My oh my, how I love thee. It’s rich. creamy. decadent. And packed with succulent crab meat. This has to be one of the most satisfying and delicious soups known to man. I’m talking 15 out of 10 would make this every single day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Weird? Maybe. The best decision ever?…

Chinese Dumpling Soup
YESSSSS! It’s no secret soup is my jam. I’ll take a hug in a bowl any day. And with 2018 peeking around the corner, we all know we’re going to kick-start that 4 day-long diet/gym routine before we don’t see results and immediately revert to old habits [read: exercise = lifting 8 oz. glasses of…
Split Pea Soup with Smoked Bacon and Thyme
Honestly, I’d contemplate moving to Antarctica to justify making split pea soup year-round. Extreme? Maybe. Would Canada suffice? Probably. But I’m not taking chances here, my friends. This rich, hearty, earthy soup is pretty much what my dreams are made of. It’s soul warming. But it also presents a MAJOR conflict: do I trust my…

Creamy Lobster Bisque with Sherry and Thyme

I clearly have an incurable obsession with soup [exhibits A, B, and C +…
Slow Cooker Chicken Curry
FRIENDS! I feel like I’m on a comfort food bender and let’s just say I wouldn’t have it any other way. My pants, on the other hand, may feel slightly different — just a hunch I have — but I wouldn’t want to jump to conclusions [#spandexforlyfe]. Also, pro tip for the holidays: you don’t…
Sage and Butternut Squash Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken pot pie IS fall. Winter, too, for that matter. But definitely fall. I mean, I’d eat chicken pot pie on the 4th of July in sweltering heat because I’m actually incapable of NOT devouring chicken pot pie… i.e. having thirds for that matter. It really is the ultimate comfort food. And it reminds me of so much…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Oh. my. goodness. gracious. This recipe. It’s basically comfort heaven. Or chicken cacciatore heaven. I absolutely love chicken cacciatore, and this recipe is pretty much the exclamation point on that statement. First of all, it simmers for hours, creating this hearty, stew-like yumminess PACKED with melt-in-your-mouth chicken thighs, onions, peppers, mushrooms, herbs — just so, so…
