Now that we’ve gone through what we hope is the last of the bi-polar transition to spring and summer, it is a perfect time to dust off the grill and enjoy some outdoor cooking. Growing up in Wisconsin, weekend brat cookouts were common, even well into the winter. We don’t grill as much as I did growing up, but I still love taking the time to be outdoors, and the smell of the grill.

Ever since my mom gave us her old wok, we’ve been attempting to bring it into use more often. We’ve made hot and sour soup, which was really fun, but the ingredient list was pretty extensive. I know I’ll make it again, but I wanted to attempt something less demanding with this awesome cooking tool.
We came up with this bread recipe a month or two ago following our invitation back to the Paleo Parent‘s house for another great pot luck, this time to celebrate their upcoming book, Beyond Bacon. As adamant pork lovers, we couldn’t help but make something with bacon in it. Taking Heather’s awesome orange-cranberry bread as a template, we decided to go a little further.
We don’t have soup often; but whenever we’re in the Yes Organic Market, I end up lingering in the soup aisle, almost drooling over the multitude of colorful boxes promising flavor-rich experiences in a bowl. Almost all of them have one thing or another that we generally avoid–soy by-products, canola oil, various preservatives and additives I can’t pronounce (let alone spell), etc.
Then, one day, I had one of those little “duh” moments when you realize something so obvious and simple you’re a little embarrassed to admit that you hadn’t thought of it before. I was going to make one of those soups. We had a ton of carrots from Costco in the fridge and I had been on a bit of a ginger kick, so I decided to try carrot-ginger soup.
