I love chilly, damp spring evenings. It’s one last excuse to make a big pot of soup before the hot summer days set in. This loaded potato soup is one of the best soups I’ve had in a long time. It was creamy and so full of flavor. Just what I have been craving lately. [...]

Vintage Veggie Soup
I always call this my vintage veggie soup because it seems so 1970’s to me. I feel I should be whipping this up in my yellow kitchen with the coffee percolator going. This veggie soup is a winter staple in my house. The ingredients are super affordable and it’s a ‘throw and go’ recipe. You [...]
Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
We got a whopping 18 inches of snow yesterday. It was not my most favorite day. Until a little seven-year-old snow angel insisted on us going out and playing in it. I must say snow diving is an pretty good mood booster. There is nothing I love more than a big pot of soup on [...]
Creamy Wild Rice Soup
We had the first snow/ice storm of the winter today. It was a chilly, wet day. The perfect day for a warm bowl of soup and glass of wine. I adore creamy soups but despise the high calories that come with them. I chose to use half and half to cut down on the calories [...]
Vegetarian Chili
This classic chili is an easy and delicious weeknight dish to serve up. I love how affordable and filling this recipe is. If you are a vegetarian or just want to reduce your meat in-take this chili is perfect. It may be lacking beef but it’s not lacking in flavor. The cocoa powder, adds depth [...]

My weekend via Iphone…and a recipe
Fall is officially here! Wow. The temperature dropped so quickly. Yikes! Here is a peek at what I did this weekend! (*all photos from iphone) The weekend was filled with craft shows (selling my photos on canvas!). It was a blast and for being my first show it went pretty well. Then the temperatures [...]
Potato Dijon Soup
I’m obssessed with soup, in case you hadn’t noticed. It seriously makes my heart skip a beat. It makes me weak in the knees like no other. I’m sure I’ve told you all this. Last weekend it was rainy and nasty out. It put me in funk. I wanted to get cozy on the [...]
Cabbage Beef Soup
The tempatures have been incredibly brisk here in VA. We woke up to a startling 4 degrees yesterday. Not fun! I’m not fond of cool tempatures but I will embrace any reason to pull out my cozy blanket and soup pot. Jonathans mom served this delicious soup for dinner last night. It was [...]
