Classic Pasta e Fagioli

Back in the Northeast, you’ll hear this classic soup name pronounced all kinds of ways. “Pasta fazhool” was the version I heard most. No matter how you say it, though, it’s still one of my favorites.

Diana’s Soy Bagels

I love this recipe. I’ve been making it for a long time, so, not new, but I get lots of requests to share it because they’re so tasty. They’re probably the best bagels you’ll ever have. Like all bread, bagels are really easy to make, but they take a few hours to make because of…
