This flavorful stovetop meal is packed with juicy proteins- sausage, chicken, and two types of seafood- swimming in a thick broth that I can drink on its own. A portion of rice or potato salad, yes, potato salad, is the only accompaniment you need here. Do crackers and tabasco also work? Yes. But that’s a personal preference….

Roasted Tomato-Basil Bisque- Quick & Easy
It’s is currently thirty-nine degrees in Central Texas. I feel like one of those insects that’s been frozen alive. Nothing makes sense and I’m watching the world pass me by because I’m frozen stiff.

Sausage & Potato Stew with Kale
I don’t pretend to be an expert on Tuscan cuisine. Truly, the only requirement for labeled “Tuscan”, in my opinion, is that it needs to be rustic, comforting, and filling. Thus, this Sausage & Potato Stew with Kale is nicknamed my Tuscan Sausage & Potato stew. Gather Your Ingredients The best part about this stew-…
Butternut Bisque with Apple and Sage
I’m a fat, lazy bum. The amount of food I indulged in during the holidays was sinful. Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy every single bit of it, but now I’m just…blah. I’m totally resolving to eat healthier this year…or, this week. Or, definitely, at least today. A vegetarian Butternut Squash and Apple Bisque…

Oh. My. God….I was on my deathbed last week! I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and all of that! Turns out, I just had an upper respiratory infection, and the light I saw? It was my son shining his flashlight into my face because I had taken Nyquil and he thought…
Butternut Stew with Sausage, Kale, and Farro
I’m the type of friend who you have to send frequent reminders to if you want me to do something. Like a “staple it to my head” type of reminder. It’s not that I don’t care- I just have severe short-term memory issues. My friend Risha asked me for a recipe using farro a looong…
Rustic Guinness Beef Stew for St. Paddy’s Dinner
I’m not going to harp on the obvious elephant in the room. Just note that if you happen to see my hands in these images, you’ll only see ONE of them. Because the other is still in dispose. A “rustic” recipe was a must this week because of that fact. I still look like a T-Rex while I’m typing…
Soul-Warming Bone Broth Recipe
I am not a hippie. I just want to put that out there prior to writing the rest of this recipe. I thoroughly enjoy shopping for clothing that is obscenely priced- even though I’m obscenely broke. I love eating fatty, rich foods- preferably those which are encrusted in carb-heavy products and deep fried in its own fat….
Curried Pumpkin Soup
Why am I making a curried pumpkin soup in the 90° heat of a Central Texas November? Y’all! My ovens are broken. Ovensssssssssssss. Plural. BOTH ovens. Bof’ of ’em. I’m hot (unlike my ovens); that means I’m really, really, angry. There’s a backstory to the ovens, well all of the appliances, in this house that is a little…
