SEARED STEAK SALAD

INGREDIENTS

Fresh Tomato Soup

Nothing says comfort more than a warm bowl of tomato soup. Ditch the can and prepare this homemade soup with fresh veggies. Buying in season is smart on so many levels: Produce tastes best in season, and it’s usually less expensive. Since we crave tomato soup beyond the peak of summer, this recipe calls for plum tomatoes, which tend to be flavorful all-year long.

 

INGREDIENTS

Winter Salad

Steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets tossed with a tangy lemon dressing is a great alternative to a green salad or steamed vegetable side dish. 

 

Spicy Caramel Brownies

These fudgy brownies have a thick, rich swirl of dulce de leche and a kick from ground red pepper.

If you prefer a milder version, omit or reduce the pepper. Allow egg whites to stand at room temperature 15 minutes to take the chill off before using.
