White Bean Chicken Chili

January 11, 2015 By Beth Cranford 7 Comments

White Bean Chicken Chili:Beat the chill with delicious (and quick to make) chili.

  Raise your hand if you’re sick of winter! I really shouldn’t complain, I know it’s much colder in other parts of the country, but I’ve gotten a little spoiled, having moved from Maine to Tennessee ten years ago. 30° is now cold to me! In my own defense, it’s been much colder than that…

Easy Southwest Chicken Soup

December 11, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

The thing about soup is that it’s a “comfort food”, which means, you sometimes just really need some soup. Not an hour from now, and most definitely not from a can. (Seriously, don’t do that.)  But soup can take a while to cook. And, despite its humble appearance, some soups can be a bit time-intensive….

Nach-Yo Mamma’s Chicken Soup

February 6, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

Nach-yo Mamma's Chicken Soup

This is my husband’s favorite soup. It’s very easy to make and can be done either on the stove or in the crock pot. I took lots of pics but I don’t want you to think that it’s complicated so I’ve compiled them into one fun little collage. It takes only a few minutes to…

The Best Potato Soup

February 4, 2014 By Beth Cranford 5 Comments

The Best Potato Soup; delicious, comforting, and only one pot!

Finally! A potato soup recipe that is easy, takes only one pot, and most importantly, is delicious! This is only slightly adapted from the Pioneer Woman’s recipe, found here. I took a ton of pictures but don’t let that scare you. It’s not complicated. I’ve discovered it’s better for me to get as much done…

Autumn Chicken Stew

Autumn Chicken Stew

Who wants another Crock Pot recipe? One that isn’t just another version of the ones you already have? (Seriously, how many beef stew recipes can one person possibly need anyway?) This is one of those recipes that you just have to try. There is no way I can describe to you the flavor of this…

Veggie-Beef Soup

Hearty, Easy, Cheap, and Very Freezer-Friendly!

I can’t think of a better way to get my daily veggies on a cold winter evening than a beautiful, warm soup. And if it’s easy to make… and super cheap, well, we have us a deal! I’ve been eating this soup since I can remember being alive and making it since I was probably…

Quick Clam Chowder

Quick Clam Chowder; Super easy and fool-proof

I have to begin this post with a confession. I usually only post recipes here that I have tried and I like. They also need to be either really easy or really worth it if not-so-easy. I really can’t stand clam chowder. There. confession made. I’m publishing a recipe I do not like. But my…

Easy Corn Chowder

December 9, 2013 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

I love how easy and inexpensive this meal is!  I don’t suppose it’s the healthiest meal ever invented, but it’s certainly not the worst! And it’s a welcome comfort on a cold afternoon. My brother likes his with a tuna sandwich, though I’m sure it has nothing to do with increasing the nutritional value! Enjoy your…

Beef Stew

November 4, 2013 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

I just realized I’ve been making this stew for about 23 years, and I still love it! My friend Leslie gave me her recipe in college. This is pretty much it, except she uses a package of dry onion soup mix instead of the real onions. I like to use as few packages as possible,…
