European Style Veggie Soup seemed like a tasty edition to my “soft diet”. My body was trying to heal from a bout of diverticulitis yet it was also begging for some vegetables and nutrients. A soft diet is challenging at best when it comes to incorporating nutrients. Seriously one can only eat so many bowls […]
I promised a soup recipe before the Nutri Ninja giveaway ends. If you haven’t signed up yet it’s not too late. Do it right HERE! There are 5 days left to enter and the winner will be randomly drawn on Friday December 11, 2015. I’ve found this blender so useful in my kitchen. It juices, […]
I have finally settled into my new home and more importantly my new office. I have missed blogging something fierce and hope to jump in with both feet this week and knock out some stuff I’ve been storing in my head! I posed a question on my FB page asking what you might want to see […]
I recently traveled to Rhode Island and New Hampshire for a week of fun with a girlfriend. We ate, drank, shopped, skied, drank more, watched chick flicks, ate more, shopped more and slept enough. It was a great time for me. My adoring hubby on the other hand suffered the effects of eating out most […]
I am determined to get this posted before January turns into February. By the skin of my teeth I bring you In My Kitchen, hosted by Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial. I’ve enjoyed participating over the last couple of months and especially peeking into the kitchens of my fellow bloggers. If you’ve not […]
Finally December 20th and it’s downright chilly in Texas. Yesterday it was 78* and last night a fierce wind shuttled in a cold front dropping temps to the low 30’s and highs in the 40’s*. It feels like Christmas!
My house is filled with the aroma of smoked something……. I found myself with a smoked turkey carcass with which to make some homemade broth. I decided to add a “Bouquet Garni” to the mirepoix to add some flavor other than the smokey one. My bouquet consisted of fresh Italian parsley, fresh thyme, bay […]
“Wow, I am so happy to back at my desk, punching the keyboard and visiting with you! I trust you all had a warm and thankful holiday last week, complete with too much food, friends and family gathered ’round and maybe a football game or two. The Orange Bee kitchen was abuzz with long time […]
I concluded that with today being Leap Day in this Leap Year I should take full advantage of it and write one last post featuring “soup”. Ah, yes soup month has come to an end. Today’s soup is a Moroccan Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup. Somewhat of a departure for me as I have never […]
The end of “soup month” is fast approaching. We’ve taken pleasure in dining on soup so much this month. The weather brought several polar-like days and those hot, steamy, comforting bowls of soup warmed us through and through. I doubt that any bowl of flavorsome broth warmed us more than this spicy Ancho Pork and […]
