Women’s Retreat Recipes This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend a women’s retreat, and not only attend, but speak for 90 minutes.  When Rose, who coordinated the event, asked me last fall if I’d be willing to do it, I didn’t hesitate.  I said yes immediately.  Did I ask how long I’d be speaking?  No.  Did I ask if there would be a...

Fideo Soup with Albondigas Two weeks ago I saw an Instagram post of this soup called Sopita de Fideo con Albondigas and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it and finally made it today.  So worth the wait!  Unfortunately this creator didn’t give exact measurements to the soup, and even though hundreds of people asked in the comments “do you have a full...

The Best Lasagna Soup Recipe I had the pleasure of meeting Brenda from A Farmgirl’s Dabble in 2013 at a beef event.  When everyone was introducing themselves, she mentioned that her lasagna soup was her most popular recipe on her website.  SHE WAS THE OG CREATOR of this recipe!  I immediately rushed over to her to let her know that I have made this soup...

Blender Tomato Soup Tomato soup is hands down my favorite soup.  This blender tomato soup is ZERO Weight Watchers points too! My late husband however, couldn’t stand it.  It was probably because he told me he had a date that told him she was preparing him an Italian dinner. My husband walked into the kitchen, and was horrified when he saw her warm up a...
