Cauliflower Soup

“A simple soup is one of the best ways to show you care.” So now that it’s spring I’m starting to think ahead to the days when my favorite farmers’ markets will start to burst with the early treats of the field – greens, carrots, and berries will be the first temptations for me. On […]

Beefy Mushroom Kale Soup

My fit friend Lisa gave me a bunch of button and portobello mushrooms fresh from her family’s farm and I thought I’d make some comfort food.

Stuffed Pepper Soup

OK, OK, I know I say this a lot, my fit and hungry friends, but I think this is my new FAVORITE recipe I have EVER MADE. OMG if you like stuffed peppers and you like soup you have to give this one a try! It was super easy to throw together, it’s VERY CLEAN and HEALTHY, pretty INEXPENSIVE, and PRETTY. Oh, and did I mention it’s DELICIOUS?!

Bok Choy Chicken Soup!

So as I walked into class the other day, Anna and Sarah excitedly presented me with a very special bouquet for my birthday. It was lush and full and contained only two things… fennel and bok choy. Of course I would make this soup!

Bone Broth…or, The Key to Great Vegetable Soup!

If you want to make the very richest soup, you gotta make your own bone broth. You can use it for your weekly food prep when you make your rice and quinoa instead of plain old water, too!

1 trip to the Farmers’ Market… 6 meals?!

…plus leftovers and snacks. 😉 My true market excursions these days are limited to once-a-month. As the days grow shorter and colder, I eagerly await the first Saturday of each month as it brings a plethora of fresh treats from local farmers. With any farmers’ market it’s always fun to see what produce they will […]

Chicken Potato Soup!

On the last day of this season’s farmers’ market my favorite farmer brought an extra special treat that he hadn’t delivered the entire year – POTATOES! There were bags full of big, beautiful, lumpy, red and white tubers. I was enticed immediately. I love potatoes; they are the ultimate comfort food. My family feels the […]
