Beef Stew is one of my favorite soups to make in the winter. It's a simple recipe that will have your home smelling delicious in no time!

Julia Child’s Croissants (But Vegan!)

Julia Child wasn't around in my time, but I sure discovered her once I entered the baking world. I read her biography, My Life in France and enjoyed it immensely. My husband got me her cookbooks, Mastering the Art of French Cooking Vol. 1 & 2 for Christmas and they take pride of place on my bookshelf. I think she was one of the people who inspired me to challenge myself more in my baking. If Julia could enroll in culinary school at 37 years old and master French cooking, then I can definitely learn some advanced skills in the kitchen.…

This quick and easy pea soup is my go to comfort food during the winter. I love to throw some pieces of breakfast ham in there and serve it with garlic bread.

I put the ham in my soup to give it a little extra flavor and something for my mouth to chew since the rest is…

Mom’s Thanksgiving Stuffing

Stuffing is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving, especially Mom's Thanksgiving stuffing. It just doesn't feel right when there isn't stuffing on the table with the turkey. Am I right? My mom's version is a family recipe she got passed down from my grandma. It's simple and delicious. You can make this stuffing with regular or gluten free bread and it comes out superb either way. I don't know about you, but I'm kinda weird and I like to eat stuffing that wasn't actually cooked in the turkey. Mushy bread and me just don't mix. My mom would always make some…
