Hey all! I’m waiting for my salad maker to finish prepping before dinner (I made an attempt to “Healthy Twist”-ify pulled pork again, and I think the meat still going to be dry but at least we have Mitch’s amazing homemade BBQ sauce to compensate) so I thought I’d show you some highlights from last [...]

100% Homemade Chicken Soup via Crock Pot
Who makes soup when the weather is really warm and lovely out?
Oh, I do. But we knew that. This time I did something new though…I made the stock! But, first, backing up…
Over the weekend, we went to a small Passover Seder (yes, I know, we’re early. We don’t like to conform) and as I mentioned, [...]
Black Bean Chipotle Soup
I think my two favorite things to cook are stir fries and soup. (Mmmm…fries….oh wait. Never mind). I love them because they are easy, relatively quick to pull together, and are so adaptable. Plus there’s the potential for lots of leftovers and the ability to basically throw whatever you have in the kitchen together for [...]
Crock-Pot Mulligatawny Soup
Super-cool news at the bottom of this post!! Well, cool for me, anyway.
I had big plans to do lots of Christmas shopping today. Go ahead….ask me how much I got done. I did buy 1 1/2 presents online…so that’s something, right?
I was really lazy today, and honestly, it was nice. Except for the fact that [...]
A Foodie/Fitness Fan’s Library List
Hey everyone! I’ve been working really hard on my freelance job this week and I have a bit of writer’s block right now. I’m taking tomorrow off work (well, off my “day job”) because I want to do some deep-cleaning in the condo and I know said cleaning won’t happen over the weekend. Anyway, hopefully [...]
Pre-Vacation Soup Making
By the time you read this, I’ll be in Palm Springs! I’m hoping the trip is a really nice mix of activity (between the golf course, tennis court, pool, and gym), relaxation, and fun foods/drinks. Mitch’s dad and his wife are being so gracious in treating us to this lovely (and I might add, NEEDED) [...]
Fiesta Vegetable Soup, Ribs Optional
As I’ve stated before, I love making soups in my crock pot. I also love Mexican food (living less than an hour from Mexico will do that to a person) so I decided to give a “Latin” spin on my usual vegetable soup. By adding spices typical to Mexican cuisine (or Americanized Mexican, whatever), I [...]
Barbecue on St. Patty’s Day?
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Honestly, I don’t really care much about “drinking” holidays (let’s be honest, that’s what they are) like St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo. I’d rather go out when the prices aren’t jacked up and there aren’t crazy lines everywhere you try to go. Mitch is Irish and I don’t even [...]
Homemade Soup, Stay-at-Home Day
It’s rainy and chilly in San Diego today (they’ve been promising rain for awhile and it looks like it’s finally here). Since I LOVE soup in all weather (90 degrees out? Soup, please) and especially when it’s cold, I decided to make a big batch of soup that I can enjoy all week. I love [...]
