    curried salmon chowder in bread bowls

    Greetings! This is not related to this blog post, but I just wanted to let you know that I deleted my personal Facebook account. Can’t really get into the many reasons why I did this, only that I felt a huge weight has been lifted once I hit the delete button. It was time. Unfortunately,…

    summer squash, corn and chiles over rice

    Summer Squash is abundant in our area, and since Ben worked the local farmer’s market, the other vendors gave him a whole bunch as barter for Ben’s pizza! But other than making zucchini bread, which we will still need to do, Ben cooked one of his typical meals for us tonight, which was awesome! This…

    Slow Cooker Chicken, Sausage, and White Bean Chili

    This is a recipe I’ve made often over a the years that I can now put it together completely from memory. Sometimes I’ve forgotten and have added the whole 12 fluid ounce can of chicken stock, and it came out watery, but otherwise still a good eat. Other times, I added more vegetables, or switched…
