We are soooo in that weird place where our grown kids are leaving, coming back again, and leaving again. It’s a tough world out there and our kids are definitely feeling it. For me, having adults coming and going as they please but still wanting to offer good, home made food means having to plan,…
Dad’s Kapusniak (Sauerkraut Soup)
The holidays are finally over and though I do enjoy them I am always just as glad to see the tree come down as I am to see it go up. Except for the little LED lights, I do love them and wish they could just stay all winter to get us through the darkest…
Roasted Tomato Soup
Here in the foothills growing tomatoes can be a tough go, at least at my house where the garden is out in the open.

This is especially true if you are trying to reduce or eliminate the chemical laden processed foods in your diet. Canned broth is generally very high in sodium and often contains mystery ingredients like natural colouring. Even my go-to-in-a-pinch…
