It is April here in South Carolina. And that means the weather has been warming up nicely since February. But occasionally we still have a chilly day or two and that was certainly the case this year right before Easter. When the weather gets chilly whether it’s spring, fall, or winter, there is nothing that warms me up quite like a fresh pot of soup. And this cheesy smoked sausage and potato soup is my latest creation. Of course, I have made a lot of different soup recipes over the years. But I was wanting to try something a bit…

I’m always looking for budget-friendly, low-spoon ideas for dinner. That’s why I love making a chicken leg quarter for dinner. I can always find them reasonably priced, they taste amazing when baked, and they don’t require a lot of energy to make. One thing that I don’t like, however, is always having to cook them in the oven. Living in South Carolina, I do everything I can to not turn the oven on during the summer months! It’s just too hot to even think of my oven adding heat to my kitchen. Especially when the temperature hits triple digits. And…

I am a big fan of soups and stews when it’s chilly outside. Nothing warms me up quite as well. And since the nights have been cooler I have been drawn to fixing more soups.

It wasn’t an ingredient that my Mom used either, so I had just never really been exposed to a lot of dishes that included lentils. But I’ve been pushing…

I know so many empaths and highly sensitive people who struggle with food intolerances, allergies, and sensitivities. It really can stink to struggle with bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues because our bodies struggle after eating certain foods. And I’m speaking from experience! Grains, dairy, and even sugar can cause major imbalances. For me, I recognized that if I eat a lot of grains it impacts my blood sugar levels and just makes me super tired and bloated. I created this chicken cauliflower fried rice recipe as an option for those who wish to skip conventional rice. I enjoy…

Eating whole, healthy foods doesn’t mean that you have to spend hours and hours in the kitchen. And using the crockpot is the perfect way to ensure that you can have a healthy meal without slaving over a hot oven all day. I particularly love using the slow cooker for a recipe like this whole chicken! It means that I can make an easy healthy meal without heating my kitchen during the summer months. Living in South Carolina being able to do that is huge for me! I avoid using my oven whenever possible. My house is only 1100 sq…
