So whether you’ve got a little extra time to make your own like I did this morning or you’re supporting your favorite local breakfast joint….don’t miss an opportunity to celebrate this beloved breakfast sandwich!!

February 25th is National Chili Day! Right smack in the middle of Winter, just when cabin fever is getting real and we’re all longing for spring. It’s the perfect chance to break out a new Chili recipe to excite your taste buds.

Happy National Muffin Day!
I set a calendar reminder for this food holiday because I knew it would be an opportunity to spend some time in the kitchen with Ella, my fun-loving, bright, kind and witty bonus-daughter who can hold her own in the kitchen.

With winter ragging across most of the country, I posed this question on Facebook:
What is your favorite soup?
I received a nice variety of responses, which included some of my favorite soups like Broccoli Cheddar and Italian Wedding and others that I had yet to recreate at home. Steak & Potato Soup was a sentimental entry, since it came from my husband Nick.
