Happy cooking, delicious food

Kitchen wisdom

Tomato Soup / JillHough.com Tomato Soup is surprisingly simple to make. Not as simple as opening a can, but still easy—and exponentially more satisfying.

Is it okay to use canned tomatoes?

Bacon, Caramelized Onion, and Thyme Pie / JillHough.com A lot like a quiche except it doesn’t have cheese. It also has an unusually high proportion of goodies—in this case, bacon, caramelized onion, and thyme—to quiche-y egg-and-cream custard.

How to make pastry

Rustic Gruyère Chive Scones / JillHough.com These savory scones have plenty of cheesy goodness and a little earthiness from whole wheat flour. I like them along side soup, salad, or an eggy casserole for brunch, lunch, or dinner—or simply with a cup of coffee for breakfast.

A tip for tender baked goods

Cumin-Roasted Potatoes / JillHough.com Tender, sweet baby or creamer potatoes get tossed with whole cumin seeds, and paprika, plus plenty of salt and olive oil.
