Chicken Tortilla Soup (a gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
Chicken Tortilla Soup I never used to make soup. Good grief! What was I thinking? Soup is so simple to prepare and satisfying to eat. You just saute some vegetables, add other ingredients and seasonings, pour in some broth, and simmer until all the flavors come together. It can also be really economical, as soup is a great place to combine leftover meat, beans, or vegetables, adding broth to stretch them as far as possible. If I had to pick only one soup to make for the rest of my days, this recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup would be the winner. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor is outstanding. Make enough for dinner and eat the Keep Reading
Rice Bowls with Citrus Soy Dressing
Rice Bowls with Citrus Soy Dressing Whether you call them rice bowls, sushi bowls, wok bowls, or just plain old stir fry, I think we can all agree on one thing: they. are. delicious. A bowl of rice topped with sautéed meat or fresh vegetables and drizzled with a flavorful sauce. Sign me up. I think of rice bowls as Asian-inspired comfort food, perfect for May when we are making that rainy transition from winter to spring. They are packed with flavor and color, two things I crave as we move out of the winter blahs. This recipe is yet another favorite from Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Cooking (Amazon) The fresh, flavorful sauce comes together Keep Reading
25 ways to prepare late spring produce
As spring turns into early summer in the great Northwest, the produce selection starts to get interesting again. You might wander through your backyard garden or local farmer's market (when they open back up again!). Maybe you pick up a CSA farm share each week or just run into the grocery store while out running an errand or two. Growing or buying produce in season is one thing. Knowing what in the world to do with it once you get it home can be another. Those beautiful bunches of beets and strange stalks of chard. That impulse buy of radishes or delivery of kale. Without a plan, a frugal decision in the produce department can turn into a waste Keep Reading
What to buy at Trader Joe’s
What to buy at Trader Joe's I'm no longer a hardcore coupon shopper, my brand of "frugal living" involves buying less, cooking more, growing food, ignoring trends. That kind of stuff. I also have four children under the age of five. When my husband and I collapse on the couch at the end of the day, it involves a pint of ice cream + 2 spoons. No scissors or coupons or talk of groceries. So while I occasionally miss my coupon glory days, grocery shopping is more of a survival skill/sprint event for me now. 90% of my grocery time is spent between Costco and Trader Joe's. I shamelessly adore both of these stores. Costco, with their carts the size of a Keep Reading

Rice Bowls with Teriyaki Chicken and Ginger Slaw
Rice Bowls with Teriyaki Chicken And Ginger Slaw I have actually never read Ladies' Home Journal before or after college (apparently it no longer exists, did you know??), but my college library housed a fantastic collection of magazines. I used to take frequent "study breaks" holed up in the periodical section. Who wants to be reading dusty reference books when you could be reading recipes for the perfect layer cake or tips for carving your first turkey? Perhaps I would have been a good candidate for a home economics degree. In the end, I made it out with a teaching degree and a thick stack of recipes copied in the library lobby. Years later, this Keep Reading
