Low-Fat Recipes: Chicken Soup with Adzuki Beans, Escarole, and Sweet Potato
4.14 / 5 Stars | 18 Reviews
by BFHAWKINS
“This absolutely delicious soup was created to help use up the Adzuki beans, wild rice, and sweet potatoes in my pantry. I decided to use the sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and was delightfully surprised by the wonderful flavor blend it created with the sweetness of the onions, garlic, and Adzuki beans. I also wanted to try escarole in a soup, and the result was fantastic. Adzuki beans are found in any health food or specialty store, and in many national grocery chains. They have a great nutty, slightly sweet taste, and are especially tasty added to chicken soups of any kind.”
A “Modern Traditional” Seattle Kitchen — Kitchen Spotlight
In December of 2011 at about 3am, an electrical fire started in the top floor of Michele and Ryan’s beloved Seattle home. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the entire top floor of their home was destroyed, and the first floor badly damaged. Not ones to give in to misfortune, however, Michele and Ryan marched on, renovating and rewiring their entire home, which included new DIY exposed shelving in the kitchen!

What Are Some Ways to Use the Whole Chamomile Plant? — Good Questions
Q: I recently purchased some fresh chamomile from the farmers market. The flower buds are present and the greens and roots are also still attached. They smelled so amazing I couldn’t resist. I can only find recipes for making tea with the flowers. Any ideas for using the whole plant?

Food Lover’s Travel Tip: Bring Bags!
I’ll never forget the time I bought some food souvenirs on a trip to Seattle, immediately popped them into the plastic zip-top bags I had brought with me, and the merchant chuckled and said, “You must be a visiting food blogger.” How did he know? Do all food lovers and bloggers carry plastic bags when they travel? I’m not sure, but I certainly do.

There’s No Place Like Home — Weekend Meditation
The other day a friend and I took a quick, half-day road trip. We had a quest (Blenheim apricots), we had a destination (a slightly obscure orchard) and we had the possibility of lunch (tacos). Like all adventures, we encountered a few setbacks.
We got a little lost, we had to backtrack to an ATM (the orchard was cash only) and the taco stand, once a charming shack, had moved to a strip mall and now more closely resembled a food court. Still, it was a perfect morning spent in good company and the tacos (pastor, of course) were delicious despite the surrounding decor. Even more important, the effect of our journey continued into the week, bringing the scent of ripening apricots into my daily routine and reminding me that the adventures found close to home are just as pleasurable, just as significant, as something experienced half way around the world.
