Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
During cold winter days, soup is one of the things I like making. This was a new recipe to me and the first time I used chorizo. It was a quick and easy soup to make and was great for leftovers for the rest of the week. I served it with sliced french bread, but… Continue reading Lentil and Chorizo Soup
It's time for this month's Fantastical Food Fight featuring slow cooker soups! This was a pretty easy theme for me since I usually make soup in my slow cooker. Earlier this month, I threw together a ham and bean soup with leftover ham from Christmas....but I forgot to take pictures before we ate it all.… Continue reading Slow Cooker Roasted Garlic Butternut Squash Soup
As you've probably noticed, it's been a little quite on the blog the past week. Work has been busy, cheer is over and we're all trying to slow down a little. I'm also working on getting back to eating healthy and working out again. My company is doing a "Maintain, Don't Gain" challenge later this… Continue reading Hearty Beef Stew
Last weekend, I received a head of cabbage in our CSA share and cauliflower was on sale...it was the perfect timing to make this low carb unstuffed cabbage soup. I love stuffed cabbage, but it's a pretty labor intensive dish...but this soup fills that craving for me. Plus it's made in the slow cooker! Win,… Continue reading Low Carb Unstuffed Cabbage Soup
The one thing I love about summer is all the fresh vegetables - corn, tomatoes, squash, cukes and more - plus you can't forget about all the stone fruit. YUM! There's a little farm stand I buy corn from and it's so good. It's super sweet and they pick it fresh every morning and even… Continue reading Summer Corn Chowder
I've had my fair share of cheesesteaks growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs, but never as a stew. The flavors are exactly like a cheesesteak! I loved this as a stew and will serve it in bread bowls next time I make it. I eliminated the provolone melted on top, but my husband had it that… Continue reading Cheesesteak Stew
So summer might be over, but I'm still trying to hold on to all the fresh fruit and vegetables that are available. There's nothing like fresh veggies straight from the garden. I guess we could always move to somewhere warm year around, but I like having different seasons too much! I made this soup with… Continue reading Creamy Summer Corn and Potato Chowder
It's been beyond frigid here lately...like I don't even want to get out of bed its so cold. Now throw in a housebreaking a puppy...I really don't want to go outside. Once the weather gets cold like this, I crave soup, stews and chowder. The best part of this recipe is being able to throw… Continue reading Slow Cooker Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe was a mistake! I had planned to make a slow cooker chicken parmesan soup, but after looking at the recipe, I was missing some ingredients...so I winged it and came out with this delicious soup instead! Sometimes mistakes turn into something really good. Since I work from home the majority of the time,… Continue reading Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Soup
I can't tell you the last time we've seen the sun here in PA. It's really depressing and makes me want to make hearty soups and stews...and this recipe will not disappoint. It's a super easy recipe to make and takes less than 30 minutes to make. Perfect for dinner during the week!This soup was… Continue reading White Bean, Kale & Sausage Soup
