I’ve been blessed the past 4 months or so to have stumbled into a blogging group of quite amazing people. They’re talented, smart, motivated, fun, kind, giving…and make incredible recipes with mouth-watering photos. The “social” part of being in the social media world ebbs and flows for me – I get holed up in my […]

“That dip is good enough to eat with a SPOON!” Ever said that about something into which you’re only supposed to dip carrots or chips? This salsa soup recipe is a way to cut out the middleman and have an easy starter for Mexican night. While you’re finishing up the homemade tortillas, or better yet,

Other than over-salted egg drop soup in a Chinese restaurant, I don’t know that I ever had egg in a soup recipe until recently. It turns out the creamy egg yolk and the nourishing fats swimming in all that immunity-boosting broth is becoming one of my favorite comfort foods, and I’m excited to share this

One of our favorite sitcoms poked fun at old folks’ homes last season and showed a main character sipping “lasagna in a glass.” He was very impressed that it tasted “just like the real thing!” I can’t imagine whizzing lasagna into an Italian smoothie, pasta and all, and stuffing it in a glass, but last

This recipe combines the best of all strategies to help kids eat healthy foods – even straws! You can make the soup with truly any green veggie and watch them devour it, but only if you follow the parent rules about not only what to put in the recipe, but HOW to serve it. This
I’m lying in the title. The soup I’m sharing today is really one of those “framework recipes” to help you craft a soup that is just exactly how you like it. We’ve enjoyed a simple, creamy butternut squash soup that’s a little spicy, and we’ve also tried the roasted garlic base, which of course becomes

They told me to bring it again. When my husband’s extended family gets together for holidays, everyone brings food and we eat until we can’t fit through the doorway. The Thanksgiving and Christmas menus are generally different, but this year, I was ordered to do a repeat. You know you’ve got a good recipe when
Try this healthy curried sweet potato and carrot soup in your slow cooker for an easy dinner recipe! This is a guest post from Stacy of Stacy Makes Cents. I’d be making this soup tonight if I could get my husband to eat orange mushy vegetables… Curried Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup for Crock Pot

Soup’s On! Nothing is more warming than a hot bowl of soup on a chilly day, nothing more nourishing than bone broth, in any form. We eat soup once or twice a week, sometimes more, in the fall and winter months. I’ve been wanting to share this one for quite some time now. My black
I just can’t stop making soup, even when it’s ninety degrees outside. You may think of soup, broth, and hearty beans as purely a winter thing, but with all the fresh produce coming into my house (from the Farmer’s Market…remember, the organic gardening series were all guest posts!) I can’t help but make some of
I can still picture standing in the kitchen my first summer in an apartment, talking on the phone with my mother. I called her a lot to ask how to do things! I just wanted the recipe for cream of potato soup, one of my favorites, and there she was explaining how to make a “roux”

I ran into a leek today at the supermarket. I’ve never bought a leek, or even looked one in the face before. The closest I’ve ever come is reading about them. They bring to mind a sensation of English literature, like if I was the little girl in The Secret Garden, I would eat leeks
Do you know the thrill of creating a recipe from scratch? I can’t tell you how tickled I get when I manage something like this (it’s happened only a handful of times in my life). I think it’s pretty cool already that I have become bold enough in the kitchen to mess with other people’s
Our family was so healthy this winter, I just praise God for all the sicknesses we missed out on as friends and family around us were struck with this bug or that one. The first time I even felt a tickle in my throat was in March, and I had been talking with a friend
