French Onion Soup

I’m a NUT when it comes to soup. Not only because I really do love making different kinds of soup but because my family really likes to eat it. Now that it’s getting colder outside, heating up the oven + stove for some comforting goodness seems even more appropriate. That, and nothing really helps fill the soul like a really good home-cooked soup…lots of love + delicious ingredients. This weekend, I whipped up a favorite for my hubbs – French Onion...

National Coffee Day 2014

I mean, she’s very honest with her opinions. And I just love hearing...

Meatless Monday – Sort Of

I’ve started my version of Meatless Monday with my family. In other words, we don’t eat the meat of walking creatures. We will gobble up fish, but mostly the meal will consist of veggies. I was able to sneak this day into the week, and hubs didn’t notice. He wasn’t aware until last night. But he didn’t flinch. My meat and potatoes man didn’t take a second look at the fact that we weren’t having, well, meat and potatoes. With consistently...
