Soup is for me what mac ‘n cheese is for my kids – ultimate comfort. If my husband would allow I’d fix soup every evening during the fall and winter months. It just feels like the perfectly cozy meal I need to cap off the cool days. If you’re a soup lover like me, you’re …
There’s something about fall that makes me hungry. Maybe as I’m starting to throw some chunky sweaters on, I’m getting ready to indulge in my favorite comfort foods. Hey, these chunky sweaters hide my muffin top, so I can get away with it, right? 😉 To balance out the richer foods that magically appear at …
In cooler weather I LOVE making anything in my crock pot. It becomes my best friend. I make all sorts of soups, stews, and chili. One of my absolute favorite dishes that my mom makes is stuffed cabbage. Mmm…cabbage, meat, rice, onions and a bit of salt…it must be the Polish in me. Well last …

I’ve attempted to implement Meatless Mondays around here: both to save money and give our digestive systems a break from processing meat. It’s been met with mixed reviews, especially from my husband, but I’m happy to say I’ve found a few winner recipes. Most of the winners are thanks to black beans since they’re so …
Once upon a time I was low on grocery money and high on random pantry ingredients and fridge leftovers. Often times this will result in breakfast for dinner or a mix and match meal. But, one night, the magic must have flew into my kitchen because something truly wonderful occurred. It’s called Cast Iron Enchilada …
