Anyone else feeling the Autumn/Fall bug yet? I am! I went to Target the other day and fully embraced the pumpkin craze. Even though we live in Florida, I can still feel the shift in weather as the end of the year approaches. Darker mornings, less humidity, cooler mid-day temps… I just love it! With […]
We’re having a few wet and cold days here in April and I wanted to make something that was warm and made the house smell good (we are still quarantined and all….). Since we have an abundance of ground meat in the freezer and canned beans in the cabinet, I decided to make a chili. […]
Corona Virus. It’s all anyone is talking about, thinking about… talking about…. thinking about… these days. It’s hard to find fresh foods at the shops. It’s hard to find the desire to go in public to shop at the food stores. So, I’ll be focusing more on Mostly Pantry Dinners. Tonights dinner is brought to you […]
Many years ago, about 10, I went traveling in Europe and ended up spending some unexpected time in Paris. To my surprise, I loved many things about Paris, particularly the french onion soup. I ended up eating it every day and anywhere I could. That’s how addicting it was! To this day, I’ve never been […]
I’ve been feeling the need to eat a little lighter and healthier this week… just a little. 🙂 So, I made what I absolutely love making when that feeling hits – a soup! And, not just any soup. I made a creamy, comforting, yummy delicious soup that I’ll also be enjoying for the rest of […]
Soup! My all-time favorite meal. You can mix and meat and/or veg into a bowl with broth and it’s always delicious. Don’t believe me? Try any number of my 30+ soups I’ve made (recipes here)! This one is no exception. I used the leftover stock from Thanksgiving that I made and it made it that […]
Sometimes, Taco Tuesday calls for taco in soup form. 🙂 And today is that kind of day. I wanted a southwestern type meal, but wasn’t feeling traditional tacos. So, instead, I sliced the taco shells, baked them into crispy strips and made the inside of what would have been a taco into a soup. It’s […]
I’m back on my weekly soup kick! My red dutch oven had the summer off but now that it’s Autumn, it’s back in action. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love soup. I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life. So, when you love soup […]
The weather has been teasing us here in the Northeast with cooler Autumn weather. Yesterday morning, is was 59 degrees when I went out for my morning run and I knew right then and there, it was going to be a good night for chili. But with Matilda popping out a new tooth every day […]
During the school year, I make soups once a week. They make so many extra meals and freeze so well. Fast forward to summer, and I don’t want to eat a hot bowl of soup that often. There’s one exception – when I can use fresh summer veggies, like corn and zucchini. Jersey corn is […]
