Let's go to a chili crawl and eat allllllll tha chilis. Have you ever heard of a chili crawl? I hadn't heard of one until this past weekend when there was one going on in town. Basically all the restaurants in this one area all made chili, and you would go from restaurant to restaurant trying the different variations and voting for the best one. Doesn't that sound like fun?! In my wildest ...
Spicy Curried Carrot Soup
This soup makes me happy. The flavor makes me happy. The color makes me happy. The texture makes me happy. And making it makes me happy. It's not super often that you find really unique and different soups. For the most part, they are pretty standard and include a lot of the same ingredients. So this soup is a breath of fresh air for the world of soup-lovers (....me) out there! This carrot soup ...
Crock Pot White Chicken Chili
My dearest Crock Pot, I am grasping onto you for the remaining few weeks that it is acceptable to use you! Soon, warmer weather will be knocking on my front door, and I will welcome it with EXTREMELY open arms, but I will store you away, my Crock Pot friend, until next fall with sadness. One of the very few sad points about winter ending. Emphasis on FEW. I am sooooo ready for winter to be ...
Chicken Tikka Masala
My brother, Lyndon, and his wife, Amanda, came to visit this summer, and they made all kinds of awesome food. Amanda really loves to cook, too, and she's awesome at it. One night, her and Lyndon made Tikka Masala, aaaaannd I was freakin' out. It was SO good. So flavorful. So saucy. Perfectly spicy. Did I mention flavorful? Because the flavor was on point, people. So obviously I told them I was ...
Perfect 30 Minute Red Curry
Oh my gosh. Hold the phone. HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever consumed in my entire life. Food, drink, anything. First of all...allow me to preface... Up until a few years ago, I had never tried Thai curry. I had tried Indian curry, and I wasn't a big fan of that, so I thought that meant that I wouldn't like any curry. Then I went to a Thai restaurant, someone ...
30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet
Can I confess something to you? I know you won't tell anyone. For my entire life - every single day of my entire life - I thought barbecue was spelled barbeque. When did I come to the realization that this is, in fact, false? I'm glad you ask. It was about five minutes ago. I had made my Pinterest image and everything (that I put at the bottom of each post) with barbecue spelled with a "Q." Let's ...
Zuppa Toscana [Olive Garden Copycat]
Have you ever been to Olive Garden? If you haven't been there, chances are you've heard of it. It's actually not my favorite restaurant ever - everything there is okay but not amazing. With one exception!! Can you guess what the exception is...? Yes! This soup! They have a soup there called "Zuppa Toscana," and it is basically my favorite thing on this whole planet. I am obsessed. If I go to ...
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Yes. The answer to your question, yes, it tastes as good as it looks 👅👍😍👅. In case you missed that...it was one slurpy tongue (which signifies delicious food in my emoji dictionary - I don't know about yours), one thumbs up, one "heart eyes," and a second slurpy tongue (signifying more delicious food). This all roughly translates to the following: this soup rocks and you must make it and love it ...
The Perfect French Onion Soup
Oh, hello there! Remember me? The girl who used to cook, write, and photograph for this blog every week? I won't hold it against you if you forgot I existed...since I HAVEN'T POSTED IN FIVE YEARS. Okay, well it's been twelve days, not five years. But twelve days?!? That's a long time. That's almost two weeks of not posting! I apologize...I don't even have a good excuse. I do have an excuse, just ...
