Kindly do me a favor and throw away - no, burn - every other soup recipe you've ever made and MAKE THIS AND ONLY THIS FOREVER. I'm fo reals. It's the only soup you'll ever need. We struck gold here, people. This soup is seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten, and it is ab-so-LUTELY going on my repeat list and, more importantly, my make-for-people-when-they-come-over-for-dinner list, and ...
Stout Chili
You chilly? Eat some chili. Ima just leave that cheesy pun there for a few minutes so you can enjoy it. Has it been enjoyed? Good. Let's continue. Ummmm can you maybe ignore the fact that this is the second chili recipe I've posted within a few months? What can I say...I'm a fan of chili, and I love how creative you can get with it. Also, it's the perfect cold weather food! It simmers on ...
Pork Shoulder and Roasted Tomatillo Stew
And the new upcoming trendy food item of 2018 goes tooooooo...hominy! JK there's probs no way that's going to happen. I rarely see hominy used in recipes. In fact, this is only the second time that I've ever even cooked with it or tasted it. The first time was in college when I was following someone else's recipe, and it was a vegetarian chili verde. But now...oh man, the hominy bug has bit me ...
Healing Chicken Noodle Stew
This stew could not be more perfect for the current weather in Kansas right now. It has been raining for two days, and it is just wonderfully comfy and cozy. Rainy days are awful if you are trying to run errands and be productive, but if you are staying inside all or most of the day? Pure bliss. Rainy days also aren't great for blog photography because no bright natural light = no bueno. But they ...
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 Moroccan Lentil Soup [Vegan]
I really need to make and post more Crock Pot recipes. Crock Pot meals are so much fun...they require so little work when you throw everything into the Crock Pot, and it's so awesome to have dinner all ready to go in the evening, especially when you know it's been simmering away all day! It's kind of hard to come up with Crock Pot recipes, though. I am never super confident that my cook times ...
21 Day Fix Turkey Chili
It’s winter. Chili is a must. There’s just something about making and eating chili during winter specifically that makes my whole body just so happy 😀. It’s a soothing process. Even more so than other stews and soups, but in a different way! Chili is such a hearty, meaty comfort food...and bonus: you are left with leftovers that get better and better in the fridge (one of my favorite parts of ...
Cheesy Potato Soup
Oh, a bowl of warm, comforting, thick, rich, CHEESY baked potato soup, you say? Yes please. I'll have seven bowls. Especially if they are in cute little pumpkin bowls like pictured above. I mean...if it doesn't have pumpkin in the recipe, I gotta throw some fall in their somehow. No pumpkin? Pumpkin bowls. Seems legit. Potato soup has always been one of my favorite meals. It was one of my mom's ...
Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup
I am creating a scale for comfort food. On one end, we have cold salad that you are eating while sitting in an uncomfortable chair, wearing super tight pants (the tight pants are key). On the other end, we have a steaming bowl of thick soup that you are eating while curled up in a blanket, sitting on your cushy couch in front of the fire place while it is snowing outside. We will call the salad a ...
Roasted Tomato Soup
Tomato soup and grilled cheese HAS to be one of the most comforting and delicious combinations in the entire world. Agreed? Agreed. The way I've always made tomato soup is sauteing some veggies, adding canned tomatoes, and letting that cook in a pot for however long you want. But this tomato soup uses fresh roasted tomatoes - no cans here. GET OUT OF HERE, CANS! The difference in flavor is ...
