I have about 4 different versions of tortilla soup that I make and this is the go-to quick version. My mom actually came up with it. This is how it evolved. When we were home visited in March she decided to make tortilla soup for dinner. She was out running errands late in the afternoon…

Easy Black Bean Burgers
“Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart…” Sorry, I can’t not think of that song when talking about beans. I don’t eat a ton of veggie burgers, but I do really like them. Like I’ve said time and time again, I am always trying to make stuff from scratch to cut down on unnecessary preservatives,…
Pesto Parmesan Turkey Burger & Meal Planning Monday!
If you think that turkey burgers are dry and have no flavor, I am here to prove you wrong.

I love adding in different ingredients and textures to make the burger more flavorful and…

I’ve been wanting to post this recipe since before Christmas and somehow it got buried in my ever growing pile of recipes. This meal is so simple yet satisfying. Gnocchi is the best when you want dinner on the table in a snap. The stuff cooks in just a few minutes- DREAM! This is a…
Quick Fix Dinner: Creamy Tomato Soup
If you would’ve asked me if I liked tomato soup before I made this soup for the first time I would have said “no, blech, yuck”. I am pretty sure the only tomato soup I had eaten back in the day was the canned version (when I was younger and as a result almost scared…
