cheddar

I LOVE soup! More specifically, I love any kind of soup with a cheesy or creamy base. Creamy chicken wild rice soup, broccoli cheddar soup, and cream of just about anything soup makes me go weak in the knees (or would that be weak in the taste buds?)! Soups are amazing as a side to a meal or as the meal itself. So I thought tonight we would attempt our hand at making a broccoli cheese soup in 20 minutes or less.

My green bell pepper plants have finally produced large enough peppers for eating, so I came up with some tasty meals that could incorporate my garden fresh peppers. The first one was the steak sandwich. Then, considering my husband's inexplicable love of "Mexican" food and all things wrapped in a tortilla, I decided to make Chicken Fajitas!

I grew up with tuna from a can and didn't realize until much, much later in life that there is a such thing as "ahi tuna" and other forms of tuna that do not come out of a can. In fact, these fancy kinds of tuna are served at fancy kinds of restaurants! I remember the first time I went out to eat at a classy restaurant and my mother-in-law ordered tuna.

If you've ever been to Arby's fast food restaurant and tried a beef 'n' cheddar melt, you know how tasty, but simple they are. If you've never been, you're not really missing out because I'm going to teach you how to make your own version but even better than the restaurant one.
My husband always had two major gripes about Arby's:
1) they were not particularly well-valued (i.e. expensive for what you actually got)
