Panera!

by Kara on December 20, 2012

I absolutely LOVE Panera. They built one in my hometown a few years back and I was SO happy! When we moved away I was heartbroken that there wasn’t one within a 30-mile radius. It’s the perfect meet-up spot and has tons of options to suit everyone’s tastes. I love Panera when I’m pregnant because [...]

Three Bean Chicken Chili

by Kara on April 3, 2012

My husband is a college grad! I am so proud of him. The week of his finals, I took the girls down to visit family while my sister was visiting from Texas. These girls love their Auntie Linds! It’s better for Matt when we’re gone so that he can live at the library and not [...]

Leek & Potato Soup

by Kara on December 14, 2011

This soup comes together very quickly. It will definitely be making it into the regular rotation here! It’s like a deconstructed baked potato, French-style. I had never cooked with leeks before, so I read in the back of my Paris cookbook (where this recipe is from) how to wash and prepare them. From the glossary: [...]

Award-Winning Chili

by Kara on December 5, 2011

My husband would eat this chili every day if I’d let him. It’s been his birthday dinner of choice just about every year we’ve been married! It works out perfectly because he’s a November birthday, so the weather cools down and I feel like making soup. I am so proud of these pictures that I [...]

Pasta e Fagioli

by Kara on March 2, 2011

I have made this soup many, many times for this happy boy. If you’re wondering about the noodle in his hand, he was cooling it off for the baby to eat :) I found this adaptation of Olive Garden’s yummy soup a few years back from Stephanie O’Dea at Crockpot 365. 1 pound lean ground [...]

It’s a flavorful, thick, hearty, filling Italian soup. INGREDIENTS 2 slices extra-thick cut bacon, cut into dice 1 small onion, [...]

Minestrone Soup

by Kara on February 12, 2011

Matt taste testing the minestrone soup. It is SO YUMMY! Recipe via The Sisters’ Cafe – I highly recommend this one! One thing my mom pointed out when I gave the recipe to her: you don’t have to boil the pasta separately…just throw it in the soup! DUH…what would I do without my mom?!

Matt’s Favorite Chili

by Kara on February 12, 2011

Matt wanted chili for his birthday. The boy loves my chili. (It is SO easy and SO good!) My father-in-law, Marc, has been quoted as saying, “I think this is the best chili I’ve ever had.” Matt is the same way, so sweet and complimentary no matter what I make! He woke me up Friday [...]
