Will & I are heading to the mountains this weekend and I’m already planning all the soup I’ll be eating, because just the thought of the mountain weather is already making me cold! Every winter, we spend a long weekend in Steamboat Springs, CO. Will’s family has a condo there & it’s only about a…
Back in high school Chicken alfredo was hands down one of my favorite foods. I remember going out on dates with my high school boyfriend & thinking that it was so fancy to get alfredo at places like Chili’s (insert laughing emoji here). But also back in high school I could loads of carbs because…
If you like my Turkey Pot Pie Soup or cheeseburger chowder, you are are going to LOVE this recipe. While there hasn’t been much snow on the ground this winter, it’s still cold in Colorado. Cold weather leaves lots of opportunity to warm up with a nice creamy soup. If you are following me on…
Growing up, Biscuits & Gravy were a staple. Not only did my mom make it regularly on the weekend but it was the MOST popular menu item at a local diner I worked at in high school. It’s the ultimate comfort food. And most importantly, one of my grandpa’s FAVORITE breakfasts, so it will always…
This is one of my favorites when I’m looking for a salad that is a little extra. It’s sweet, salty & the chipotle ranch is so luscious it seems naughty. Salads should not be an item that you associate with a diet. It should be viewed as a bowl that you can fill to the…

There was a time in my life, when all I did was count calories and tried to find the “light” version of every recipe. Of course Hindsight is 20/20 but with what I know now about food, I know that I was eating smaller portions of lower quality food & it’s no wonder that I…
A rich tomato soup full of vegetables & tasty Italian sausage. Is your mouth watering yet? We are in the thick of soup season, so this is one of many when it comes to my favorite soups. It’s warm & cozy & leaves you feeling satisfied! This Soup has all the cold weather contenders: Italian…
I wanted to save this recipe for my Fake Out Take Out Series (coming soon), but I just could not keep this goodness from you all. Ramen is a classic comfort food. In fact, Will & I have a spot here in Fort Collins that we frequent & love when we need a good date…
