INSTANT POT MEXICAN MEATBALL AND BARLEY SOUP
Have you ever fallen into a soup rut? I have. I’m guilty of making the same old soups over and over again in part because my tried and true soups are pretty darn delicious but also because I’m familiar with the recipes and very little creativity is necessary. The soup I’m about to share with… Continue reading INSTANT POT MEXICAN MEATBALL AND BARLEY SOUP

CROCK-POT WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
I spent many years of my life as a poultratarian–you know, someone who forsakes all other meats in favor of poultry. During that phase, I was strictly limited when it came dinner time. One of my go-to’s was white chicken chili. Since then, I’ve graduated ever so slightly to including limited non-poultry meats into my… Continue reading CROCK-POT WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
Broccoli cheddar soup with potatoes
Saying so might make some of you want to stone me, but I’m just the teensiest bit jealous of all of you who are facing winter weather.

There is today–here in southern Arizona–the promise of our first fall’ish day: a high of only 80 degrees and rain! Fall being my favorite of the seasons, I’m admittedly giddy. We can count on high temps in the mid to upper eighties throughout October, but evenings bring with them a definite crispness in the air–totally… Continue reading Homemade chicken stock
Chilled mango soup
Soups are one of my favorite menu items to serve when busy weeknights necessitate a quick dinner. But when you live in the desert, something about a steamy bowl of soup just doesn’t cut it during the scorching summer months. Using one of the menu items from Disney’s cruise ships as inspiration, I recently served… Continue reading Chilled mango soup
Slow cooker black bean soup
Confession: I strongly dislike baseball season. It’s not the sport itself that I have a problem with. It’s the fact that I have two young children who play on two different teams and–between the two of them–I would guesstimate that 93% of our family time is spent on one baseball field or another. And when… Continue reading Slow cooker black bean soup
Turkey & chicken sausage 3-bean tequila chili
We had a most mild winter here in the desert. Since having moved here in 2004, we’ve gotten snow at least one day each winter (which is plenty thankyouverymuch), with the exception of this season. I’m really not complaining; cold is not my thing. In fact, there are only three things I like about winter:… Continue reading Turkey & chicken sausage 3-bean tequila chili
