Concoctions from the kitchen of a Mississippi writer.
I haven’t done a Thoughtless Thursday post in a while. Frankly, I just don’t use my crock pot as much in the summer except for routine things like batch cooking beans or making chicken stock. But our grocery store overbought on baby b (read full article)
I admit it. I’m a sucker for trying out new and random spice blends. Always on the hunt for a new flavor. I found this mapuche spice by Merken at a local closeout store. According to the site “Merken since centuries, has been the C (read full article)
I”m getting back on the diet wagon…again. Consequently, I’m craving veggies. Since I’ve been under the weather, I have some fresh veggies that were on their way out, so soup was the ideal solution. Along with 3/4ths of a (read full article)
I’ve been eating fairly heavily lately, so I was craving something veggie-laden and healthy. My usual tomato soup wasn’t quite what I was in the mood for, so I opted for a roasted vegetable soup. It’s loaded with different veggi (read full article)
I fully intended to make these with spinach, but when it got down to it, I couldn’t actually FIND the spinach. I suspect it took a wrong turn at Anchorage and disappeared into the nether regions of my freezer. But these are still chock full (read full article)
Please excuse this week’s absence. Our internet has been going in and out all week, which has made it difficult to post. I actually had planned on giving you a recipe for slow cooker cassoulet, but it was a total bust, so my last minute pinch (read full article)
It’s coming in late, but it’s still Thursday! This was a last minute inspiration after making a grocery run for ingredients for something else entirely. I had these two poblano peppers that I was going to turn into some kind of enchil (read full article)
I apologize for my lengthy absence. I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it before, but my husband broke his leg, so things have been a bit chaotic at home. He’s doing much better now, so I’m HOPING to get back to a regular (read full article)
I was in the mood for some variation of a beef stew, and this totally fit the bill. It was easy, filling and with four servings at 292 calories and 6.5 grams of fat, very healthy. I served it with herb and cheddar beer bread muffins. Ingred (read full article)
The latest product I’ve had the opportunity to try via the Tastemakers program at Foodbuzz is Kikomann’s new Ponzu citrus seasoned dressing & sauce in Lime. It smelled amazing the moment I opened the bottle and I decided to give it (read full article)
I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word “chalupa”, I think Taco Bell. I’ve never actually had a chalupa from Taco Bell, but I have vague memories of commercials that involved some kind of flat bread or shell or some (read full article)
On my recent trip to Kansas City, my pal Christine introduced me to Penzey’s Spices. It was love at first sniff. An entire store devoted to spices. Ugh. Heaven. One of my acquisitions on this trip was Adobo Spice. Now this is not re (read full article)
I’ve been on the search for a new veggie soup that’s not my usual tomato or roasted red pepper. Butternut squash seemed to be the ticket. I keep trying to find a way to eat it that I like (as my butternut squash oven fries didn’ (read full article)
This one’s been on my To Try list for several months now. Someone tweeted it ages back, and I bookmarked it on Delicious. I made a few adaptations to the recipe based on what I had on hand and changed it over to a crock pot recipe (which cu (read full article)
Several months ago, I threw together an Italian themed potato soup that was fabulous. And at 406 calories and 16 grams of fat per serving, it wasn’t bad at all on the nutrition scale. But I decided to try my hand at lightening it up a bit m (read full article)

I know I made a beef barley porcini soup recently (and it was lovely), but hubby and I were in the mood for something light and savory (that didn’t necessitate the 800th run to the grocery store). This more classic beef barley soup was exactl (read full article)
Since I’m still playing catch up, I decided to do a quick round up of crock pot recipes I’ve featured here that work well for office parties. By far the number one favorite is Taco Soup. I even got this recipe from an office party years (read full article)
A cold front is passing through and that’s got me craving soup. Because we are in an anti poultry mood post Thanksgiving, I opted for a beef based soup. Ordinarily I would use beef stock for this soup, but as I was out and I really hate coo (read full article)
We went camping over the weekend. We were supposed to have campfire burgers Friday night but wound up getting off so late that we just picked up fast food on the way down to Desoto State Park, which meant that when we got home, we had that pound of (read full article)
