I Love Chicken Corn Soup

I Love Chicken Corn Soup

Chicken Corn Soup is a Pennsylvania Dutch invention. If I had to choose a favorite soup my mom makes, it would be a dead tie between Chicken Corn and Beef Vegetable. Traditionally, Chicken Corn Soup has small dumplings boiled in it that my mom calls “rivels,” but I’ve never perfected the rivel, and now try… Continue Reading

I love Crockpot Black Bean Soup

I love Crockpot Black Bean Soup

I think a training session and license should be required before being allowed to use an immersion blender. However, I have inadvertently served this without blending it and it is still fabulous! Just like last week’s lentil soup, this is from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker, (with the amount of cayenne reduced) so you can… Continue Reading

I Love Chili Con Carne

I Love Chili Con Carne

Last weekend I knew my husband was REALLY looking forward to the Green Bay Packers playing the Chicago Bears, so I decided to make one of his favorite eat-in-front-of-Sunday-football meals:  chili. This can be a one-bowl dinner, though there are so many sides and snacks that go with chili that it is hard to resist… Continue Reading

I Love Cheeseburger Soup

I Love Cheeseburger Soup

In one of my earlier posts, I mentioned that I generally avoid cream-based soups. This one has no cream but is cheesy and definitely has more fat than most soups I make. I think it is worth it when you want a filling meal in one bowl or a winter lunch when you are entertaining.… Continue Reading

I Love Split Pea Soup

I Love Split Pea Soup

One of my favorite go-to soups in the winter is Split Pea. I know the mossy hue can be scary, but we should all seek the color green in our diet. Split Pea is easy, filling, healthy (lots of fiber – consider yourself warned!), can be vegetarian if you prefer, freezes well, and is inexpensive.… Continue Reading

I Love Beef Vegetable Soup

I Love Beef Vegetable Soup

Soup is my favorite winter food, and I’ve learned that a bowl of brothy goodness is also easy on the waistline if you avoid noodles, cream bases, and sides of cheese and crackers. One of my top ten homemade soups is Beef Vegetable because that is my mom’s bestest ever. There is no comparison between… Continue Reading

Providing a Teen Hangout

Providing a Teen Hangout

One of my goals as a parent was to have a home where kids wanted to hang out. My own parents are very nice people, but the house I was raised in was kind of formal, and my fears of something getting broken — not to mention my goody-two-shoes attitude, gag — discouraged me from… Continue Reading

Things I’m Thankful For

Things I’m Thankful For

As we approach Thanksgiving — the holiday that is now lost between Halloween and Christmas — I thought I’d make a list of seven things I am thankful for. (Earlier this fall I made a football etiquette list that stopped at seven, so I’m sticking with that plan. And yes, I know that I have… Continue Reading
