I Could Never Get Tired Of This Scrumptious Salad!

For the past couple of days I’ve felt like I’ve eaten enough for a whole month. I know; it’s the holidays but I have been stuffing my face with more food and candy than anyone could ever imagine. So, for the next few weeks I am only going to have salads and soups, to get back to normal again. I already started with this garlicky orange kale salad from Amy, over at She Wears Many Hats.

I have to tell you, I am so glad I came across Amy’s blog! All of her recipes are looking so delicious that it was actually hard to choose which one to try first! I’m really happy I ended up trying this one, though, because it is out of this world.

That dressing Amy came up with? Oh em gee. I am going to have it with all of my salads, from now on! The orange brings in a whole new flavor I hadn’t even thought of using in salads before. I cannot wait to try each and every one of Amy’s recipes!

Fill Your Belly With These Fantastic Flavors!

What I’m going to show you today is one of the yummiest soups I have ever made in my whole life! Trust me; I’ve tried quite a bunch of them, so I know what I’m talking about. At this time of year I basically just ditch all the salads and grilled meals and go for steaming hot bowls of happiness. And they sure make me happy!

When you can get such a delicious meal, with very little effort, it makes you want to cook the same recipe over and over again. And that’s basically what I’ve been doing these past couple of weeks! This soup is not just really yummy – it’s also pretty lean, so you don’t need to worry about your calorie intake.

With a few little tweaks you can make it taste brand new every time! Add a little bit of tomato paste, or use sausage instead of ham and no-one in your family will even realize you’ve been using the same recipe all along! Serve with homemade biscuits or dinner rolls and you’ll get a hearty meal your whole family loves.

Delish, inexpensive and lean – everything a great meal should be!

One of my earliest childhood memories is of my mother, standing by the stove, making split pea soup in a huge pot.

Family was coming over to help my father make a new wood shed, and Mom wanted to make a hearty meal for the whole bunch. Back then money was often an issue (or the lack of it), so she certainly couldn’t serve fancy steaks for ten people. However, my mother had a way of turning the most modest, inexpensive ingredients into such delicious meals that everyone was always happy to dine with us.

This recipe very much reminds me of mother’s; the way she used a ham bone to bring that juicy flavor into the soup. All the ingredients were pretty inexpensive then, and that’s what they are now, too. But I guarantee you’ll have the tastiest soup you’ve ever tried in your whole life.

If you want something extra, you can add some cream into this soup, but it certainly isn’t necessary. My father would always mix a spoonful of spicy mustard into his portion, and I wanted to sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Whatever you want to serve this with, it’s going to be amazing!

Quick Tip: Omit the celery, if you’re not a fan!

If you’re a meat and potatoes kinda girl (or guy) like myself, this is the recipe for you. Slowly roasted potatoes and sausages bake to perfection in your oven and fill your home with the aroma of home-cooked goodness. Mmm, makes my stomach growl just thinking about it.

I enjoy making this one-pot oven bake during the fall when the air is crisp, and your belly needs something hot and wholesome to warm it up. However, feel free to cook up this casserole anytime the spirit moves you. It’s flavorful, succulent, and very filling.

Some might say that this a soup for a cold, dreary day. I digress. Cauliflower and sweet potato soup makes a marvelous meal on any day. it’s hot, filling, and hits the spot when you have a growing pit in your belly. What’s even better is that almost everyone adores eating it. My kids really enjoy this recipe.

If you have a  hard time getting picky eaters to consume their veggies, you need to make this soup. Adding in the sweet potatoes is a game changer. You can still taste the cauliflower but the sweet potatoes add a lot of sweet, creamy texture to the mix. This si one of those recipes that I always keep handy, especially when i need to throw together a quick slow cooker meal.
