Garden Harvest Cheese Soup Recipe

Kristen — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 14:21:04 +0000

A Cheese Soup Recipe made perfect for the transition between summer and fall with the addition of fresh garden vegetables and Cabot Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese.

I love this time of year…when the last of the summer heat starts to fade away and the cooler temps make an appearance every now and then, giving us a taste of what’s soon to come. You all know I adore summer, but as soon as school is back in session, I’m ready to move on to days of open windows, flannel shirts and light, cozy blankets. There’s just something about fall that makes me really happy….

Spicy Black Bean Soup (3 WW SmartPoints® Recipe)

Kristen — Fri, 10 Nov 2017 23:08:58 +0000

Spicy Black Bean Soup is a simple yet filling soup recipe with only 3 Weight Watchers SmartPoints® per serving.

Oh, what a week. We had our heating and cooling company come on Monday to do our annual winter furnace tune up. That all went fine and well until Monday night, when we realized our furnace had stopped working. Assuming it was an easy fix, we called the heating and cooling company and they came back out on Tuesday. Still not working. They replaced our furnace on Wednesday because our furnace was 13 years old. So, $3300 later and a new furnace and guess what…still not working. It’s now Friday and they have been out every day this week for hours and hours trying to figure out what’s going on. Meanwhile, the temps have been in the 20’s, and you know how I feel about cold… I am NOT a fan. …

Hearty Ham and Swiss Soup Recipe

A delicious Ham and Swiss sandwich goes soup style, with this Hearty Ham and Swiss soup recipe featuring Bush’s Organic Variety Kidney Beans.

I’m slowly giving into the fact that it’s no longer summer. The weather in Kansas has been so wishy washy…75 one day, 30 another. I’ve been holding onto those 75 degree days with all my might, but they have been slowly disappearing, giving way to gray skies and colder temperatures. I think we saw our last warm day for awhile at the beginning of this week.

With the cold weather comes the return to comfort food…those dishes that aren’t so popular in the hotter days of summer resurface for the season. My attempt to hold onto summer sometimes shows up in what I make for comfort food. For example, we have Ham and Swiss sandwiches all the time in the summer so to “winterize” that favorite, I like to make a Ham and Swiss soup. This is one of my absolute favorite “hearty” soups to make, for good reason. The flavors blend together so nicely and it really is one of those soups that warms you up from the inside out….

The Call for Comfort: Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe

Kristen — Mon, 14 Nov 2016 03:29:11 +0000

Chicken Gnocchi Soup is a hearty, filling soup, perfect for warming you up from the inside out.

Wow…what a week, huh? In fact, I bubbled myself up as much as possible, shut down Facebook, and reached out to friends in person to chat. I feel like Facebook and even Twitter to some extent tends to feed that inner anxious girl in me, and I just can’t handle it sometimes. Getting out into the real world and having real life, civil conversations with people who agree and even don’t agree with you can really do wonders. It’s amazing what can happen when we really listen to each other. Give it a try..it’ll make you feel better, I promise!

With that being said, if you, dear reader, need a safe place to turn, please reach out to me. I think the only thing worse than turning to social media during this time is letting your thoughts and feelings stew inside. I’m happy to lend an ear and hopefully give you solace. Consider this my safety pin. …

Minestrone Soup Recipe

Sit down to a warm and comforting Vegetable Minestrone Soup Recipe featuring Bertoli® Gold Label Sauces.

One of the places on my travel bucket list is Italy…

In fact, I don’t have a huge desire for a lot of international travel, but Italy is one place I truly can’t wait to visit. The vineyards, villas, cafes, food and overall Italian lifestyle has always intrigued me. In my mind I picture Italy as being more laid back, less hustle and bustle than here. The Italian culture seems to be one where you appreciate…savor…indulge in just the right ways…and enjoy life through all your senses. In the busy season of life I’m in right now, the Italian lifestyle sounds like a welcome escape.

I won’t be going to Italy anytime soon, unfortunately, but I can practice the art of the Italian lifestyle right here in my own home through preparing simple food with fresh, flavorful ingredients (like this minestrone soup recipe), celebrating family and friends, and enjoying leisurely time with loved ones. In other words…

Beans for Luck? {Recipe: Bean and Cheese Soup}

Kristen — Tue, 31 Dec 2013 22:46:40 +0000

This recipe is sponsored by Bush’s Beans.

I know it is black eyed peas that are supposed to bring you good luck in the new year if you eat them, but I just can’t seem to get into that. I’ve never been the biggest fan of black eyed peas (love the band, not so much the food). So each year on the New Year, I choose to pretend beans, like kidney beans or black beans, have the same kind of “luck” power. And as luck would have it, there are some really tasty recipes out there featuring one of my favorite foods… beans!

Healthiness {Recipe: Healthy 2 Bean Kale Soup}

You can tell by the different soup recipes I’ve posted on Dine & Dish throughout the years that I turn to soup for comfort. My mentality has always been the creamier, the heartier, the cheesier, the better! Why waste time and calories on a “healthy” soup? Surely they don’t taste as good as a big, steaming bowl of, let’s say, baked potato soup?

Then I met Sarah Jenks and started going through the Live More Weigh Less Mastery program, and began to really understand my not so great relationship with food. I’m discovering that the decisions I make every day with some of my less than stellar food choices are going to be really hard habits to break. But, I’m working on it…and with the artillery of information Sarah is sharing, I’m really starting to break through some life long barriers and am changing my relationship with food. Which brings me to this Healthy 2 Bean Kale Soup recipe….

When you lose a friend or family member to cancer, you tend to step back and take inventory of how you live your life. Every product you use, every bit of food you eat gets scrutinized just a little more closely. You begin to wonder if there are things you, personally, can do to lessen your risk of cancer coming into your life again. You pay closer attention to companies supporting cancer research. You follow key messaging and hope…hope and pray… that a cure is on the way so no one ever has to face this horrible disease again.
