Are you into soups? Do your kids love drinking soup too? This is certainly the book for you!!

300 Sensational Soups by Carla Snyder & Meredith Deeds has a whole list of soups which you can try out.

Chilled soups

I love the selection of international soups and some of my favourite chowders which I have been yearning to make at home for the kids. Each recipe also includes tips and techniques along with garnishing ideas. As well, there are many creative variations and serving suggestions. There are also really eye catching and mouthwatering pictures of the different soups in between the pages which really wheat my appetite.

Brocolli Soup

The kids loved eating Broccoli and I was thrilled to find a Broccoli, Bacon and Cheddar Chowder recipe within the book. It wasn’t too difficult to make and we had the soup for dinner.

I will be trying the different soups in the book in time to come and certainly recommend this book to a Soup lover.
With 300 recipes to choose from, ranging from everyday fare to elegant dishes for entertaining, 300 Sensational Soups offers home chefs a perfect bowl of soup every time.

Weekend Reflections: Birthday Celebrations and Making Memories

Doggie boy's birthday cake

Doggie boy turned 6 this week and this year he requested for an Angry Bird Space cake for his birthday. He had been having an overload of Angry bird since we visited the Angry Bird Space Playground at the airport last month. He was really happy to see his birthday cake and had a cake cutting session with his school mates.

Blowing out the candles

He tried blowing out his candles with gusto but was surprised when it started to relight by itself. He didn’t know that we bought relighting candles and it would take him and his siblings 7 attempts to get all the candles blown off. It was a good investment for $1.50.

birthday celebration

It was the last time that he would be celebrating his birthday with his Kindergarten friends as he will be entering Elementary school come January 2013. I know that he will be missing the cozy environment and all the friends that had been together with him for the past few years.The birthday celebration marks and end to his preschool life and a closure to a chapter of his life.

I’m sure looking back at the photos and videos which I took on this birthday he will certainly have warm and fuzzy thoughts on his mind.
