I'll be joining Sherry at Sherry's Picking and other bloggers for her IN MY KITCHEN share... where anyone can join in.
Here's some of what's been happening in my kitchen this past month.
I could not resist these gorgeous little soup bowls. I really did not need them but they match the style of my other bowls- so I added them to my collection.
As many know, I published a soups cookbook a few years ago for plant-based soups cookbook (available on Amazon) and I make lots of easy homemade healthy low fat soups ! I can always use new soup bowls.

I tried this vegan wild mushroom gravy for Thanksgiving. It was too bland for my liking. So I'll back to making my own vegan gravy in the future.
I found some gnocchi that was gluten free and it was calling my name. I have not tried it yet.
I like the frozen Daring plant-based chicken. I only buy the original (they have breaded ones, flavored ones etc.) but the plain has the least calories and fat). I use it in a sandwich or in a stir-fry.
Flavor Bombs:
This seems to be something new that they are selling in the produce isle.They are cherry tomatoes that are extremely flavorful. Have you seen them or tried them?
I'm back in my Florida kitchen since mid October, and I'm back getting roses from the flower man that delivers to our condo building. His roses are gorgeous and usually last at least 10 days. He gets them right off the plane from Ecuador and delivers the same day throughout the beach area every Friday!! And they have a fragrance that is like perfume.
My neighbor friend gave me the beautiful crystal vase as an early birthday present.
Thanks for stopping by. That's it for what was in my kitchen last month.

Time really flies. I love those bowls! Why are you so afraid of fat? Healthy fat is GOOD for you. I eat lots of fat...the first thing I ate after fasting is tallow and bone broth. I think my daily fat consumption is 100-110 grams....sometimes I would eat up to 140 grams if I want to add some cod liver...they are absolutely wonderful for your brain.
ReplyDeletemy son feels the same way you do about fat... he eats LOTS of fat
DeleteThose soup bowls are very cheery.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy- I am enjoying them.
DeleteThe soup bowls are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie
DeleteI love the soup bowls.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori...
DeleteI like your new soup bowls.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed a tendency for 'sweet' vegetables and fruit - tomatoes, particularly.
yes things seem to be getting sweeter
Deleteyou are so ready. i have an unhealthy obsession with "bowls", i don't know why, and yours are so pretty. lovely roses!!
ReplyDeleteI like bowls too... maybe I have an obsession too. ha ha
DeleteYou always have interesting new pottery/dishes to show us. I need to be more committed to buying new dishes but I just don’t have any more space!
ReplyDeleteThank you.. I do love pottery and dishes and when I see what I like, I grab them.
DeleteI love those bowls. I do like mushroom gravy. I'm off to check out your book. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteYes, have a look at my cookbook...
DeleteLove the soup bowls and how gorgeous are those roses?! Hope you had a lovely thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThank you...
DeleteLove the beautiful red roses. Wish I knew a place that sold roses that smell good. Unless I get some from someone else's garden, I don't think I'm going to find any with a nice aroma.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised how fragrant they are- it's unusual to find any with a smell lately
DeleteI absolutely love your homemade mushroom gravy, its the perfect way to give regular old mashed potatoes a fabulous flavor makeover! The addition of celery and soy sauce makes the flavor off-the-charts amazing!
ReplyDeleteI don't make it often but when I do , we enjoy it.
DeleteOh my that mashed potato and mushroom gravy looks so delicious! I wonder how the vegan gnocchi tastes? And i do love the crockery you are using. Have a fab December.
ReplyDeleteCheers

I love mashed potatoes and the gravy is a plus
DeleteThose bowls are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really was attracted to them... I'm looking forward to using them.
DeleteThose soup bowls are so cute. They will go nicely with a hot cup of soup or stew. And you know how much I appreciate those red roses! They are gorgeous. A perfect color of red too.
ReplyDeleteHave a merry and bright December week.

Thanks Sheri...
DeleteI’d have grabbed those pretty little soup bowls too.
ReplyDeleteYour Florida roses are gorgeous.
That crystal vase is such a thoughtful gift.
Yes, I was so pleased with the vase. She knew I had a very simple vase from the grocery store, so she bought me a beautiful one for a big birthday!
DeleteThose little soup bowls are really cute! It's nice to treat yourself to something, even if you don't necessarily need it. Your roses are very pretty too!
ReplyDeleteYes, I figure why not? I love just looking at them.
DeleteI'm a sucker for flowers and the roses are gorgeous. When I lived in S Florida I had a connection to imported roses. Now I'm stuck with what's in the store.
ReplyDeleteFunny I wonder why just South Florida
DeleteGorgeous pink roses! I'm so curious about those cherry tomatoes, are they different to the usual ones? In France you can get the vine-less ones which are quite cheap (I think the French love them) or the ones with vines which are $$$ but super flavourful. I wonder if they just put it in a packet with the packaging claiming flavour bomb? anyway have a great holiday season and see you in 2026!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are very expensive. The cost between 4.99 and 5.99 depending on where you buy them. I get them from a produce store that gets hundreds of them and sells them for 99cents and sells out in an hour.
DeleteAnswer to your question on my blog today. I normally share the recipes, but didn't have time yesterday. I will copy it and send it off to you. I have a doc appt this am so it will be later today. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know the recipe is up https://beadwright.blogspot.com/2025/12/requset-for-sweet-bread.html
ReplyDeleteI have not tried those particular toms but last week scored a CRAZY good deal on mixed cherry toms and oh my yum. I roasted them and now using them for all kinds of things. Sooooo good. PS: Great bowls!
ReplyDeleteI do like the soup bowls, they are nice and colourful.
ReplyDeleteHasn't this year flown by ... enjoy your December days.
All the best Jan
Those bowls 🥣 are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI agree, those bowls will be serving soup in grand style! Your mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy look delicious! Enjoy the great weather, it is so cold in Texas right now....
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe it's already December. And just like everyone else, I DO LOVE there bowls - they are gorgeous!
