Cold Busting Black Bean N Ham Soup
Tara on Jan 20th 2010
This is one of my original creations which evolved over the years, mainly because I never wrote it down. I’ve had several requests from the family to make this soup lately. So after making a huge pot yesterday while it snowed, and having 5 teens and 2 tweens here all day, I have finally documented […]

White Beans N Ham
Tara on Jan 17th 2010
Dried beans with cornbread was a common meal at our house when I was growing up. My Dad was a whiz at bean cooking while mom baked the best cornbread I’ve ever tasted. In all my married years – I’ve never tried cooking dried beans. You see, I have a deep fear of pressure cookers […]

Hope’s Chicken Riddle Soup
Tara on Jan 7th 2010
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get a bowl of soup! My daughter has made this soup a couple of times. I think the Ramen noodles make it fun for kids of all ages. It’s quick and easy and tasty too. Only one can of chicken made it into the photo, but we […]
Sherried Cream of Tomato Soup
Tara on Jan 5th 2010
This is one of my FAVORITE winter soups – adapted from PIONEER WOMAN. Once you try this soup – you’ll never go back to Campbell’s again. I keep the ingredients on hand at all times during the winter. If we ever do get snowed in, we’re ready! Make this soup, put on your comfy pants, curl […]
