After blogging for over four years you would think I would have shared with you all my family favorite, tried and true recipes. But I guess a few of them have slipped through the cracks. Like today’s recipe. I have shared a crock pot version of tortilla soup but not this version. Actually I had [...]

If I had to pick a favorite soup, it would be tomato soup. It’s my favorite canned soup and my favorite homemade soup. A few weeks ago I was out of town and our wonderful neighbors invited Jim over for dinner and to watch a baseball game. (Way to go Cardinals!) He was in [...]

Over the last 20 years I have probably made 25 or more business trips to Minnesota. I think each time I have gone I have enjoyed a bowl of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. It is a Minnesota kind of soup. I’m not sure why but Minnesota makes the best Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. [...]

Today’s recipe is a dinner suggestion. Try this…. when it does this…. Yes, Portland had a snowstorm this week (a snowstorm being defined as one inch of snow on the ground) It canceled school for the day although by noon the snow was pretty much gone so Tessa and I had some fun at Target [...]

I love tomato soup. I have loved tomato soup since I was a kid. I think one of my favorite lunches or dinners growing up was tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich – wasn’t it yours too? Hands down, tomato soup always won out over chicken noodle or any other soup. Of course there [...]

Because Halloween and trick or treating usually involve rain where I live I always like to send my children off with a tummy filled with nice warm homemade soup. The soup can be made ahead or earlier in the day. I don’t have anyone young enough to trick or treat anymore but we still carry on [...]
