends.
