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 […]

Jambalaya!

Oh Baby! It was hot and spicy here this weekend as I made Val’s husband’s recipe for Jambalaya. Jambalaya originated in the Caribbean Islands. The Spanish culture mixed with the native foods created what is known as Jambalaya. Jambalaya is traditionally made in three parts, with meats and vegetables, and is completed by adding stock and rice. It […]

Whiskey Glazed Corned Beef

I’m sliding right under the wire on this one! St. Paddy’s Day is not over yet…I just have to share this recipe. It’s not mine. I found it on the Internet and kept losing the recipe. So today I’m writing about so I don’t lose the recipe again! It is such a delicious way to […]

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 […]

Beef Stew

Hello Fall! I’m so ready for you…apples, pumpkins, soups and stews! We just returned from a vacation in Las Vegas where the temperatures were in the 90’s and the only green we saw was money being thrown on the tables. Coming home, I welcomed the cool, crisp nights and the beginnings of the beautiful colors […]

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

This recipe is killer! I made this for my little party this weekend and the guests went wild! It’s perfect for a party in that it is so easy to prepare ahead – in fact, if it could sit for a day – even better for the flavors to come out in full force. And […]

Coconut Curry Soup

I’m so out of sorts. It’s the middle of  March and it’s 78 degrees out. I go to my closet full of sweaters and struggle to find something to wear. It all started with the time change, it took me a week to get back in rhythm and then there was St. Patty’s Day…it took […]

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Whoa. Making stuffed cabbages is a big deal for me. In fact, EATING stuffed cabbages is even a bigger deal. When I was growing up, it seemed like we had stuffed cabbages ALL the time! This was a typical Sunday in our house… We would all go to church in the morning… After church, we’d […]

Sweet and Sour Brisket

I have been so good this January! I’ve been drinking green smoothies, upped my daily veggie count, allowing one day for vegetarian only meals and exercising. But sometimes you just need a big hunk of meat! I’m about to share with you my most requested recipe. I make it every time we have a crowd […]
