Soup Season

With a lot of soup recipes and soup ideas afloat, it's time to look at what you might want to put in your soup … mainly, crackers. But I'm not talking just any crackers. I am talking about little oyster crackers swimming in a seasoning of ranch and dill. Best of all: they take about 5 minutes to whip up!

Hot and Sweet

Cold weather calls for food with a lot of flavor. For me, that means something that blends heat with sweetness and I can't think of a nicer way to bring that to the plate than with a simple chicken dish that can be made in minutes.

Creative Containers

Sometimes, all you need to make a quick meal that will appeal to your family is a can of refrigerated biscuits and a handful of leftovers or convenience items. Next thing you know, you're serving them a bevy of creatively-assembled empanadas!

Kick It Up All The Notches

When you say "vegetarian chili", you might get groans from carnivores. Yet, vegetarian chili packs one heck of a punch in my home and is my go-to when what I really want is a spicy meal that will have more than five alarms going off!

The Cost of Eating Healthy

With many New Years Resolutions involving eating healthier, we thought it might be time to take a look at a recent study that finds the difference between a healthy and unhealthy diet can be as little as $1.50 a day.
