I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did. My husband and I had 3 other couples over for Thanksgiving Dinner and it was delicious! I know everyone is gearing up for Christmas, now. I know there will be another round sweets and feasting before the New Year detox, but I can’t help but…

White Bean Kale Soup
My husband loves vegetables. He has never met a vegetable he didn’t like. Sadly, I have. I like most veggies, but I’m not a fan of eggplant. It makes my mouth tingle and itch. (Does that mean I’m allergic to it? I don’t know.) I am picky about my tomatoes, celery, and onions. They have…
Katniss’s Favorite Lamb Stew with Dried Plums from the Hunger Games
Right now, a huge part of America (and maybe world) is not-so-patiently awaiting Friday March 23, 2012. The Hunger Games movie is coming out!!!! Click here to see the trailer. I read all the books very quickly when they came out and I quite enjoyed the first two (we wont talk about the third one)….
Chocolate Chipotle Chili
If you read my previous post, you will know that I competed in a chocolate and chili cook off as a church activity. Every one brought either a chocolate treat or a chili. I brought one of each. Although, I kind of colored out side of the lines and threw a little chocolate into my…
Chickpea Veggie Soup with Smoked Paprika (GIVEAWAY!!!)
I know most foodie bloggers are posting super bowl recipes right now, but most super bowl recipes are heavy, fatty, and greasy. When you think “game day”, don’t you think chicken wings, burgers, chips, soda? I do too, but this year I am still going strong with my new year’s resolutions, believe it or not….
Enchilada Soup
I grew up in the frozen tundra of Sugar City, Idaho. It is COLD there. It is FREEZING! It wouldn’t be so bad, except that the wind is bitter and is almost always blowing. Even just a half hour away is so much warmer. The other day when I was visiting, it was one of…

Asparagus Soup
When I was in third grade, I was a member of a “detective’s club”. It consisted of my best friend Chantelle, a boy named Matt, and me. We didn’t really do anything, except wander around the playground and write information down about different things we noticed. “It looks like so and so has a crush…
Masoor Daal
Another Indian recipe! Hooray! This soup is great. It is hearty, healthy, and easy to make. Daal is an Indian lentil soup. A lentil is a legume similar to a bean, but they are smaller and don’t take as long to cook. They are more like a split pea. They come in different varieties and…
Italian Sausage Crockpot Soup
Yup, another soup recipe! I am just really loving soup right now. And this one is pretty easy. It is in a crock pot so you can just leave it. The thing I love about crockpot meals is that they fill your whole house up with yummy smells of yummy food. My family came and…
