Springtime weather can be so unpredictable – some days it’s freezing cold and raining and other days it’s hot and sunny. We just had many days of cold rainy weather and while the sun is finally out, I still feel like I’m defrosting and drying off. You probably already know how much love I have […]
Soups & Stews
Instant Pot Sweet Potato Coconut Curry Soup
I have made a few different versions of sweet potato soup over the years, but a coconut curried version is by far my favorite. It has the right amount of creaminess to compliment the spice and it’s warming yet not too spicy all in one bowl. While I tend to eat this in the colder […]
Instant Pot Turkey Meatball Soup
It’s no surprise that I love soup. I eat it every week, sometimes everyday in a week. But soup doesn’t have to be textureless or tasteless. In fact, it can be quite robust and flavorful. But the bigger the flavors, the longer it takes to cook, right? Nope! Not if you have an Instant Pot! […]
Instant Pot Tuscan White Bean Soup
Spring break has come to an end, and I wanted to ease into the week slowly with a simple soup. Lots of leftovers are key for me getting back into the swing of things. They make for easy lunches that I don’t have to think about. Chop, dump, set and forget. That’s the beauty of […]
Matzo Ball Soup
Matzo has a very distinct smell. For me, I never realized how nostalgic it was until I started making it on my own. I can vividly remember eating matzo ball soup at every holiday with my family in my parents dining room. Some years it was in my cousin Caroline and Sumner’s house or in […]
Carrot & Coriander Soup
The first time I went to meet my now mother-in-law, she made Trevor and me carrot & coriander soup. It was Springtime at Easter and she grew coriander in her garden. I thought coriander was just the British word for what I would call cilantro. But, there’s actually more to it. So, what is coriander? […]
Vegetable Beef Soup
Soup is great because you can take any vegetable, canned food, meat, fresh herbs from your garden, etc… that you have on hand, throw it together and you have a deliciously warm meal. A vegetable beef soup is so easy too because it’s all made in one pot and makes the house smell amazing while […]
Bean & Kale Soup
When I was first trying to figure out what soup I wanted to make this week, I knew it had to have a lot of veggies in it since this is Spring week. Flowers and veggies love to start popping up this time of year and I needed to have them in my soup! So […]
Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Here’s the last recipe of the week featuring Trader Joe’s only ingredients! It’s been a fun and super easy cooking week, something I’ve really looked forward to given the clocks changed and we’ve all been so tired. And since I love making soup on Friday’s, we’re ending the week with a super creamy, almost decadent […]
Peruvian Aquadito
Until a few days ago, I never knew what an aquadito was let alone how to make it. I didn’t know what went into it or where it was from. But that’s the beauty of traveling through food. You learn. You expand your mind, your palate and your weekly food routine. So now that I’ve […]
