This soup is scrumptious and I cannot wait for you to try it. I came to create this soup because I wanted to make the soup, Zuppo Toscano, that is from Olive Garden. My co-worker and I went to enjoy the unending soup and salad promotion they generally offer in January and February – once…
Chili, Soup, & Stew
Hamburger Helper Soup
Y’all know me pretty well by now and you are aware that I have learned to enjoy cooking but I love a good shortcut unless it is the weekend. This is a weeknight soup for those cold rainy nights – like we are having this evening. It takes no time at all and a big…
Beer Cheese Soup with Meatballs
This is the closest I get to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day these days. Mr. Picky Eater “can’t stand” the smell of cabbage cooking so corned beef and cabbage is out. But this is a nice substitute even though the cheese if from Wisconsin, the Beer from Mexico and the “meatballs” are from Germany! Interestingly, even…
Meat Lovers French Onion Soup
I think y’all know how picky my husband is and honestly, he ate this only because he couldn’t find anything else in the house at the time. It’s supposed to rain Wednesday so this would be a perfect thing to make but it takes a L-O-N-G time so it’s more of a My-Day-Off-From-Work thing to…
Tomato Soup for Rocket
This is going to be a little different because while I am making Tomato Soup, it is solely for Rocket. He will be 10 months old in a few days. During his first few months, he was in the bottom 3% in weight for his age group. He was eating but extremely active. AND, his…
Warm Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup
It’s been so cold here. Weather that we are not used to and only appreciate for a short time, to be sure! Yesterday Mr. Picky Eater requested chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight. I didn’t mind because it’s pretty easy and doesn’t take very long at all. I grabbed some chicken breasts from the freezer…
Deer (Venison) and Duck Gumbo & It’s My Birthday!!
It’s my birthday; it’s my birthday, Happy Birthday to me! One year ago, I decided it was finally time for me to learn to cook. I was turning 50 in 366 days and surely during that time I could quasi-master the art of boiling water! Many of you have followed along during this journey and…
Rootin’ Tootin’ Two-Day Chili
It’s finally feeling like fall here in Central Oklahoma. In fact, it’s pretty chilly today and Saturday – also known as game day in Norman – is forecast to be almost cold! OU is playing down in Lubbock Texas but we (and I mean the entire family) will be watching on the TV and eating…
Guest Post: Curried Sweet Potato-Apple Soup
Dear friends: I’m still slugging away at this diet! It’s been 14 days today and I have lost a great amount of weight but I will be glad when tomorrow comes and I can add some more calories into my meals! I’ve been reading all your blogs and I’ve got a list of tasty things…
A Head Country Sunday Night Supper
As I have told you before, supper is a big deal in the South most weeks. I decided to make ribs with some more of that Head Country rub that I told you about. You can find it here: http://www.headcountry.com/catalog/10 . A 6 oz. bottle of it is $3.50, so it is very cost effective….
