Vegetarian Chili

vegetarianchili

Sometimes all I need is a hot bowl of spicy chili to wash the days’ troubles away. This vegetarian chili seems to warm the soul… I kept the garnishes simple. The cool, creaminess of the Greek yogurt does not take away from the chili’s bold flavors while adding a welcome touch of tang and a [...]

Every once in a while I have a good idea. Like enlisting the Mister and Charlie to help me in the kitchen. Thankfully this kitchen is larger than the one in our old apartment, so I can handle having them in there while I cook {most of the time}. The other night, I gave them [...]

Black Bean Chipotle Chicken Chili

Nothing heats you up like a big bowl of chili this time of year! There’s something so comforting about it… This is a great chili recipe – smoky and spicy chipotles offer a controllable level of heat. If you’re like Mat and I, you’ll crank it up – we used 1/2 cup of chipotle peppers [...]

Taco Soup

I saw this on Paula’s Home Cooking and couldn’t wait to try it. It gave me an excuse to use the huge crock pot we got from his work party. Of course, I modified the original recipe to what we had on hand and pared it down for just us plus a day’s leftovers. You [...]

Lentil Soup w/ Cheesy Jalepeno Cornbread

Yum! When I woke up, I brewed coffee and started making dinner. Interesting concept. But I love getting a whiff of soup in the slow cooker every once in a while throughout the day. It’s like my version of a Febreeze noticeable! Hehe! I made a quick cheesy jalepeno cornbread to go along with it. [...]

Corn Chowder

We had this last night, and it will be my lunch today as well. It was such an easy soup to make, and helped use up some veggies we had leftover. I’ll be adding this one to my recipe flip frame. 1 cup (2 sticks) butter1 small onion, (I used 1/2 white and 1/2 red [...]
