husband approved steak and beer chili

The beauty of this chili is that it can be cooked either on the stove, for those evenings or days when you are home and have time to allow the chili to simmer for a couple of hours, or in the crock pot when you don’t have that kind of time.

simple chili con carne

This time of year is when I start craving chili. Nothing like a bowl of chili to add warmth and comfort to your cold days or nights. What I really love is adding fritos, cheese, red-onions, sour-cream, and cilantro to my chili. Having spent my summers with my Dad while growing-up, I was brought up…

california tortilla soup

Pomi tomatoes, from Italy, aren’t just for use in Italian food. I used a box of Pomi chopped tomatoes for a Mexican Tortilla Soup and it was delicious. I prefer to use Pomi tomatoes over canned tomatoes, because they contain 100% natural ingredients (oh yes, they are organic!) and are sealed in a BPA-free, stay-fresh…

And honestly, my…

fennel + carrot soup

So far this winter, I’ve been cooking up a lot of soup. During the hotter months I’m a “juicer” but during colder months I’m finding that I’m a “souper” (is that even a word?). When cooked with whole organic ingredients, soup can be filled with nutrients. Not only does soup warm you up, but it…

Recently, I went to Texas to visit my father’s side of the family. While there I questioned my Aunts and Uncles about our Native American heritage. I wanted to…

italian minestrone

 I make this soup when one of my family members are sick, or for a light but comforting dinner. Use leftover chicken with carcass intact, or do what I do….purchase a whole roasted chicken from the market. The rind from the Parmesan cheese cooks into the soup, adding a slightly sharp nutty flavor, and your…

Sometimes, I want only a bowl of soup along with warm crusty bread for dinner. This happened to be one of those nights. So tonight, I decided to cook this turkey and kale soup, which I adapted from Giada Delaurentiis’ Turkey, Kale and Brown Rice Soup. Instead of using wild rice, I tried multigrain pasta…
