Beef Vegetable and Barley Soup

A week ago, I was grilling out and wearing sandals. Today, I’m making soup and wearing gloves when I walk my dogs. I don’t mind much – such is April in Ohio. It’s a soup day and I had plenty of ingredients for soup. Since joining WeightWatchers a week ago, one thing I have an […]

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons Today is a gift. I normally don’t get days like this where I have the whole day to myself. In fact, I’m still in my pajamas! I’ve been spending the day tapping into my creative spirit and that spirit works best in pajamas. It’s a day to celebrate summer […]

Chicken Rice Soup

Somebody save me! HE has a COLD! Men having colds is one of the mysteries of life. Why is it that men completely fall apart over a little cold? He coughs until the rafters shake and blows his nose to the point where the dogs are howling. Why-oh-why is it like this? We are in […]

Chicken Tortilla Soup

TortillaSoup1 (1 of 1) I’ve been making a lot of soups lately. Because it’s Fall and the season just beckons a hot bowl of deliciousness… Because we’ve been way too busy and it’s easy to prepare and have ready when we hit the door… Because I’ve been taking more meals out to my Mom and […]

Sausage Tortellini Soup

This is one of my favorite recipes and I can not believe it’s taken me this long to share it with you! It’s a hearty soup bursting with flavor and easy to make! This recipe came across my path many, many years ago from my single days. A group of my single friends would take […]

Chicken Vegetable Soup

New Year. New Day. Clean slate. Right? I’ve been cleaning for days – the tree is down. Presents are put away….and I’m attacking the frig. As Hubby left this morning, I shouted out – “Expect healthy tonight!” not knowing what I was going to make. I knew as soon as I opened the frig and […]

Cheddar Corn Chowder

We are in the height of corn season here. We can’t get enough of it – or so my Hubby thinks! Every time I send him to the farmer’s market for corn – he comes home with the twice the amount I ask for! “Honey, we need six ears of corn.” He comes home with […]

Wedding Soup

The term “wedding soup” is a mistranslation of the Italian language, minestra maritata (“married soup”), which is a reference to the fact that green vegetables and meat go well together. I have had the best intentions of following a recipe I found on the Food Network Magazine. Then the recipe started taking a path of its own, […]

Stuffed Pepper Soup

I typically cook for both of our parents at least once a week – although these days, it’s been more often as they age and a simple task like cooking is impossible. It’s a perfect storm as I always have food leftover after my blog posts to share. They do have their favorites and remind […]

Cauliflower Cheddar Soup

With the temperatures being what they are… It’s officially the end of the season…and my gig with Graf Grower’s cooking demonstrations ends Saturday. I’ll be featuring “late summer/early fall” vegetables including cauliflower. Cauliflower is so misunderstood. It’s white and boring… With a little nurturing, it can burst into a dish spectacular! I’ve roasted cauliflower… and made cauliflower […]
