Butternut Squash Soup

Tina0 Comments

Yup, it’s definitely soup season in our home. It’s getting cold out and I’m craving warm comfort foods. A couple of weeks ago my husband and I made our favorite split pea soup. It’s a staple every fall/winter. Last weekend I wanted to try something new. I’ve been wanting to try a butternut squash soup, but have you seen how many different recipes are out there? I usually get overwhelmed with the options so I give up, but not this time. I finally made this butternut squash soup and it came out absolutely delicious. It’s got great flavor (thank you, …

Lemon Yogurt Chicken

Tina0 Comments

What are you making for dinner tonight? This inquiring mind wants to know. It’s gotten cooler out and the leaves are falling so we are in full Autumn mode. That means bring on the chili and soups. My husband and I made our favorite chili last week. I think we might make a batch of split pea soup this week, which is another one of our Fall favorite meals. While that’s all delicious, sometimes I’m in the mood for something a little bit lighter like this chicken. It’s marinated in yogurt, lemon, and oregano sauce. Funnily enough you don’t taste …

Spinach and Rice

Can green colored food look appetizing? Maybe it’s a food blogger’s dilemma. I’m always looking for side dish recipes, especially ones that aren’t high maintenance. I’ll spend time on prepping the main part of the dinner or the dessert ( 😉 ) but by the time I get to the side dishes I have no time to spare. So let’s just say that the side dishes always get the short end of the stick in my kitchen. While this spinach and rice dish might not look like much in photos, I think it could be the recipe that you reach …

Tortellini Salad

Tina0 Comments

Happy October! Even though we’re entering into stew and soup season, I wanted to share a salad recipe. I figure there’s plenty of time for soups and stews. This is the kind of salad that you can make 365 days a year because the ingredients are available all year long. (If you can’t find basil then you can use other fresh herbs that are available.) This is easy and fast to whip up and it’s a great make ahead meal. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year and I have lots of things on my to do list. …

Little Cheddar Cheese Bread

Tina0 Comments

How cute is this little cheddar cheese bread? This is a quick bread so when I say “bread” I mean a savory cake. This is really the only kind of bread I make because yeast scares me (and I’ve got a wonderful and talented husband who makes all sorts of it, so I don’t really need to). If you like cheese and bread then this is your dream. It’s loaded with cheddar and Parmesan cheese. It’s the kind of bread that will go well with almost anything, like salads, soups, chili… you get the idea. Look at those wonderful pockets …
