Lemon Poppyseed Muffin Bread

It's been raining for the past week and it even hailed this morning. I made this lemon poppyseed bread to welcome back the sun and whattya know, the sun just came out right now!


This is the lemon poppyseed muffin recipe from The Chicago Diner cookbook. It's less hassle for me to just throw the batter into a loaf tin. This beautiful bread is a result.


So good with a spread of margarine and blueberry jam.

French Onion Soup

Warm and comforting, soup will make you warm and fuzzy on a cold fall night. That's what I wanted so I made The Chicago Diner's French Onion soup. It has some nice flavors of oregano, red miso and tamari. I added some red wine and nutritional yeast for even more flavor. Very nice. I've got a big pot of it with lots of leftovers. I've had three bowls of it already and I don't know if I'll be up for soup tomorrow. I wonder what I can do with the leftovers. Maybe make a red wine onion gravy out of it? We'll see.


With a floating piece of garlic bread on top.
