Easy Miso Soup

Lately, we’ve been hearing so much about having a healthy gut.  I kind of ignored all of these articles until I started to have problems of my own.  As a result, I’ve been on a quest to feel better.  I’m getting there! At this moment, I honestly have no tummy bloat, regurge, acid reflux and fatigue since I’ve been doing what I’m doing.  I’ll have a more in-depth article coming soon about my journey to a healthy tummy. 😉 Meanwhile,...

Best Ever Goulash

best ever goulash

Sometimes we find recipes in the funniest places.  This one was found in a doctor’s office magazine.  Pre-Pinterest if you found a recipe, you wrote it down, or ripped it out of a waiting room magazine.  I love goulash and grabbed this up immediately.  And it was so worth it! It does call for plenty of ingredients, but all you need is a good pot and a can opener. Besides browning the meat and chopping your onions and garlic, there’s...

Dad’s Tortilla Soup

Carrots make an awesome side that many people forget about. They have a reputation for being boring.  But,...

Dye-Free Homemade Peeps

Follow Me! Being a parent you hear all the scary things you shouldn’t expose your kids to.  But, there was one I kinda ignored until the last few years.  This is when I absolutely saw a difference when consumed.  Dye. The evil dye.  I always thought parents were being oversensitive when they said their children couldn’t have dye.  Well, I started to notice a sharp incline in hyperactivity when dye was around.  They could have sugar and yes it made them...
