This butternut squash soup is great for your weekly meal prep! My Mom gave me three butternut squashes probably three weeks ago. They rolled around the back of my car for almost that whole time, until I cleaned out my car and found them – thanks Mom! Butternut squash is a hearty vegetable! Roasting this butternut squash is my favorite way to use it. That,...
I love soup. Like all kinds of soup. I do consider soup to be a meal – especially this Tuscan White Bean Soup – its got beans, its thickened with butternut squash and potatoes, and it even has sun dried tomato chicken sausage meatballs – winning! This is my take on Ribollita – which is a white bean soup that’s traditionally thickened with bread –...
I’m sure that I’ve done this before, but I mixed a teaspoon of Better N Peanut Butter with 1/4 cup of sugar free pancake syrup and poured it over my pumpkin waffle sammie – game changer! Just that subtle peanuty taste was perfect with the pumpkin waffle – and I got some flak for putting Everything But The Bagel Seasoning over top, but it’s the...
I am confident I never even tried butternut squash before I started blogging. Back in the day, there was something called “BSI” which stood for Blogger Secret Ingredient. The “host” was new each week, but they would pick an ingredient, and you had to make a dish, and that person who hosted picked a winner of all the recipes submitted, then would pick another host. ...

It’s funny because some people are still wearing UGG boots, while others are wearing sundresses. I already knew yesterday was going to be busy because I left so much stuff on my desk on Friday afternoon –...
I have to give a shout out to Jacob (now my son-in-law!) on his 26th birthday! I’ve loved having you and Hannah as roommates these last three years – looking forward to our dinner out tonight! I did a whole meal plan this week and I have set myself up for success. I don’t think I could ever get sick of avocado/egg toast – I...
At long last I am finally posting Jacob’s Chicken Lime Soup – or what we call affectionately call it – Jacob’s Zesty Soup. Jacob is a cook much like Tony was – he just throw ingredients together, tastes as he goes and adjusts accordingly. In order to get an actual recipe, Hannah wrote down what Jacob did, when he did it, so while there are...
I had a loss last week! -.6, but I’ll take it. Um, maybe there was some leftover wine from the celebration memorial for Jacob’s grandma, and maybe I had wine a couple nights last week. I am totally fine with it – while the scale is moving slower, today I am wearing a pair of pants that Hannah gave me for Christmas that I couldn’t...
