With the weather being cold dreary and a little snowy this weekend I wanted to make a cozy soup. Plus we have family here and I know my sister-in-laws love soup. I am fairly certain everyone that is here this weekend has had most of my staple soups. I wanted to do something a little different. When I went shopping I found some small premade … Continue reading Cheese Tortellini Soup
This is a any night of the week meal. Comes together quickly with minimal effort. I was pretty busy yesterday getting ready to host my granddaughters 2nd birthday party. My daughter and I blew up 120ish balloons; with a little air machines help, best $15 spent. This morning I am going to frost the cake I made. Confession, I made the cakes on Friday afternoon, … Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Bake
Please don’t be offended by the title of this recipe. It may not have all the love that a typical Paella has, or all the work of a true Paella. But this was pretty yummy and it had the feel of Paella, minus a few of the usual ingredients; I wasn’t going out to the store for mussels but that would have been a great … Continue reading Weeknight Paella
Today is definitely a soup kind of day around here and from the sounds of it most of the country. It is cold, snowy and sleet and ice expected for the rest of the day into night. I just hope we don’t lose power; though I am preparing for it to go out. My preparing is more of making sure I am showered, and the … Continue reading Chicken Gnocchi Soup
I had some chicken boneless skinless chicken thighs in the fridge I wanted to use up or they were going to have to be placed in the freezer soon. I think chicken is the protein we eat the most and sometimes I have a hard time coming up with what to do with them. Technically that’s not accurate; I just don’t know if I want … Continue reading chicken tacos – slow cooker

Today here in New Hampshire it was in the 20’s this morning, frost on the pumpkin is an understatement. Today is also the day we turn the clocks back an hour, I did not sleep in an extra hour, my internal clock isn’t so precise. And there is a crazy election on everyone’s mind. It’s going to be a rough week for all of us! … Continue reading Roasted sheet pan chicken with acorn squash and a sumac brown butter
It is apple season around here and if you have a few leftover you should check this out. A little chopping and browning and then your oven does most of the work and all in the same pan so little clean up. Sounds like a great Sunday dinner idea. Grab a large skillet and brown your pork loin on all sides. Don’t skip this part … Continue reading Roast Pork Loin with Apples

Kind of happy to see the rain today. Hoping it takes care of the ridiculous amount of pollen out there. My porch, driveway, patio and everything on them are pretty much all the same yellowish/green color and it’s disgusting. And if I have to go out and clean it all off I would be sneezing my head off. Maybe next week we can actually open … Continue reading Creamy Coconut Milk Chicken
