I had a thick, hot, soul warming soup in mind as the snow fell to the ground. I pictured a cross between a chili (minus the meat), minestrone, and vegetable soup. I believe this was exactly what I was looking for. Kevin and I agreed it needs to be more spicy, more depth of flavor, […]
Jambalaya
As Kevin and I were out shopping Monday and he saw a box of Jambalaya. He goes through these craving moments that pass quickly, but I thought he was on to something. I wasn’t about to pay for some sodium laden box of Jambalaya mix so I decided to make my own. I came up […]

Spicy Chorizo Chili
After church today we were both craving something warm and soothing from Panera. But I always have a hard time choosing to go somewhere and pay $5 for a bowl of soup that I could make at home…and a whole pot for that same price! So I set to work developing something that suited our […]

Vegetable Stirfry
We were in the mood for something with rice and something with vegetables. I knew there were a few options and so I started pulling fresh veggies from my fridge. I chopped this and that and pretty soon my kitchen smelled like a Mongolian BBQ. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have in your […]

Vegetable Chili
This could also be called: “Everything but the Kitchen Sink” Chili. (Or as Kevin says, “Stuff In A Pot.”) No seriously. It all began when I looked in the fridge and saw the fresh broccoli. I didn’t want it to go bad. I wanted to use it. And I wanted soup. But something fattening like […]

Chicken-Tortilla Soup
This was a recipe I had copied from a friend’s Southern Living’s Slow Cooker Cookbook. I was in the mood for soup. Something hearty. But flavorful. Nutritous. and of course Delicious. I believe this hit the nail on the head. I messed around with some of the ingredient quantities (most changes are noted in parentheses), […]
