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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I love black bean soup. Let me restate that…I love GOOD black bean soup… and I’ve had many of a ‘so-so’ black bean soup in my time… Today I’m sharing with you a flavor-intense black bean soup that boasts sweetness, a little bit of heat and a smoky flavor… touched by bacon! This recipe presents […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have a quicky for you today! This is the last of the pumpkin recipes for the week. It’s a very simple recipe with subtle Southwest flavors and a hint of sweetness. This soup would make a great first course or a meal in itself with a side of crusty bread or cornbread. I’ve been […]
