Let’s Chat About Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles (and My Odd Love of Rainy Days) So, I’m just gonna say it: nothing shrinks my to-do list like thinking about Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles bubbling away while it rains outside.

Let’s Talk About Apple Cider Braised Pork Shoulder Okay, confession time: I never thought I’d fall in love with a pork shoulder.

Sit Down, Let’s Talk about Rustic Garlic Soup I have to tell you, this soup is one of those things that sneaks up on you. The first time I made it, I was living in a creaky old flat with terrible counters, and somehow, slicing all that garlic made things feel—well, more French than my…
The Cheesiest Hug in a Bowl (Or: How I Accidentally Won Soup Night) Okay, so you know how some days just really call for soup that sticks to your ribs? That’s this. Bacon Cheddar Gnocchi Soup. Actually, the first time I made it, I was trying to stretch leftover gnocchi and a block of cheddar…
If You Need Some Comfort, This White Bean Soup Is It Alright, friend.
