Crockpot Corn Chowder
On most Saturday nights Benzo and I go to a church group at 5:30pm. It usually lasts about an hour and a half, but then we always end up standing around chatting for another 20-30 minutes. Sometimes we get there at 4:30 to help set up or if Benzo is playing in the band (he's a… Continue reading Crockpot Corn Chowder

Crockpot Sweet Potato Veggie Chili
Well that past two days have been a flurry of spreadsheets for me. I ended up not having to work last weekend, which was great, but I still had work looming over my head.

Anyway this is the dish that went along with my homemade mashed potatoes. I meant to post this yesterday but… Continue reading Vegetarian “Chicken” & Noodles

Un-Chicken Noodle Soup
Hi. Long time no blog, eh? I have a perfectly good reason for not blogging lately, or very often in the past few months in fact. I am hoping to explain that reason later this week! But last night I made the most delicious "un-chicken" noodle soup I have ever tasted. And now I am… Continue reading Un-Chicken Noodle Soup

A Bargain Leads to Comfort Food
Last week Benzo and I stopped into our favorite used book store while we were out and about. We like to stop by about once a week or so to see if there's anything new. Used book stores are great because the stock turns over quickly so there are always new books on the shelves. … Continue reading A Bargain Leads to Comfort Food
