I know it doesn't look like much in the picture....but I am telling you this is one of the best soups I have ever had! The night we had it for dinner my husband (who is not a big soup eater) declared it one of his favorite meals. ... View the Post

In our house we call these "Grandma Lova Brownies." This fudge brownie recipe is named after my maternal grandma who I will introduce you to in the next podcast ;) but they are the best fudge brownies out there! And I am not kidding. I have tried so many recipes, but I always came back to Grandma Lova's recipe....and now I don't even try any more...they are the REAL DEAL. I even introduced my host family when I was a foreign exchange student in France in college and I think we made them three ... View the Post

It's going to be added to our fall recipes for sure! The recipe ... View the Post

My mother-in-law recently sent us home with a huge bowl of some of the last garden tomatoes so we put together a huge batch of garden salsa.

I LOVE blender salsa and it really is one of the simplest things to make and have on hand. It is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch! Here is the recipe that I always ... View the Post

We all are on early schedules this year....and so breakfast time can be challenging. Even most mornings my whole crew needs a grab and go breakfast and most are out the door by 7:15 am. ... View the Post
