When my friend, Peggy Sweeney McDonald, wanted to come on my show, The Bikini Lifestyles Show, to talk about her new web TV show, Savoring the Sweetness, of course, I said “yes” right away. Not only has Peggy become a dear friend who happens to be a fellow Southern Belle, she is always bubbling with positive energy and filled with interesting food stories. Food stories are her life so it only makes sense that Peggy has so many to share. She shares them in her highly acclaimed live food monologue show, Meanwhile, Back at Cafe DuMonde, and also on her new web TV series. I was honored to be Peggy’s first guest on Savoring the Sweetness and even more honored to know that I am in great company with other guests such as Tess Masters, The Blender Girl.
When Peggy came on my show, she was kind enough to present the Recipe of the Week direct from her interview with Tess and The Blender Girl Cookbook. The result was a super creamy no-cream Puree of Cauliflower Soup that is simple to whip up and deliciously good for you. Key ingredients: fresh garlic, leeks, cashews, chives and the star of the soup, cauliflower.
