Who doesn’t love their slow cooker?  Just put in all of the ingredients in the morning and let it cook all day.  And it makes the house smell good!  I wanted to eat this soup for lunch – but knew it wasn’t ready til dinner.

We’ve always got a lot of use from our slow cooker.  But usually by April we’ve traded it out for the grill.
…..BUT it was 35 this morning when we woke up!  So, soup was back on the menu. Chicken Enchilada Soup.  Continue reading “Chicken Enchilada Soup”

This recipe for broccoli, cheese and rice soup is so good.  It’s a comfort food for these cool Spring days we are having right now.

We eat a lot of homemade soups during Fall and Winter.  By this time of year I would like to have moved most of the dinner meals outside to the grill.  But it seems to be VERY slow to warm up this year.  In fact it sleeted and snowed here yesterday.  I’m kind of over Winter…..

We’ve recently been doing Meatless Monday.

Yeah, I know it’s a catchy phrase (actually it is an international health initiative encouraging people to go meatless one day a week) and is being used more and more lately, but we decided to get on the movement and give it a try.

Most of the inspiration to do so came from my daughter-in-law.  She recommended that we watch a documentary on Netflix about plant-based diets and the benefits. ‘Game Changers‘ is about eating only a plant-based diet and the effects it has on your lifestyle.  It is interesting but upon further search (Google) I read where it is a biased documentary with misleading information.  Personally, this doesn’t affect our household of two – we like our meat and have no intention of turning into vegetarians or vegans!

Turkey Chili

Spicy turkey chili made with home-canned tomatoes

We change our chili recipe up around our house quite a bit.

Most of the time there is not a recipe, we just add what sounds good and use ingredients we have on hand.

Paul was always the chili cook until more recently.  I wasn’t working and he was working full time and it just made sense for me to do the cooking.

Recently, since he retired he made ‘his’ chili.  It was good as always but he kept asking me what ingredients he had used years ago.  There again, no recipe. Continue reading “Turkey Chili”
