From the 100 Days of Real Food cookbook. Thick and creamy--the best potato soup I've ever had. Freezes well for great leftovers.

"Pascal's Pancakes" from The Disney Princess Cookbook really are the best!

"This glaze is a must-have accompaniment to drizzle over fish, poultry, vegetables, pastas, salads, and even fruit. It can turn any dish from ordinary to extraordinary with its perfectly balanced, intense flavor of sweet and tangy. It adds a beautiful, deep pop of color to any dish to create a perfect, professional presentation. I make a large batch and have it on hand in the fridge at all times. Once you start adding this glaze to dishes you will become addicted and crave its intense flavor."

In this recipe, the potatoes are baked instead of steamed, to caramelize them for natural sweetness and eliminating the need for tons of sugar!

This is a wonderful mix served at our favorite local restaurant.
