I love quick and easy and during the year I love to make a meal of soup and salad. I’ve wanted to make this Tuscan sausage soup for two for a while because it is not only simple to make but really tasty as well. Since I became single again myself I have really wanted to create a whole lot more recipes that are perfect for one or two people. A lot of times I make the recipes for two so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day. I love to pair this with a Greek Salad for…
There are times when you need a side dish that is simple and quick to prepare. Hashbrowns are definitely one of those easy side dishes. I’m kinda surprised that people opt to buy the frozen variety so often because they are actually very easy to make, and with no chemical additives in the homemade kind, they are much healthier for you, too! When I first created this recipe, doing hashbrowns on the stovetop or in the oven was your only choice. Of course, now more people are also doing them in the air fryer. I have not quite jumped on…
Ketchup has to be the most popular condiment out there. But most store-bought versions are full of high fructose corn syrup or refined sugar….which I really try to avoid when possible! And it is used for so many different things and in so many different recipes, that it was really important for me to do clean homemade ketchup. What would a burger or French fries be without it? They just wouldn’t be the same! One of my favorite recipes that calls for it is my Mom’s meatloaf recipe. It is used in the topping. So yummy! This recipe is really…
I was really craving Sloppy Joes today and so decided to make some….whole food style! My family always loved making Sloppy Joes when we would get together on the weekend. They are pretty simple to make and taste amazing. And it’s easy to pair them with some chips or homemade potato salad for an easy meal. And when getting the whole family together, easy is always a good goal! I got a recipe that my brother and sister-in-law have been using for a while and really love. And I tweaked it so that it is as whole food as you…
I really love to go to Mexican restaurants and nibble on the warm basket of tortilla chips that they bring to the table, don’t you? But nowadays, instead of going out for some Mexican food all of the time, I often choose to make healthy versions at home instead! But I didn’t want to overlook my favorite tortilla chips, because they are just so yummy. This recipe is super simple and very tasty too! These were actually created on a night that I had a craving for tortilla chips but no chips! I did however have some extra tortillas and…
I have several very yummy recipes that I’ve really wanted to convert to real food recipes. But one problem that I encountered was that some of my favorites contain onion soup mix. I was surprised at just how many casseroles call for it! So I picked up a package of onion soup mix when I was at the store and read the ingredients…..Yikes! I just couldn’t buy the soup mix with all of those toxic additives! Sugar, caramel coloring, MSG, corn syrup, and more. Living more simply means getting rid of a lot of the junk that’s just not necessary…
