I’m not the biggest fan of cold soup. But I am a fan of a light soup with a lot of nutrition to eat during the summer when I don’t need a heavy meal. This is why this Spring Leek Soup recipe is a great idea this time of year. Leeks are high in Vitamin …
This is an old favorite that came about in the mid 80’s through a Quick Cooking magazine. That recipe came with me when I moved into my first apartment and it has been made every year since 1998. 2 pounds ground beef 2 cups diced onions 1 cup diced bell pepper 4 cloves chopped garlic …
There is something to be said for being smart, looking at your surroundings, obeying that inner voice that often gives a gentle nudge in one direction without being judgmental. It’s usually a good idea to check your sources thoroughly and make carefully thought-out plans. And then there are those times when it’s perfectly normal to …
Cold day. Hot food waiting for me. This is one of the reasons I look forward to fall and winter so much. I use my slow cooker on average twice a week and it is so easy to get stuck in the chili-roast-stew rut. I can usually tell I’m stuck when Stephen grimaces after I …
I know it’s summer. And it’s beyond hot in Alabama. But nothing screams “good healthy food” like a vegetable soup with homemade bone broth, and fantastic flavors. I almost made a regular ol’ chicken soup but then thought about my latest favorite cookbook, Everyday Paleo Thai Cuisine. Sarah Fragoso has a wonderful soup that I …
In preparation for a new round of Whole 30, I had to pull out my current favorite cookbook, Well Fed 2. When I saw this soup recipe, I knew I had to try it. I’m a huge soup fan, but most of my soups during these 30 days are broth based. Melissa promised this one …
I know it is not soup weather, but it IS getting closer to back-to-school and that means slow cooker meals, easy to reheat soups, and low maintenance dinners and leftovers. I need fast and easy for the first few weeks of school chaos, and this Chipotle Chicken Tomato Soup fits the bill. I looked at …
This is a new version of my previous soup, but this one is compliant with Whole 30, meaning it has no beans, potatoes, or products containing sugar. I simply replaced the beans with a diced summer squash and carrots for extra vegetables and it was just as good, if not better than the original. 1 …
I had to make a Whole 30 approved chicken soup without any rice or potatoes. The key to good chicken soup? A WHOLE chicken, preferably one with no antibiotics or free range, slow simmered so all that bone broth goodness comes out. I promise that makes a world of difference. This is really easy to …
I’ve tried making several cream-based soups into a gluten free version with varied results. Potato flour is the best substitute for regular flour but the soup will have a potato flavor. While I do like a loaded potato with broccoli and cheese, this week I wanted the plain thick creamy broccoli cheese soup without …
I love coming home the smell of slow cooker meals. Cold nights are instantly better with a few Christmas lights and a bowl of soup ready within 5 minutes of walking in the door. My latest issue of Clean Eating magazine had a recipe I had to try. The part that I changed was the …
It’s story time! This one is called “The Day Katrina Figured Out Gluten-Free Potato Soup” and it’s quite a story. During the first few hours/days of learning the only “cure” from horrendous symptoms of Celiac disease was to cut wheat, I had a steady list of foods and dishes that I was really going to …
It’s 987* outside but nothing is going to stop my Christmas cheer. A little adult beverage might be the reason for the visions of gumdrops and several feet of snow in my yard. But anyway, I’m cheerful and the long list of things left to do is not bothering me ONE LITTLE BIT! My latest …
