simple recipes, easy clean-up
Little buds of green grass are finally starting to peek through the barren ground and pretty soon fields of gorgeous flowers will be in full bloom. The sun is shining longer and longer each day, producing tiny beams of warmth on our faces as we finally emerge from what seemed like the longest winter ever. All of this can only mean one thing… Spring is here! After being huddled up all winter with sweatpants and cozy slippers, I am ready {Read More}
I wish I could say that I get up bright and early every morning to pack my husband a filling and healthy lunch for his long day at work, but I don’t. It’s not because I don’t want to, I just can’t seem to drag myself out of bed before the sun rises to throw two pieces of bread together with whatever ingredients I can find through my groggy and sleepy eyes. I don’t know how he can get up {Read More}
Whether it’s 37 degrees outside, or 110 degrees, I am always up for a bowl of tomato soup. Not just regular ‘ol tomato soup, but a more grown up version with loads of deep flavors. This Creamy Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Soup is a spin-off of a bakery near my house and also closely resembles that of Paradise Bakery’s Fire Roasted Tomato Soup. You know I am a huge HUGE fan of Gourmet Garden, so it was a no {Read More}
I went to school at The University of Houston, and I truly miss the goodness of southern cookin. Then I got a craving for some Gumbo and it just had to happen. I found this very fun recipe in a Better Homes and Garden magazine from last summer, and it totally hit the spot. If you’re not familiar with Gumbo, it is a thicker soup full of vegetables and spices. It has to contain okra, which, before I moved to {Read More}
I am totally in love with curry right now. This Curry Beef Stew is a mix between a hearty beef stew and a creamy, slightly sweet, and just a tad-bit spicy soup. It’s served best over some hot jasmine rice. It’s the perfect way to warm up on a cold winter night. This creamy curry beef stew is actually light and healthy! It’s full of veggies and lean beef, and a great way to keep on track. I’m usually a grilled steak {Read More}
This is seriously one of my favorite go-to salads. Fresh endive, and romaine hearts are chopped up and thrown together with crumbly blue cheese, tangy pomegranates, and toasted pine nuts. Toss it together with a good drizzle of creamy Caesar dressing and it will knock you silly. Trust me. It works. If you squeeze all of this into a pita pocket it’s the perfect salad to go. The endive and romaine hearts work perfectly together to give this salad texture {Read More}
With all this glutenous food I’ve been indulging in here at Disneyland, and all the walking we’ve been doing, I am ready for a nice, big, hot bowl of creamy soup. Luckily for me, Dara from Cookin’ Canuck is always on top of healthy recipes that are jam packed full of flavor, and this Broccoli & Cheddar Soup is no exception. I’m so happy to introduce you to Dara, you’re gonna love her. Promise. Over the past months, I’ve had {Read More}
With those breezy cool days turning into crisp cold nights, there’s nothing that satisfies more than soup for the soul.

Be sure to include yourself in this list {Read More}
Quick side note- Last night I was on LIVE radio with Heather from Basil Momma on her show Around the Kitchen Sink! She was kind enough to invite me to tell all her listeners about this little series of Summer Lunch Recipes 4 Kids! I had a blast, and if you really want to hear it, you can listen to it here. {don’t judge, I was nervous} Ok…back to the food… I have yet another great blogger here to guest {Read More}
Want to know a secret? Come close. Closer… Lean in… This creamy soup contains no cream, milk, or butter. Shh!! They’ll never know! That’s because the cauliflower does all the work {ok, you do all the real work} at making this soup beyond creamy and oh-so satisfying. It’s the perfect way to introduce cauliflower to those picky eaters. Also a great way to sneak in some fiber. Mmmm… fiber…. With just a few simple ingredients, you can serve your family a {Read More}
