Instant Pot Bean and Bacon Soup

March 6, 2018 By Lane 34 Comments

Childhood. What brings you back? For me it’s Bean and Bacon Soup.

I remember my mom pulling out that little red Campbell’s can and adding water in a small saucepan on our stove. Ready in a jiffy (no better lunch when you have 3 little kids). But now that I’m older and like to make things from scratch, I know I can make this without relying on a single can! And you can too. Whole food ingredients only. And once I received an Instant Pot, I knew exactly what I needed to develop…a recipe for my childhood favorite. Presto…Instant Pot Bean and Bacon Soup was born.

Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken Soup

January 16, 2018 By Holly 14 Comments

I think anyone who knows me well is aware of the fact that I have a major soup addiction. I can eat it pretty much all day, any day. Lunch? Awesome. Dinner? Definitely. I’ve even been known to have some for breakfast. I love hearty soups like our lasagna soup, spicy vegetable based versions (try our black bean version here), and pretty much anything you can put cheese in, like our Chipotle and Stout Chili. When time allows, I love to bust out my trusty dutch oven, chop a bunch of vegetables, and let something cook all day. The house fills with amazing smells and I go about my day, knowing a satisfying meal is a few hours away. Let’s be real, though, most days as a busy working mama of two littles are not super well suited to time intensive recipes. Dinner needs to get on the table and toddlers need to be chased around. Enter: our Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken Soup….

Good Food Reads: A Healthy Start

January 5, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Happy Friday, friends. I know we didn’t really fall in line with the New Year, healthy everything program on Tuesday (if you missed it, check out our Cheesy Artichoke Dip!) but we’re back today with a great list of some of our favorite recipes for those times when we really want to put extra focus on healthy, nourishing foods. The New Year is so often a time for great diet and fitness resets and it’s also a really busy time – coming back to work or school after the holidays is no joke! Combine that with needing to make healthy foods and fit in some exercise and I love to have a handful of easy to prepare, portable foods to make. This week’s Good Food Reads: A Healthy Start is packed full of recipes to take you through your day in a healthy, happy way!…

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup

December 26, 2017 By Lane 5 Comments

The easiest homemade slow cooker chicken noodle soup you will ever find (well, short of heading over to grandma’s house…)!

I don’t know about you, but I am so over all of the holiday indulgence (although I wouldn’t turn away a piece of homemade toffee-I just didn’t get around to making it this year). I’m looking forward to the lighter recipes of January. And we’ll get there, I promise. As life would have it though, influenza has hit Minneapolis hard and I know my friends and family are looking for an easy soup recipe to provide some comfort. Easy being the key word.
