Thai Shrimp and Noodle soup

January 18, 2017 by It's Cooking With Magda

Very aromatic and comforting soup that is great especially when fighting a cold or flu. Happy 2017! I took unplanned break from my blog but life just got in the way. I’m hoping to do better in the new year. We just got back from our second annual New Year’s trip to Yosemite National Park. It was awesome! The temperature was in the comfortable upper 30s most of the time and we were able to do some hiking. The weather […]

Ribollita, bread and vegetable soup

April 5, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

Fans of hearty soups, you are going to love this one! It’s a variety of vegetables cooked together and then baked with bread and lots of cheese. As you might have noticed by now I love Italian food! Just like millions of people. With so many pizza and pasta recipes out there, I wanted to find something more unusual to blog about. So, I got very excited when I came across this soup recipe in one of my Williams-Sonoma cookbooks. It […]

Try my currently most favorite soup. It’s hearty, easy to prepare and so good! January is National Soup Month. I didn’t know that until recently. I love soups. I think I mentioned it before.

Irish Beef Stew

October 21, 2015 by It's Cooking With Magda

Enjoy this stew on a lazy Sunday or to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!As I sit here on this quiet early Sunday afternoon, I look through my windows and enjoy the view. All of the trees on my street have put on their fall colors. The sky has so much going on, too. Plenty of clouds, a touch of light blue here and there and lots of gray. Is it going to rain? I wish, but I’m pretty certain it won’t. […]

Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Soup

August 27, 2015 by It's Cooking With Magda

Here is a great recipe to use some beautiful, flavorful, heirloom tomatoes that are at their best at this time of year.Summer is very slowly coming to an end, at least in terms of the school vacation (very quiet “yay”). In terms of the amount of fresh produce available at the Farmer’s Market, everything is still at full capacity. Peppers, zucchini, eggplants, mushrooms, tomatoes. Grapes, plums and some early varieties of apples. I remember how surprised I was a long time […]

My new favorite, Tortilla Soup. Spicy, chunky and full of flavor hits the spot every time. Recently, while at my library, I came across a cookbook called “Thug Kitchen, eat like you give a f*ck”. Have you guys heard of it? It is such a hilarious read. I can’t say I use too much profanity in my everyday life and the book is well, full of it. I read a part of it to my husband and we both had […]
