Trying Something New

A few weeks back I set a goal for myself to cook at least one new thing a week I had never done before. This doesn't mean it has to be something completely new or exotic every week. It just means it will be a new recipe or way of preparing a dish. For example one recipe I made was Apple Smothered Pork Chops. I have made pork chops a zillion times, but this was a new way of preparing them.

Once a week I will post the new recipe I made. However I am about 4 weeks behind so I will try to catch up.

Anyway, here is week 1's new dish: Zuppa Tuscana Soup


The soup was delicious! I'd give it a 9 out of 10. Next time I would cut my potato chunks a bit smaller, and maybe added some crushed chilli pepper for spice.


We had garden salad with Italian dressing and warm bread with butter. A copycat of Olive Garden. Yum Yum!
