Creamy Veggie Soups

 It all started with my creamy cauliflower leek soup….then morphed to include creamy zucchini leek soup and now it is just creamy veggie soup!  There are so many variations I don’t stick to just one combo anymore.  I love to play with the variety, but the basic formula remains the same.

Paleo Travel: Kitchen Tools To Go

 

I have to give credit where credit is due….my husband came up with the idea to pack a kitchen essentials pouch years ago.  For years now we have been renting apartments or houses for our vacations and have discovered that some kitchens are better equipped than others. Continue reading

Pots and Pans: Organization Hacks 

  

 I love a good organization hack and of course I am all about sharing a good idea.  I saw this a long time ago back when I was clipping magazine pages and dreaming about a new kitchen (yes that was a long time ago).  Now that our dream kitchen is a reality, I am slowing implementing all of my ideas.  Just ran to the hardware store to buy a spring rod for one of my pots and pan drawers…the lids tuck up front so they are easy to grab, but also out of the way.  Love it!

Toasty Oven Roasted Leek Greens

  

I have seen roasted leek greens on several plates lately on instagram and since I had a pile of leek greens leftover from making my Creamy Cauliflower Leek Soup I decided to give them a go.  I have also had a goal of attempting to roast every veggie I eat, so check this one off my list now😉.  These are absolutely amazing and Continue reading

Lavender Laundry Sachets: DIY

  A while back a friend of mine gave me some cute little tea bag like lavender laundry sachets for the dryer from Trader Joes.  Each was good for about 5-7  dryer loads before the paper bag started to get really worn, and I was down to my last one.  I went online to Etsy.com to see if I could buy some fabric ones, but then…lightbulb… I remembered Continue reading
