Broccoli Cheddar Soup
We weren’t big soup eaters growing up. The only soup I remember my mom serving (I say serving and not making because there was no making about it) was tomato soup. From the can. Ugh. I did not like it. It tasted like drinking V8 or some other awful tomato drink. I was not a…
Thai Red Curry
I never had Thai food growing up. It wasn’t until some friends encouraged us to go to a local Thai restaurant that I fell in love with Thai food. Now it is pretty much the only place I want to go on my birthday. If a town has a good Thai restaurant, it’s got to…
Chili
Almost everyone in my house loves this chili. I say almost because of course there is Beau, who likes about 10 things. I’m not kidding. Luckily when I make this chili, we usually eat it with chips, cheese, and sour cream. If I grab some salsa and guacamole – Beau has a meal. Yikes! Anyone…
Corn Chowder
When Andy and I got married, I was a vegetarian. It was the first time I had to cook for a meat eater on a consistent basis. Needless to say, it was also the first time Andy got to eat lots of vegetarian meals. This corn chowder was one of them. It is easy…
White Chicken Chili with Black Beans
Nothing says fall better than a nice hot bowl of chili. You probably have half a dozen different chili recipes in your kitchen as we speak. Why do you need one more? I’ll tell you why – because this one is a show stopper. Literally – I have won chili cook offs with this chili. …
Cauliflower and White Cheddar Soup
Cauliflower – we have become rather close over the years. It wasn’t always this way. In the beginning, I’d say we were just good acquaintances. At some point I began to roast you and we became friends. Snacking on you steamed and dipped in ranch or hummus – also yummy. I even cut you up…
Creamy Potato Soup
If you are like me, fall comes along and all you want to eat is soup. Well, soup and everything with pumpkin. And hot chocolate. Oh, let’s face it, I want to eat everything all the time. Anyway, cooler temps make me want to eat nice warm cozy food. The other day, Luke had braces…
Tomato Basil Soup
It’s fall. Okay, we still have a week or so but it felt like fall today. For me, fall means soup. One of our favorites is tomato basil. I have a recipe I have used for years that most of us like (not Emma, which is odd because even the picky eater, Beau, likes it).…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
