While recently visiting Colorado, we planned a dinner of fish tacos. One of the toppings was pico de gallo, and it was so good! I don’t know how I had gone this long without it. It is a fresh, clean addition that can also be paired with tortillas, chicken, or pork. Once prepared you can […]

Chicken Kale Soup
Every week for the past couple weeks I have been roasting a chicken and then using the leftover carcass to make chicken stock. This recipe is really delicious with homemade chicken stock, but you could substitute vegetable stock and mushrooms if you are looking for a vegetarian alternative. The original recipe also didn’t call for […]
Minestrone Soup
One of my favorite things about this soup is that you can use whatever vegetables you happen to have. I have written the original recipe below, but if you don’t have one particular vegetable- don’t worry! Substitute it for something else you do have.

Red Cabbage Soup with Sausage
I made this soup a couple of days ago, and it has become one of my favorites. It is creamy and comforting, especially when it is cold outside. I used spicy Italian sausage to give the soup a little heat, but any skinless sausage will work. If you are vegetarian, oyster mushrooms would be a […]
Rutabagas in Root Vegetable Linguine
I come from a family that loves rutabagas. Maybe its the Scandinavian in us, but simply mashing the cooked root with some butter and salt makes us all very happy. But did you know there are many creative things to do with these plain-looking vegetables? Try any one of these, or use them in root […]
