Today is Homemade Soup Day – can you guess what’s for dinner?
Minestrone soup is a favorite around here. This super quick recipe has become a staple during winter months. I can keep all the ingredients on hand (except the spinach- which is optional). And it cooks up quick, which is very important for my busy family. It is a complete meal in one bowl.
While some days I enjoy spending time in the kitchen, other days I love quick and easy. Right now is time for quick and easy.
Corn and Black Bean Relish is a family favorite. It goes great as a side to quesadillas, as an appetizer, or as party food. And with five ingredients you can’t go wrong.
Brrrrr. It is cold outside! Here in Florida we will barely get above freezing. On days like today, I am thankful to be able to stay at home and not have to get out and face the elements. Yes, I know that it is colder in other parts of the country, but one month ago it was 85 and I was wearing shorts and flip-flops. I know, I know, pull up my big girl panties and deal with it.
Now back to the topic at hand…

This is my take on my mom’s chili. I am not sure where the recipe originally came from. Continue reading “Slow-cooker Chili”
