New England Clam Chowder
We are big fans of clam chowder in my house. There’s really nothing like it, and it’s best fresh. And by ‘fresh’, I mean mostly fresh veggies but I also use some canned goods too. I don’t live near the ocean and so getting fresh clams is not really a priority–especially when the canned clams…
Four Soup Recipes for Winter
I try really hard to cook at least 4 times a week, usually more. I love to have homemade meals for my family, since it’s so much healthier and economical than eating out. So I try to stock my pantry with plenty of canned foods so I can always have something even if I’m out…

Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
It’s officially cooling down here and that means Soup’s on! I make about 90% of my soups in my crock pot. And here’s a special little story…my very own contributor, Melissa from Bless this Mess, made me some chicken noodle soup about 6 years ago. Why? Because she saw I was having a rough day….
Make the Best Caprese Salad Ever
This is one of my all-time favorite things to eat. The first time I ever even saw a caprese salad was about five years ago, in Las Vegas. My husband and I went to Wolfgang Puck’s Postrio and I was taken aback by the prices. Trying to save money, I decided to order the cheapest…
