Winter is supposed to be drawing to a close around here, though the piles of snow hanging around may beg to differ. I love winter, and basically any excuse to curl up by a warm fire with a book, and a cup of tea, but I have to say, I’m pretty excited to start seeing some spring vegetables appearing at the farmer’s markets again….
Minestrone soup is easily one of my most favorite soups. I love the variants of flavor and texture that come from all the different vegetables. I also love that it can easily be adapted to the season….
Butternut squash soup is a house staple in the fall and winter months. Mostly because it’s the best way to use up leftover roasted squash, but also because it’s pretty delicious. I actually took these photos way back in November, and I’m just now getting around to telling you about it.

I’ve been seeing these Egg Roll Bowls around the internet for a bit and have been dying to try it out. I mean I love egg rolls (who doesn’t?) and honestly, I prefer most of my meals in a bowl anyway. This allows for maximum scoopability, you see. These days mama needs to be able to eat in .324 seconds before one of the babies has a melt down. It’s inevitable at this point….
One of the things that I love most about fall and winter is the excuse to turn on the stove. I absolutely love slow cooked recipes that not only help keep the house warm but also make it smell amazing! This recipe is one of those wonderfully easy recipes that just require a bit of extra time in the oven. It also makes for a pretty stunning meal at a dinner party….
