I was going to make split pea soup with the ham bone from Easter. The only obstacle with this is only 3 of the 7 people that I would serve it to actually like it. Some of us would eat it but it’s not our first or even second choice. I would have had to pick up the split peas and I have tried to … Continue reading Red Lentil Soup
It is definitely soup season around here, I think they were predicting our first frost. That’s crazy for middle of September but not unheard of. It was 39’F yesterday morning and I did start to close or at least lower most of the windows we had open. I haven’t made this one is a while but It will be on the menu today. I am … Continue reading Sausage Spinach Tortellini soup
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
It is definitely soup weather, woke up to fresh snow and still below freezing. Hoping to go out and get the family Christmas tree sometime this morning. I was off this week and did manage to get some of the decorations out. I really want to get some of the outside done but it’s too nice and warm inside to venture out. I could have … Continue reading Carrot Ginger Soup
You may have probably used, tossed or froze your ham bone from Easter. If you still have it around I made a split pea soup that my husband said he would pay money for. That’s a pretty good compliment. I love all kinds of soup but I am not sure if I have ever made a split pea. I used to always give my ham … Continue reading Split Pea Soup – using hambone

Everyone is doing well; she is a healthy beautiful little girl and I am so excited for the new parents and all the adventures they will have. It is super sweet to see my son who is a pretty big guy holding his tiny little daughter, melts my … Continue reading Cabbage and Sausage soup
I try to write about a variety of recipes that I make since I cook and bake fairly often but I wanted to share another yummy soup recipe with you all. Soup and Chili are on the menu today as well but I am making one I already shared with you so next week will not be a soup recipe, I hope. Every so often … Continue reading Cheese Ham and Potato soup
I was looking for an older recipe I wrote about before for today’s blog. Reason being is I didn’t really make anything note worthy this past week. For our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we went to the Azores and while we liked everything except for the sausage, it was SO smoky and the texture was not to my liking. So this recipe Portuguese recipe popped up … Continue reading Portuguese Braised Pork Shoulder and Clams
Last weekend I made up for the lack of spending time in the kitchen. I almost made too many things if that is possible. We had leftovers all week long which for us is not a bad thing. I know so many people that do not like leftovers. I wonder why that is. Do they make things that don’t reheat well? What they ate … Continue reading Portuguese Braised Pork and Clams
Soup is my jam period – I mentioned quite a while ago my dream of opening a soup joint or something along those lines. I also share quite a few soup recipes on this blog and I am pretty sure I will continue to do so. Every time I make a soup that makes me smile, and no not all of them do, I have failed … Continue reading Sausage, spinach, tomato tortellini soup
