🍝 🍄‍🟫 🍝

Creamy Beef Bolognese with Mushrooms is a savory, slow-simmered ragù with layers of flavor that develop over time. Unlike a typical spaghetti meat sauce, which is often brighter, redder, and more tomato-driven, this Bolognese lets meat and vegetables take center stage.

A generous amount of onion, carrot, celery, and cremini mushrooms slowly cooks down into the ragù, creating a deeper, more nuanced foundation and adding layers of savory flavor to the beef. The long, gentle simmer allows the ingredients to meld into a rich, satisfying sauce with subtle earthy notes from the mushrooms.

Equal parts milk and cream mellow the acidity and give the ragù a velvety texture that clings beautifully to spaghetti (or keto-friendly cauliflower, see recipe below).

A Lovely Soup for Springtime
Snap Pea, Broccoli, Cauliflower Soup

This blended soup combines snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, and milk into a smooth, delicate mixture with a naturally sweet, green flavor.

Snap peas add a pop of brightness and color, while cauliflower lends body and a soft, velvety texture without the need for heavy cream. Broccoli brings a hint of earthiness, and milk creates a silky backdrop that ties everything together. A splash of olive oil adds a final touch of richness, giving each spoonful a comforting, balanced feel. With its vibrant color and lively flavor, this soup is a perfect way to celebrate spring — light, fresh, and wonderfully satisfying.

Broccoli Cauliflower Soup with Dubliner Cheese

Broccoli Cauliflower Soup with Dubliner Cheese

Broccoli Cauliflower Soup with Dubliner Cheese

Dubliner is a robust aged cow’s milk cheese from West Cork, Ireland with a texture similar to a cheddar. It has nutty, sharp, sweet flavors that come from the milk of Irish grass-fed cows.

Here, the ubiquitous broccoli cheese soup is taken to another level – adding another vegetable profile – cauliflower, and creamy earthy white beans plus Irish cheese for a St. Paddy’s Day celebration!

The silky smooth texture is achieved by the action of a high-performance blender. It is that velvety texture that makes the soup so extraordinary. It could easily be served naked…

…but the blank green canvas begs for something jazzy. Queue up a range of garnishes such as micro greens, super-thin radish, chili oil, shredded cheese, and even a creamy shamrock! Erin go bragh.

These delightful soufflés are perfect for a springtime luncheon! 36 month-aged Gouda from the Netherlands adds nutty, butterscotch flavors and an interesting salt crystal crunchy texture. This flavorful cheese pairs well with a full-bodied complex Alsatian Pinot Gris.

The soufflés are super easy to prepare, and bake up to a puffed golden brown in 35 minutes. Served with a pretty side salad, they make a lovely light lunch…or easily double the recipe and serve them on a platter as part of a buffet because, as a bonus, the soufflés hardly deflate so they are excellent for entertaining.
