It feels a bit like a stretch to call this a chili honestly – but it is quite good. It is also wildly easy and that is why I’ll probably make this again and again. We were expecting some snow earlier this week. I found this recipe on SkinnyTaste and was drawn to the fact…
I haven’t stopped talking about how good this chili / soup is. It is so good that I even bought more lentils at Whole Foods yesterday. That should be a clear testament to the gold star status. Each year for Christmas my sister and I make new recipes for my grandfather as presents. In the…
It’s been awhile since I’ve made a soup. At one point it felt like it was the only thing I whipped up in my kitchen. There are 45 soup recipes on this website but, they started to all feel like the same thing. Chop carrots. Chop onion. Chop celery. It has been enough time that…
I treasure a nice, flavorful soup. In 2019, my goal is to make some soups that don’t include tomatoes – it feels like I’m always pulling out two cans of diced tomatoes. That being said, there is something irresistible about a good, flavor filled tomato soup. And that is this one. I found the recipe…
When I first moved into my new house, I brought with me 11 cans of diced tomatoes. It was nuts. Thanks to my recent run of soups and stews and chilis, I have many fewer cans in my inventory. In the near future I might have to add “diced tomatoes” back to my shopping list…
It’s soup season! My life is a little different these days so I don’t necessarily need “travel friendly” meals like soup as much – but it is just so hard to fight the urge to make soup. When people say they don’t like cooking for just one person, I feel like they haven’t tried soup…
The weather today screamed for soup – and so I made ramen. Saturday was a completely gorgeous day. I checked out two trails, had a turkey sandwich picnic, and cleaned out the garden. Home run of a day. But today I woke up to gross sleet hitting the windows followed by copious amounts of rain. …
My dad loves french onion soup. He’s absolutely an onion guy. I am absolutely not an onion girl. I think it combines two of his favorite things: onions and cheese. So when I was in the kitchen and making this soup for my grandfather… and he asked me if I was making french onion soup….…
We are in the midst of a big run of freezing cold days. The weather man said that it was going to be the coldest stretch in 100 years or something like that. So it’s really cold. Despite the temperature, I took a few longer walks yesterday. The first one was at Bouve Conservation in…
It is probably a bit odd but I gave this soup as a Christmas gift to my grandfather. A gift should be something that you thoughtfully picked out just for that person. It should be influenced by your relationship …. and that’s how we get soup as a Christmas gift. My grandfather is incredibly strict…
