Some soups are so easy it’s shameful not to make them more often! I think you will find that to be true with this quick, filling, eight-ingredient cream soup.

These are my favorite crackers. I’ve been “testing” (gleefully eating) batch after batch to make sure I get them just right for you! They are similar to my Sesame, Cheese, and Nut Crackers except they have the distinct flavor that only nutritional yeast can bring. I love nutritional yeast and butter on popcorn so it …
You know summer is in full swing when the peaches and peppers show up at the farmer’s markets! A sweet and spicy jalapeño peach marinade is the perfect way to take advantage of both. In this recipe I use bavette steaks, but this marinade would be delicious on any cut of beef, lamb, or chicken! …
I just sat down to a nice little lunch featuring these amazing pizza green beans. They have been hanging out on my counter for the last 10 days traditionally fermenting with garlic, tomato, and oregano. I will officially tell you I’m in love! I’m not even a huge fan of green beans but when I …

This is a simple, fun way to grill veggies. We love grilling. It brings our family and friends together in a relaxed setting, and during the warmer months we cook outside as much as possible. If we’re going to fire up the grill then I want to make it worth the effort. So I try …
