Savory Sweet Potato Soup

August 29, 2014 by Brielle

Oh what do you do in the summer time, when all the grass is green? Do you sit by the stream and lazily dream or...make soup?! Two rules about food that I never follow: You can only eat certain foods during specific times of the year. Seriously, … [Continue reading...]

Southwest Cilantro and Jalapeno Stew

August 16, 2014 by Brielle

Cilantro. You love it or you hate it. I love it. There is something about the smell of fresh cilantro that makes any meal more appealing. I can't even describe the flavor of it since...well...I guess it's just a flavor of it's own. It's so fun … [Continue reading...]

Roasted Red Pepper and Jalapeno Cream Soup

June 4, 2014 by Brielle

When Ben and I first got married, and for the first few years after that, I hardly ever cooked with onions or peppers. I think it's because I never really ate them growing up. I only ever remember my mom cooking with onions when she would make her … [Continue reading...]

Carrot Basil Chili with Goat Cheese

April 4, 2014 by Brielle

I absolutely love a good stew or chili. I could pretty much eat a bowl every day for lunch...if somebody else wanted to make it for me. Don't get me started on that tangent. I think my family has been a little too spoiled with unlimited service of … [Continue reading...]

My Minestrone Soup

March 29, 2014 by Brielle

It is amazing all the junk you realize you have when moving, things that you have been holding onto for years with the reoccurring thought of, "Hey, I just might use this set of grilling utensils once we buy a grill later this year." Fast forward … [Continue reading...]

Roasted Cauliflower and White Bean Soup

February 17, 2014 by Brielle

"White broccoli" as Braelyn would call it is sooooo good! Although it is still a feat to try to get her to eat raw vegetables, I can usually get her to eat steamed or cooked veggies pretty well. Two of her favorites are broccoli and … [Continue reading...]

Pork Chile Verde

January 27, 2014 by Brielle

So I know I claim to be a Texas girl through and through, which I am not denying. I already posted a southern favorite of mine with my San Antonio Stew. But, I also can't deny the Arizona spark that is growing in my heart after years of living here. … [Continue reading...]

Split Pea Soup

January 24, 2014 by Brielle

Do not bash split pea soup! Haha! Most people have either never tried split pea soup or have never tried it done right. I agree, I have seen many of split pea soups in my days that are not the most appealing in presentation or taste. In fact, I was … [Continue reading...]

Turkey Pumpkin Chili

January 22, 2014 by Brielle

So I've taken a bit of a running hiatus lately. I'm good if I get out and go 2-3 times a week. And I'm telling you, that takes every ounce of will power I have to make myself do it. Anyway, I was invited to this running group that just so happens to … [Continue reading...]

San Antonio Stew

January 21, 2014 by Brielle

Ya'll, you know Texas is where it's at! Born and raised, true and blue Texas girl here. It's true, everything is bigger and better in Texas...well except when it comes to me. Hehe! Not sure my family is the "biggest" thing to come out of Texas. One … [Continue reading...]
