Cool Night in St. Louis: Soup is a Must
Even though it is the end of April, St. Louis still manages to find a way to bring in 40 degree weather! All I wanted for dinner was soup this weekend, so on Sunday I made Chicken Tortilla Soup. Since finals are approaching around the corner and my last days as a college student are numbered [...]
Missing the South – Crawfish Etouffee
