No Heartburn Beef Chili is tomato based with only 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the whole mix. It's perfect for folks not in the mood for their meal to talk back to them. It's also very mild, good for kids or those who don't care for spicy foods. This recipe was inspired by my friend and fellow food blogger, Kitchen Girl Jo at The Adventures of Kitchen Girl. She made a delicious Chicken Chili... More...

Another rockin' soup from my favorite Italian cookbook. A total bowl of comfort full of creamy northern beans, big pasta, tangy roma tomatoes and yummy smoked bacon in between, oh! and carrots. I am SO GLAD I made a big pot of this soup! Of course, I didn't follow the original recipe, EXACTLY. I used canola oil, instead of olive oil. I didn't have pancetta, but I had hickory smoked bacon. I... More...

This has got to be the SIMPLEST black bean soup in the world! The secret to this soup is buying the right canned tomatoes to season the beans. Around here, Charlie and I are addicted to Food Club's Diced Tomatoes with Chipotle Peppers. If you live around a Brookshire Brothers, you can pick up a can for 59 cents. Let me tell ya, this particular flavor of canned tomatoes makes the best salsa you'll... More...

Butternut squash, chicken, kidney beans, red bell pepper, tomatoes and corn make up this simple hearty stew. This recipe is similar to the Butternut Squash Chili recipe I posted last January. Only this time, I added a couple of roasted chicken breast I had stored in the freezer, a red bell pepper, and made it with half beef broth and half chicken broth. I don't know if that sounds strange to you,... More...

A friend and I were discussing how to recreate my chicken chili recipe to serve a crowd and still keep the same flavors. She said sometimes when preparing large batches of food, say for cook off competitions, the ingredients don't measure out the same nor do you get the same flavor as the small batch recipe produces. So I felt up to the challenge of remaking my original REAL Chicken Chili to serve... More...

DO NOT PASS UP THIS SOUP RECIPE! If you enjoy the flavors of zucchini and broccoli, then you must make this soup for yourself. Even if you're the only one in your family that will it eat, make it anyway. I've been looking at this recipe for quite some time now. Always ending with the thought, "I'm the only one who'd eat this one." So the other day, I had two large zucchini and a few sprigs... More...

Saturday, I drove into Dallas with my girlfriend to spend 2 hours in our favorite foodie mart. I had a blast stickin' my nose in the spice jars and exploring new aromas. I came home with a GREAT assortment of dried herbs and spices without breaking the bank. It's amazing how inexpensive spices really are when you're not having to buy the bottle every time. One of my favorite spices is New Mexico... More...

This soup was born from the leftovers of the frig and freezer. Meals like these can be the best we ever make for our families. It took no time at all to toss together, aside from defrosting the extra beans I had stored in the freezer. I think what made this soup SOOO Good, was the fact that I used my Simple Spicy Salsa. It's made with Food Club's Diced Tomatoes with Chipotle Peppers and cilantro... More...
