Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
How is this week Thanksgiving already? Where did November go? I thought things would slow down since Madeline's cheer season ended earlier this month, but somehow we just filled the rest of the month with other things to do. Granted, I do enjoy having my Monday and Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings free...I'm missing hanging… Continue reading Lentil Beef Stew
I've been on a little bit of a soup kick lately and here's my newest creation - Stuffed Pepper Soup. I picked a bunch of peppers and wanted to make stuffed peppers. Unfortunately, they were little peppers and wouldn't have been good for stuffing, so I decided to make a stuffed pepper soup instead. I threw… Continue reading Stuffed Pepper Soup
It's feeling like fall today - with temperatures barely in the 60s and the leaves are really starting to change colors. While I really love this season, there's been no transition from summer to fall. I made this soup last week when it was still warm, but I'm wishing I had made it again this… Continue reading Chicken Bacon & Wild Rice Soup
This year my garden has been a little off. I'm getting a bumper crop of peppers, all my tomatoes ripened at the same time (even though some were supposed to be ready in early July), and my parsley and basil didn't do well. I'm blaming it on the weather, lack of rain, and this is… Continue reading Gazpacho with Basil Cornbread Croutons
Are your counters filled with zucchini like mine are? I planted one plant in my garden and its been producing all summer long...plus we've been getting a few zucchini from my in laws. While I love zucchini, it's been a little overwhelming this year. I've made muffins several times and have 12 quart sized bags… Continue reading Cream of Zucchini Soup
We're recovering from a nor'easter that dumped almost 20 inches of snow on us. I'm sure everyone in the Northeast is over winter. It's been storm after storm this winter season and I'm throwing up the white flag and giving up. Let's hope this weekend's storm is the last one forecasted for this winter...otherwise we… Continue reading Hamburger Soup
Things have been pretty crazy around here especially coming off the rush of the holidays and trying to get back into the swing of things. Of course with the New Year, I'm trying to get us back to eating cleaner and working out again. It's been going ok, but I need to really focus after… Continue reading Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash, Quinoa and Black Beans
It's a cold, damp day...perfect weather for this soup. It really warms you up. I love the Italian meatballs but neither of my kids were real fans them. Cooper loves meatballs but I think the addition of sausage in them made him dislike them. He would put a piece in his mouth and then spit… Continue reading Italian Meatball Soup
I love ramen noodles, I know they're so bad for you...but I still enjoy them every once in awhile. Plus they're my go-to meal when I'm feeling sick. This soup was delicious. We all gobbled it up and I loved how quick and easy it was to make. It definitely took Ramen noodles to a… Continue reading Shrimp and Veggie Ramen
Well it's the first day of Spring, but it's sure not feeling like it! It's windy and cold today...the perfect day for a bowl of warm soup instead of free water that Rita's is giving out today. My poor flowers are probably so confused. We had a few days of warm weather at the beginning… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower and Cheddar Soup
