We eat a lot of vegetarian meals in our little home. We love almost every kind of vegetable and fruit and you can usually find lots of fresh produce in our fridge. We don’t have anything against meat, I just always forget to thaw it out ahead of time. And it is probably healthier, too….

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…
Jalapeno Jack Potato Soup
Reader, have you ever read The Tale of Desperaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread by Kate DiCamillo? It is my favorite book. It is such a quaint, clever, and profound little book. I have read it three times and it doesn’t get old to…
Fried Okra
Okra? Yes, okra. Have you ever had it? Many people don’t like it, but I love it! It is a green pod that looks like this: It has little white pods inside that are quite slimy. I don’t mind the gooey-ness. The goo is actually a source of usable fiber! If you sprinkle a little…
Spicy Baked Potatoes

Avocado Ice Cream
Right now you are probably really intrigued or really grossed out by the thought of avocado ice cream. I was intrigued. I thought it might be yummy, in a weird way. It was easy to make and the color is an amazing brilliant green and the texture is very smooth and creamy. I personally didn’t…
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
This soup was delicious and really easy to make. It only makes enough for about 2 or 3 people, depending on how much you eat. If you are cooking for a larger amount of people, double it. Ingredients: 1 medium bunch of broccoli, coarsely chopped (4 cups) 5 tsp. cornstarch 1-1/2 C. milk 1 C….
