I love a good bouillabaisse, but I wanted something heartier. So I made a few tweaks and came up with this recipe. Ingredients Preparation Makes ten 2-cup servings.
Sausage and Bean Crockpot Soup
This is a hearty soup, that is easy to put together in a crockpot. Ingredients 1 package of bean soup mix (20 oz of mixed, dried beans, typically comes with a flavoring packet). 2 Kielbasa or similar smoked sausage. 1 medium to large yellow onion 1 bunch of kale (about 2 cups finely chopped) 4…
Chilled Cucumber Soup
I had a soup similar to this at a restaurant years ago. It’s a perfect soup for a hot summer evening, cool and refreshing. Ingredients 2 large cucumbers 2 cups buttermilk 1/4 to 1/2 cup sour cream (optional) 1/4 to 1/2 yellow onion 1 – 2 Tbsp of vinegar Fresh dill (to taste) Salt (to…
Fluffy Whole Wheat* Waffles
Ever since I bought a mini waffle maker last year, I’ve been in love with making my own waffles at home. As a single guy, I don’t want to make full-sized waffles for myself, so this was the perfect option. Plus, I can choose to make a single batch or a large batch that I…
Tuna Noodle Casserole
One of my guilty pleasures is tuna noodle casserole, but it’s not always the healthiest dish. I wanted to make a version that was healthier, while still retaining the creamy goodness of the casserole I love. My solution? Adding goat cheese! You have to try it to believe how savory this dish is, even without…
Vegan-Friendly Bulletproof Coffee

Avgolemono (Greek Lemon-Chicken Soup)
This is my take on a classic Greek favorite. It’s one way I use up the remains of a rotisserie chicken. It’s also one of my favorite go-to soups when I’m sick. The combination of chicken soup with all the lemon in it always helps me get over a cold extra fast (at least I…
Fish Stew
This is a new recipe I’ve recently created when I was accidentally sent some halibut I hadn’t ordered. So, I came up with a tasty fish stew! INGREDIENTS 2-3 Tbsp olive oil 1 onion 2-3 large cloves of garlic 6 oz can of tomato paste 5 tomatoes, diced 5 small to medium sized russet potatoes,…
Blueberry Custard Pie
This recipe came from my grandmother, who would bake this whenever we could afford to buy blueberries in-season. It’s my favorite way to make a blueberry pie!
