Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup

October 21, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

For those of you who love cozying up to a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup, my Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup recipe will become a regular in your dinner rotation! It’s creamy and rich with savory cheesy flavor and the perfect amount of broccoli. The only thing that’s missing are the carbs!

The other day I happened to use the phrase “back in the day” in front of my grandmother in reference to a bowl of chicken noodle soup I was thoroughly enjoying. It was hilarious.

She said, with a huge sigh, that language has changed again, and I had no idea what “back in the day” truly means! She is an amazing 80-something-year-old, and one of the toughest ladies I know. And she’s probably right, lol!…

Low-Carb Broccoli and Cheese Casserole {Gluten-Free}

Gluten-free Low-Carb Broccoli and Cheese Casserole is a crowd-pleasing side dish! The more I have the chance to spend time in different areas of the country, the more I realize that where you’re from is often depicted in the way you drive....

Broccoli Cheddar Soup {Gluten-Free; Lactose-Free}

This Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe is deliciously satisfying; it comes together quick, but has slow-simmered depth of flavor. Winter here in NoVA is a funny thing. You’ll be rolling along mid-January without so much as a snow flurry to speak of (wondering if you’ll even see a snowflake this year), and then suddenly a single storm hits and you’re three feet under....

Stovetop White Cheese Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli

This creamy Stovetop White Cheese Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli comes together quick for the perfect kid-friendly meal. Looking through my site, I noticed that I don’t have a lot of kid-oriented recipes. (Mostly because Mike and I don’t have kids (yet) and the only kid in my life (my niece) has a more grown-up palate than most grown-ups I know. From the age of five she insisted on ordering for herself at restaurants, and for a good long stint her meal of choice was broiled fish with steamed vegetables…a girl after my own heart.)...

The first time I ever dyed my hair was freshman year in college. I’m naturally a dirty blonde (which I have always thought was quite an unfortunate term for hair color), and decided to go a little lighter. It was so ridiculously similar to my natural color, it wasn’t even worth the effort....

Balsamic-Roasted Broccoli

I’m always surprised when someone tells me they don’t like broccoli…it’s one of my favorite green veggies! Not to mention, broccoli cooks up super quick, is fabulous in risotto, and goes so well with cheese (or vegan “cheese” sauce!). Plus the florets look like little trees. What’s not to love? When I ask why they don’t like it, the most common response I get is I guess I’m just sick of it…I need new ideas! Well, there’s no way I can hear that and not come to the rescue....

Broccoli Divan {Vegan; Grain-Free; Gluten-Free}

One of the monthly cooking groups I’m in, the 5 Star Makeover group, has had a bit of a makeover itself and is now the Creative Cooking Crew of 24 talented bloggers, hosted by Laz of Lazaro Cooks and Joan of Foodalogue. Group member Trix from Tasty Trix chose the theme for our first month: “Choose one of your favorite rich, heavy, fatty animal-protein-based meals and give it a healthy VEGAN spin.” It’s a theme I was pretty happy with, as I’m no stranger to developing vegan recipes (Refried Lentils, Spinach & Bulgur Wheat Stuffed Red Peppers, and Pumpkin Chickpea Curry have been a few […]...

Lets talk a little about weekday lunches. (Because really, unless I have a lunch date out, lunch is usually my most boring meal of the day.)...

Broccoli Cheddar Bites with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

July 16, 2012 by Faith 28 Comments

When it comes to eating out, I generally prefer small, locally owned restaurants. They’re unique, charming, and full of heart and soul. Not only does patronizing them support local businesses (many times right down to the food sourcing), but I’ve found that their food quality is so much better in general. When I was a kid my parents loved chain restaurants with a passion (and I mean in a strange, over-the-top way that had no rhyme or reason to it). The Original Roadhouse Grill was their absolute favorite, and it was their go-to spot no matter what the occasion. Except if it was a lunchtime […]...
