Instant Pot Sweet Corn Chowder (Vegan, GF)

October 15, 2019 By Holly 3 Comments

Soup season is upon us friends, so let’s get cooking. I started working on this new recipe for Sweet Corn Chowder at the very end of summer. Despite temperatures in the upper 80s, every time I saw all that gorgeous corn stacked at the farmer’s market, all I could think about was crisp fall weather and comforting soup. It’s finally here and I’m certain this Instant Pot Sweet Corn Chowder recipe is about to be your family’s new weekday favorite.

Easy Slow Cooker Homemade Chicken Stock

March 12, 2019 By Lane Leave a Comment

Despite the groundhog sighting in early February, we’re still firmly in winter wonderland around here, with no sign of it letting up.  The snow is as high as we can pile it and we have so much, there isn’t a ton of room for any more.  Homemade soup tastes perfect when tired from playing outside in the snow, and lately I’ve been making a ton of delicious varieties!   The one thing they all have in common?  Easy Slow Cooker Homemade Chicken Stock!  It will blow your mind how easy this is to make, with ingredients that could really be considered “leftovers”!

Easy Brown Butter Parmesan Croutons

November 6, 2018 By Lane 9 Comments

So when I asked earlier this fall, you all told me you wanted soup.  Soup, soup, and more soup.  And I won’t lie, soup may be the most perfect fall comfort food ever (see a list of our favorites at the bottom of this post).  But y’all know me, and you know how much I like my toppings, so of course we needed to come up with more toppings for soup!  We brought you Cumin Sour Cream last week, this week we bring you Easy Brown Butter Parmesan Croutons.

Classic Butternut Squash Soup in An Instant (Pot)

October 30, 2018 By Holly 24 Comments

One of the things that I’ve come to love most about my Instant Pot is the ability to make quick soups and stews that taste like they have been simmering away all day. It’s especially great on those busy weeknights when you really need dinner on the table but you don’t have a lot of time. Recently, I’ve started to take on my favorite classic recipes and this week’s recipe is just that – a Classic Butternut Squash Soup in An Instant (Pot)!…

Instagram post 2193738719890873699_2160961149 Are you missing the journey because you’re too focused on the destination? .
. 
Reflecting on our travel last week. Justin and I always give the kids and grandparents some extra time together 😉😉 in Phoenix and head down to Tucson to relax by ourselves.  We hike, and dine, and lounge by the pool drinking wine and just basically reconnect 🥂. .
.
And although there is shorter way home via the highway, we always choose the backroads to get back to Phoenix-the path less traveled.  And we always marvel at the beauty of the journey.  And without fail, every year, the trip makes me think: where else in my life should I be foregoing the “fast route” for the “road less traveled”? Where else in my life am I missing out on the marvel of the journey because I’m concentrating too hard on the end goal?  The answers from various parts of my life are always fascinating and hopefully enough to help me make some changes. .
.
This might be the meaning of life right here folks.  Take the path less traveled.  The marvel of the journey might be exactly what you need. .
.
And if you’ve read this far: tell us below, What have been some of your “paths less traveled”? What lessons have you learned by taking the slow route?  We’d love to hear YOUR stories!
.

Instagram post 2189514848865626322_2160961149 So this is what I’ve learned.  I should listen to my husband. (And no he is not bribing me to say this-although I guarantee he’ll screen shot this and hold onto it forever). After horseback riding yesterday I was tired and wanted to sit in the hot tub (I’ve got cookbooks to read- like @halfbakedharvest’s new Super Simple) but no.  He wanted to hike. .
.
.
Sometimes when you love someone you have to do it their way, even when you really don’t want to.  And sensing my reluctance (I’m not very subtle) he picked a shortish hike in the beautiful Sabino Canyon.  We were rewarded with the magnificent beauty of the Sonoran Desert.  Worth every step.  So I have to admit he was right. And boy did that hot tub at @haciendadelsolaz feel good afterwards!

Instagram post 2188906075352564315_2160961149 So this happened this morning.  Something like a scene from the movie City Slickers (and for those of you too young to have seen this movie- go get a copy quick.). Anyhoo...now I’m a Modern Day Cowgirl.  So if anyone is looking for me, I’m out buying my new wardrobe...
.

Thanks to our amazing wrangler, Octavia who didn’t laugh at us once.  And I’m sure that took amazing determination.  And check out stories for my favorite video of all time! .

Instagram post 2188662097000596373_2160961149 I love my kids. I love my life. But sometimes you just need a get away.  And as I’m getting older I’m getting better about taking them.  Like this phenomenal weekend we’re spending in Tucson while the kids are up with grandma in Phoenix.  And @haciendadelsolaz never disappoints.  Time spent in the hot tub with this view is good time indeed! .

Instagram post 2186832100422240666_2160961149 The weather is cool here in Arizona, but that didn’t stop us!  We hiked the Wave Cave Trail in the Superstition Mountains- which if you haven’t done, you definitely should (it’s beautiful!). Here my yoga loving daughter is holding dancer’s pose in the cave while I practice my photography.  The world is full of beauty y’all!

Instagram post 2183085900930446521_2160961149 November has been a busy, busy month.  I’ve worked my full time ER schedule, developed a few new recipes, mommed a little (and one not so little), created a few blog posts, attended a wedding lunch, attended a baby shower, attended 2 book clubs, had dinner with friends, made it to my daughter’s violin performance in the musical, made it to Gaby’s intern night, made it to the Dia de Muertos celebration at my kiddo’s school, took my favorite interns to lunch at @midtownglobalmarket, had lunch with my neighborhood lunch bunch, had brunch with my favorite cardiologist, and worked on building my BeautyCounter business. And did I mention I’m ready to send out my Holiday cards?  It’s only the THIRD week of the month!
.
.
Looking forward to a weekend of relaxation and self care.  I have to admit I’m just a tad worn out.  What’s your favorite way to take care of yourself?  Mine: the bathtub. With books, magazines, and candles.  Carry on folks...I’ll be busy for awhile...
