It's going to be a hot one here today. We're almost going to reach 100 degrees. That's unheard of for this time of year. We should be watching the leaves change colors while cozied up under a chunky-knit sweater. I should be able to sip hot cocoa outside on my porch wrapped up in a… Continue reading Black Bean and Turkey Soup

Sweet Potato Chowder
Anyone else noticing the meteoric rise of the sweet potato? What was once relegated to holiday meals only, has now become a cult favorite online. People are using sweet potatoes in ways never seen before. They are substituting their more starchy cousin for everything from potato salad to fries. Sweet potatoes have also been speaking… Continue reading Sweet Potato Chowder
Pesto Grilled Cheese
I'm writing this through itchy, watery eyes right now. My fall allergies are out of control. The ragweed and grass pollen in the air in Oklahoma is extremely high, irritating my eyes and nostrils. It probably doesn't help that we've had the windows open for days. I refuse to turn the A/C back on at… Continue reading Pesto Grilled Cheese
Poblano Corn Chowder
I'm all in when it comes to soup making weather. Right now, my third soup of the season is sitting in my fridge. I've stocked up on canned tomatoes and beans, fresh potatoes and onions. There's a zillion different soup combinations out there just waiting for me to try. I didn't think I could find… Continue reading Poblano Corn Chowder
Meatball & Tortellini Soup
Happy first day of fall, y'all! It's officially, unequivocally soup weather! It's also pumpkin spice, hot apple cider, pie & squash weather.

I love everything about fall… Continue reading Meatball & Tortellini Soup

I've constantly got those gears churning in my head in the kitchen, trying to decide what to make with the haphazard ingredients… Continue reading Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
Creamy Meatball Soup
I can count on one hand the "winter-like" days we've had so far this year. It's been relatively mild compared to past winters. We've lucked out and had many weekends of 60 degree weather. The grass has even started to turn green here; mistakenly thinking it's spring already. Once the Bradford pear trees that line… Continue reading Creamy Meatball Soup
Buffalo Chicken Chili
1.4 billion. That's how many chicken wings Americans will consumer today before, during, and after the Super Bowl. It's the single biggest wing occasion in the U.S. If you didn't place an order with a wing place weeks ago, you're S.O.L. today if you want wings. If you're making them yourself, I salute you. Wings… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Chili
Portuguese Caldo Verde
One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast when I was a kid was Eggo waffles with peanut butter and syrup. I would slather the peanut butter on the golden, crispy waffles so it filled almost every hole. You'd get a mouthful or peanut butter in every bite that way. Drizzle a bunch of… Continue reading Portuguese Caldo Verde

I've got salads, dinners, soups and snacks. All of the recipes are just waiting on me to post them so the world can see. Once… Continue reading Zesty Winter Pork Stew
