Kale and White Bean Soup

What do you know? I managed to get another recipe up after all. For those of you who don’t follow me on Facebook yet (why not??) I’ve said I probably won’t get many chances to update the blog for a while. Between my pregnancy and chasing after a toddler, I’m just too pooped most days to come up with anything new to post. I’m still sharing lots of ideas on my Facebook page, though. Sometimes they’re older recipes of mine that are seasonally appropriate, other times they’re links to wonderful recipes I’ve discovered elsewhere on the web.

When I started making baby food for my daughter, I got into the habit of keeping home made chicken stock on hand.

I lost a dear friend this past weekend. After many good years together, my electric range went on to that big kitchen in the sky. My mourning period quickly ended when I realized I now had excuse to buy the gas range I’d been wanting. Yay! Of course I’m still without a stove until the replacement arrives and gets installed. Between the grill, the crock pot, the rice cooker and the electric wok, I think I’ll pull through.  I decided I’d finally use that hambone that’s been taking up space in my freezer since Easter. This recipe is based on … Continue Reading →
