Spiced Pumpkin Lentil Soup

Posted on February 13, 2017 | 6 comments

Today we are going to talk about soup. I despised soup as a young adult. Afterall, it came out of a can. When I started to make my own homemade soups, I realized that canned soup did not compare at all in flavor and texture. Homemade soup is a really easy meal to make as well. I enjoy eating soups over fall and winter the most because they help to warm you up. This spiced pumpkin lentil soup is especially warming and filling. Continue reading →

Wild Rice and Vegetable Soup

Posted on February 5, 2017 | 6 comments

I love to make soup out of whatever I might happen to already have on hand. If you have a good broth and a few veggies, you can certainly come up with a dinner worthy meal. In this soup, I used the last of my wild rice. Wild rice is a wonderful grain; it’s chewy and adds great color. In this wild rice and vegetable soup I used what I had on hand for vegetables including onion, celery, carrot, and spinach. Continue reading →

Bean Barley and Mushroom Stew

Posted on January 20, 2017 | 2 comments

Barley is one of my favorite grains to cook with during the winter. For a grain, it has comfort food written all over it. I especially love it in a warm bowl of soup or stew. When it cooks in a dish like this bean barley and mushroom stew, the starches released make a creamy, silky texture that helps to thicken the stew and make it more luxurious without adding cream.

Super Fast Vegetarian White Chili

Posted on December 20, 2016 | Leave a comment

The first time I had white chili, I was being a judge in a chili cook off. I was in love from first bite! White chili doesn’t have the typical flavors of chili that use things like chili powder. Instead the green chili flavor is strong, which I love. This super fast vegetarian white chili recipe is quicker to make than most chili recipes. This recipe uses store bought salsa, making it really fast to throw together, which is always a plus! Continue reading →

Rhubarb Tagine

Posted on June 1, 2016 | 6 comments

Rhubarb is one of my spring-time favorites. It is most often used in desserts, but that tangy flavor goes well into so many other things! I don’t make that many desserts either, so I have to get creative to find ways to enjoy rhubarb. Rhubarb and dates combine to make a rhubarb tagine that is both tangy and fruity! Continue reading →

African Peanut Stew with Kale

Posted on February 4, 2016 | Leave a comment

When I first came across the idea of peanut stew, I did not like the sounds of it. Peanuts will get soggy when they’re stewed, and that texture might be weird. They are great made into butter, however. The creamy butter from the peanuts is the star in this dish, not stewed peanuts. Don’t be afraid! Continue reading →

Chowder is the perfect soup for cold days. We haven’t seen too much of winter here in southern Illinois yet, but the temperatures dropped this week, and it was time for chowder! It’s creamy and filling and warming. It will practically consume you with all of its comforting goodness. Spoonful after spoonful. Ready for chowder yet?
