Leek and Cauliflower Soup

March 21, 2017 by Kristina Leave a Comment

This soup is so light and flavorful. It's great as a starter, a snack, paired with a salad for a light lunch, etc. It freezes perfectly! I freeze mine in pint sizes mason jars for single sized portions that I can reheat quickly on the stove. We've has quite the week here at our house....I'll spare you the details but will tell you, we were all pretty under the weather (I actually think this is the first time in our 10 years that my husband has had a fever).  After a week like that I'm left with ...

April 3, 2014 by Kristina 9 Comments

When I moved to Chicago almost 5 years ago I bought, on impulse, a big can of crab.  I had a bunch of portabella mushrooms in the fridge and I some how concocted some amazing crab stuffed portabella mushrooms as an appetizer for the grilled flank steak we were eating for dinner.  I love it when that happens! That was before I changed my diet so the old recipe just wouldn't do - oddly, once again I took a few things I had in the fridge and made these - maybe crab's just good with anything?  These ...

It’s cold and rainy in Michigan today and I’m wishing I had some homemade chicken broth ready for a soup like this one. This soup is naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, egg free and can be easily made vegan. It also could easily be made nightshade free with the elimination of…
