That seems to be my mantra these days! I thought I would have so much time when I was off work, and it didn't seem to work out that way!! Then, I was only off a month before I got a new GREATER job...I couldn't believe in this market that I got a job so fast. I am both profoundly lucky and grateful!
I am going to combine two entries into one today, as they are both SO late it's embarassing!
The first one is the TWD Dimply Plum Cake, chosen by Michelle at Baken-En. I shared this with the ladies at Lola's daycare, and we all just LOVED it...the texture was great, although I did end up baking mine a bit longer, because it looked to "jiggly" in the middle...it turned out awesome! You can check out this recipe over at Michelle's blog!
Next up is my deliquent Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup from Barefoot Bloggers. This was SO GOOD. Last year for our first anniversary, Ugg and I went to this AWESOME restaurant in Traverse City called Stella's. We had the most incredible dinner there, and it included this AMAZING cream of mushroom soup. When we got back from our mini vacation from Traverse City, I made a couple attempts at a good soup....but none we very close. This one was! I wish I had found it last year!
It's so good that the week after I made it (I have been making my recipes on time, just not blogging them!) Ugg requested it again. High praise, indeed!
You can find this recipe here, and make sure to check out how everyone else did over at the Barefoot Bloggers site.
I hope to be back on track soon. Although, I missed the last two TWDs (and such good ones, too), I am ready for this Tuesday! Also, I do have to make up my Butternut Squash Risotto for Barefoot Bloggers..and I'm really looking forward to that one!
Stay tuned....and I promise to do my best to keep current!

Wonderful place Stella's in Traverse City, Michigan. Now I'll have to make a point to get the mushroom soup there. One of my favorite dishes there is the squash ravioli. I hope we had a little color in the leaves when you were here. This last weekend was perfect weather wise and the color is just hitting its peak. Should be unbelievable next week and the following. And there's wonderful produce at the farmers markets for foddies wanting to cook in, as well. If you can't get Up North again this season, I'd like to invite you to check out the online home of Traverse, Northern Michigan's Magazine on www.MyNorth.com and specifically, I think you'd be a great addition to the community there. Emily Betz Tyra, food editor has a blog there with this article on sweet tomatoes http://community.mynorth.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2345865%3ABlogPost%3A1444
I wonder if Emily could coax that mushroom soup recipe out of Stella's ... enjoyed your blog ...
