It’s time for another recipe from Travelin’ Local!
Bothell, Washington has a cafe on Main Street, Alexa’s, that serves up the most amazing tomato basil soup. I’ve never asked the recipe – I don’t want to know. I’m sure it’s loaded with calories; thus the savory, Parmesan cheesy bite after bite of my favorite soup.

Montel's HealthMaster
I admit it. I got sucked in by an infomercial! It’s true. Right before Christmas I watched an infomercial for Montel’s HealthMaster. Normally I would be ashamed of myself for making such an impulsive, expensive purchase, but not this time. What an awesome kitchen gadget!
If you aren’t familiar with the HealthMaster, it’s a gigantic, [...]

Creamy Clam Chowder with Sweet Potato and Leeks
My husband loves clams, and since he was so kind as to put up the Christmas lights (a chore he hates, by the way), I decided to make him a clam stew. This meant that I was off on the recipe hunt again, since I have no idea [...]
