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

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
Zesty Winter Pork Stew
It's 2020 but here I am still living in 2019. Since I spent months baking and posting holiday recipes, I'm backed up about a dozen of my normal, everyday meals. 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
Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
This recipe is a throwback. It's one that I've had stashed away in a recipe box for years. It might actually be one of the first recipes I wrote down on a note card 10+ years ago. It's 2019 and I now have 4 recipe boxes full of handwritten note card recipes. I don't know… Continue reading Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder
White Lasagna Soup
My house smells so insanely good right now. There's a chili cookoff at work today, and I've got a big pot of Texas Red simmering in the oven. I toasted the spices before mixing in the wet ingredients which really made the chili & cumin smell come out. I'm not a big chili fan, but… Continue reading White Lasagna Soup
Creamy Gnocchi & Sausage Skillet
There's a chance, albeit a brief, fleeting chance...that OKC gets its FIRST SNOW today! We'll get a trace amount. It probably won't stick to the ground. But I AM LIVING FOR IT. I've been beaming ear-to-ear since Monday. The clouds haven't stopped blanketing the sky since then, and it's been cold, drizzly and dreary...but THIS… Continue reading Creamy Gnocchi & Sausage Skillet
Sausage, White Bean & Spinach Soup
A simple road trip can never be simple in my family. After two decades of traversing all over the West and Southeast with my parents, I've used a bit of that nostalgia when it comes to doing road trips with my husband. I'll plot scenic detours and edible destinations along the way. I'll research the… Continue reading Sausage, White Bean & Spinach Soup
Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
It's one of those days where I had to drag myself out of bed. I'm not feeling great, and snoozing my alarm four times didn't help matters much at all. I'm trying to get this coffee to perk me up now so I can go on about my day with a clear mind. Here's hoping… Continue reading Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
Vegetable Loaded Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
It feels like I have a short work-week this week when I really don't. I'm leaving Friday as soon as I get off work to fly to Montana and spend the holidays with my family. I keep thinking about all the things I have to do before I leave and it's making it seem like… Continue reading Vegetable Loaded Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
It has been a lazy weekend in the Welcher household. Since we had planned on being snowed in on Saturday, we had nothing in the works to get out of the house. Neither the snow nor the ice came but our plans were unwavering: stay on the couch, in our pajamas, for 24 hours or… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
