Creamy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

 My mom bought me The Barefoot Contessa’s (Ina Garten) latest cookbook, Foolproof.  During last week’s super chilly weather the recipe for creamy tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons was calling my name.  It was so simple to make and the flavors were just ridiculously good.  I made sure my first taste was the perfect bite of creamy tomato soup topped with a crisp, buttery grilled cheese crouton.  It was like getting hugged by your mama.  So comforting, eyes-rolling-to-the-back-of-your-head-delicious.

Peach-Whiskey Barbecue Chicken

As I was scouring the internet for some new meal ideas I came across this recipe for Peach-Whiskey Barbecue Chicken.  It was fall-off-the-bone deliciousness.  The sauce is sweet with a touch of smokiness from the barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s all the way).  There was plenty of leftover sauce so I plan on grilling up some chicken breasts and just pouring it on top of those.  Pairing up the chicken with some red skinned smashed potatoes made for the perfect comfort meal.
