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 […]
Charoset is a combination of fruit and nuts made into a roughly chopped paste and is typically eaten on Passover. It’s a symbolic food – in color and texture – meant to remember the mortar the Israelites used when they were enslaved in Ancient Egypt. There are many ways of making charoset, including my families version. In our family recipe book, […]
Salmon is a weekly staple in our house and it generally has some kind of seasoning, herb topping and lemon on it. Why? Because it’s easy and delicious. And, while I typically bake it, this is an even easier way to make it in a pan. The butter keeps it super moist and the lemon […]
Back in November, I shared a great how-to on how to make a cheese board. It was so popular, that I decided to make another one, but with fruit and veggies this time. Since we eat with out eyes first, I wanted this board to scream Springtime, so I decided a rainbow of colors would […]

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 […]
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 […]
When you think Valentine’s Day, soup isn’t the first thing that comes to my mind. Well, maybe it is but some would say I’m not normal. 🙂 With my love of soup at an all time high, I wanted to make a soup that really screamed romance or sexy or Valentine’s Day! So, I made […]
My day was just insane today – how about yours? Crazy, I know. I don’t have time to do anything, let alone think about what I want to make for dinner. Thankfully, I planned for an easy dinner knowing today was going to be hectic. Sometimes, breakfast for dinner is just easier. But, just because I’m […]
