I originally made this Broccoli and Cheese Soup recipe for my blog over 2 years ago. Yikes! Boy does time fly! I have been going through my recipe archives lately and some of them are have serious need for updating. While the recipes are great the photos are blahhh. I have come a long way in my photography, but I still have lots more to learn.
We have been so spoiled here in Dallas with a very mild winter. And then just like that it’s freezing cold, with ice and snow.
I know, I know I should not be complaining (my Northeast friends will agree), but it is true, you do get “soft” when you are not used to cold weather. I am freezing!!! So what do you do when you are freezing? You make chowder! Continue reading Cauliflower Chowder
I’m sure by now you have all figured out that I love to make foods in a muffin pan. They look so darned cute and usually, and I use that term loosely, helps me with portion control. Umm, let’s just say these hash browns got totally out of portion control! I could not stop eating them!
So who’s ready for spring??? This girl right here is! Although we have had a pretty mild winter here in Dallas and I should not complain, but I miss the flowers and most of all my vegetable garden. Which I just reminded myself that I need to do some research on gardening in this new to me climate. I think I can start planting in March! Yippee!
A few months ago I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of The Paleo Kitchen written by George Bryant and Juli Bauer. I was so excited to get in my tiny apartment kitchen and try out these amazing recipes! I have made many of their recipes in the past so I new it was going to be an awesome cookbook. Well then life got in the way, we bought a house and needed to move quickly.
So this gorgeous cookbook was packed away. I finally got the house unpacked and was so excited when I finally found this treasure packed away in a box.
The Paleo Kitchen starts with tips on getting started on the paleo diet, then transitions into a list of seasonal list of fruits and veggies which certainly helps keeping the grocery budget in check. Then they move onto panty essentials and kitchen tools to make your life easier in the kitchen. They also discuss how to cook smarter and proper food storage. I think this is great resource for the beginner cook who may be completely overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
Now onto the recipes! I’m not sure where to start! Everything looks and sounds amaaaazing. My first recipe was the Cinnamon Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread.

If you have been following my blog you know we have been busy house hunting. Well… We found the perfect house. It has pretty much everything we were looking for and a cute little yard with pool too. EEEK I am so excited! I have always wanted a pool!
I am also super excited to have a great place to entertain. Continue reading Asparagus Avocado Tomato Salad
We have been house hunting like crazy here in the DFW area. The houses are selling like hot cakes! Just when we think we found “the one” it is under contract… It’s so frustrating! So house hunting has become a full time job for me. I am a woman on a mission to find the perfect home! Wish me luck 🙂
Now onto the spinach orzo… Since we have been house hunting day and night I needed quick and easy dinners. This spinach orzo it exactly that! It seriously takes 10 minutes to make.
