Chicken Rice Soup (Soupa Avgolemono)

November 21st, 2019Tina0 Comments

This soup is a nostalgic one for me because my mom used to make it all the time when I was a kid (and she still makes her own version). My mom’s recipe for chicken soup goes something like “add a little bit of this and a lot of that.” Her soup is delicious, but I like to follow a recipe that has exact measurements. So I turned to the internet to try to find one that resembled my mom’s. That’s a tall order but it turns out that I was successful with this recipe. While this is called “chicken …

Taco Soup

If you’re wondering what taco soup is, then you’re not alone because I had the same question. A few weeks ago my husband found this recipe online and he said “we should try this because it looks good.” It’s not often that he suggests a recipe to try and I’m always looking for new ones so I happily agreed. But I wondered what taco soup was. When I gathered the ingredients together I told my husband that it looked like we were making chili. It has all the makings for, wait for it, chili. Beef and beans, yup, sounds like …

Cauliflower Tacos

Do you like tacos? I’m guessing the answer is yes because who doesn’t. No, seriously, if you don’t like tacos then I… Mind blown. I think tacos are a favorite because they are delicious (duh). But really, it’s because you can make them however you like. Load them up with ingredients that you love. If you don’t like avocado, then skip it (shout out to my mom since I know that she isn’t a fan). These tacos are vegetarian and are all about the cauliflower. They may not look pretty but I had to take a picture of them before …

A Guide to Quebec City, Canada

October 30th, 2019Tina0 Comments

A couple of weeks ago my husband and I vacationed in Canada. We spent 7 days visiting Montreal and Quebec City in Quebec. Since we had so much fun stuff to share with you, I split it up into two parts. If you missed Part 1, click here, where I shared all about our adventures in Montreal. Today I’m sharing where we stayed, what we did, and what we ate in Quebec City. This is our 4th visit (so obviously we love it there). I blogged about our last visit in 2016. Click here to check it out. FYI, the hotel from our 2016 …

A Guide to Montreal, Canada

October 24th, 2019Tina0 Comments

Hi guys! We recently came back from vacation and we had a wonderful time while we were healthy (more to come on that later). We went to Montreal and Quebec City in Quebec, Canada. I have so much to share with you so I’m going to split it up into two posts. (So stay tuned for part 2.) We started our adventure in Burlington, VT because it’s a good place to stop to break up the drive to Montreal. We’ve been to Burlington bunches of times, sometimes as the ultimate destination because we love it so much there. The foliage …
