February holidays February is the shortest month but brings a few choice holidays. We start off with Groundhog Day, a day that we all hope brings us closer to spring. Whether or not (no pun intended) we have a longer or shorter winter, Mother Nature shows us a mind of her own during the month of February. Then two of our most honored and beloved past and dearly departed presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, have birthdays during this month, referred to collectively as President’s Day (and President’s Week in some places). And, of course, the holiday that celebrates love is right around the corner. Valentine’s Day is a day for old love, young love, lovers and friends. Really, it’s a day to celebrate all different kinds of love. Visit the Chocolate Tree for Valentines Candy or Bitty’s Florist for flowers for that special person in your life. Don’t forget take in dinner with one of the restaurants you find in our pages. For a special romantic treat, surprise your sweetheart with an evening at a local bed and breakfast or stroll along the beach hand in hand and just enjoy spending some time with your honey or your kids. Whatever your plans, remember that Valentine’s Day is a time to let all of those special people in our lives know how much they mean to us. Just a card or a phone call can make such a difference. Enjoy these February holidays. We are so fortunate to live in a place that is beautiful all year long. Take those chilly days in stride. Hopefully the Groundhog will be kind and spring will be right around the corner.

He turned over slowly and then he said, “I wonder if spring is on the way, I’ll go and check the weather today. If I see my shadow between eleven and noon, I then will know that I’m out too soon. I’ll crawl back in bed for six weeks more, Pull up the warm covers and snore and snore. But if no shadow gives me a scare, I know that spring is in the air, I’ll wake my friends and wish them cheer, With glorious news that spring is here.” -Unknown

Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup 1 pound of fresh broccoli florets 4 tablespoons butter 1 carrot, finely chopped 1/2 onion, finely chopped 6 cups chicken stock, divided 1/2 cup flour or corn starch 3 cups half and half or whole milk
Chicken Noodle Soup 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup) 2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup) 2 ribs celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup) Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 2-1/2 cups of chicken broth 1 1-lb. bone-in chicken breast half, with skin on 8 ounces medium egg noodles 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS: In a pot, warm oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery; season with salt. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add broth, 8 cups water and chicken. Bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken. Bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat. Add noodles; cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove skin and bone from chicken. Shred chicken; return to pot. Season soup with marjoram, thyme and salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
DIRECTIONS: Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and carrots and saute for 5-6 minutes, or until onions and carrots are tender. Add 2 cups of chicken stock to the pot and heat until boiling. Add broccoli and put lid on pot. Steam broccoli with the carrots and onions for 5-6 minutes in the chicken broth until the broccoli is tender. Using a spatula or spoon, break up broccoli into small pieces. Reduce heat to low. Add remaining chicken stock. Mix flour and half and half in a small bowl or measuring cup with a whisk until smooth. Add half and half/flour mixture to the pot. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking over low heat until soup thickens - about 5-6 minutes. Gradually add cheese stirring constantly until smooth - about 10 minutes. If soup becomes too thick, add additional chicken stock. Serve with crusty whole grain bread.
Potato Leek Soup 2 tablespoons butter 3 large leeks, cut lengthwise, separate, clean, (Use only the white and pale green parts) chop 6 – 8 russet potatoes, thinly sliced 3-1/2 cups chicken broth (or enough to barely cover potatoes)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1 cup heavy cream salt to taste fresh ground black pepper to taste Crumbled crisp bacon/croutons (optional)
DIRECTIONS: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat then leeks. Cook, stirring, until softened. Add sliced potatoes to saucepan then pour in enough chicken broth to just barely cover the potatoes. Cooking over medium heat until potatoes are tender. Using a potato masher, mash and stir potatoes until desired consistency is reached. As you mash the potatoes and the soup thickens, turn down heat and stir frequently with a large spoon to prevent scorching on the bottom. Add one cup of heavy cream and parsley, thyme and salt and black pepper to taste. Cook 15 minutes more over low heat, stirring frequently, then remove from heat and serve. Top with crisp bacon or croutons if desired.
