Paprika Beef Chili
Recently on a pantry clean out I found FOUR containers of paprika. FOUR! So – I set out to make a few dishes with hearty servings of this spice in order to whittle down my stash. The first dish I made was a paprika roasted sheet pan chicken. I had high hopes of this one […]

Turmeric Lentil and Veggie Soup
Ever since we first found out we were pregnant I’ve been looking forward to this weekend during which we spent a full day doing postpartum freezer meal prep! A few of us have done this before for other friends who are having babies and they’ve reported back how helpful it was to have meals on […]

Make-Ahead Minestrone Soup
I’ve written before about how important it is to me to cook for friends during times of need and the gratitude I hold for those that supported me in this way after mom died. Unfortunately we are in this position again as we mourn the loss of our beloved Q’s father. While nothing cures the […]
