This Skinny Cheesy Vegetable Chowder is a hearty chowder reduces the fat and calories (only 160 per serving) without sacrificing any flavor! Seriously delicious and so easy to make! I have a delicious Cheesy Vegetable Chowder Soup for you today. This soup reminds me of cream of broccoli soup, which I love, but hate all the fat and calories. This soup gives the impression of being creamy and rich, and is filled with delicious flavors. The base of this soup (carrots, celery, onion, and garlic), is the same base that starts off this Tomato Basil Soup and this ...

Halloween Chunky Cheese Dip
Over the years, I have come to appreciate a good Halloween snack. There is so much candy on Halloween, that sometimes it’s nice to have some substantial food as well. I have been a lover of chunky cheese dip, and have been making it since I was a kid. The cream cheese and salsa pair perfectly with Spicy Buffalo Style Wheat Thins or regular wheat thins as well. It’s also a great dip for veggie sticks or chips. We LOVE it at my house. The best part about it is that it only takes 5 minutes to whip up, and then you can refrigerate it overnight for the best flavor. With only TWO ...
3 Herb Garlic Cheese Bread
We are HUGE dippers at my house. My husband often ‘jokes’ that whatever we are eating is just a vehicle for the sauce…because it’s all about the sauce! Over the weekend I decided to cook up some delicious cheesy bread to take to a Mother’s Day BBQ, and I knew that Barilla® Sauce would be the perfect dipping sauce. Of course, I was right! I used some dough I whipped up the night before and then added fresh herbs from my garden and mounds of delicious mozzarella cheese. Can’t go wrong with that! Using the fresh herbs definitely brings something extra to the regular ...
Easy Homemade Vegetarian Chipotle Enchilada Sauce
I’m not going to lie, I had never tried making enchilada sauce at home until about a year ago. I was a serious Old El Paso girl. That red sauce in the yellow can seemed perfect always and I was happy to buy it. However, then I tried making it at home, and I was BLOWN away. Not only because there are so many varieties you can make, but because it’s so much healthier and it tastes SO much better…like so much better. I found a recipe for some Chipotle Enchilada sauce, but it had chicken stock in it which meant it wasn’t technically vegetarian. Sometimes I let things ...
Vegetarian Nacho Soup
Have you ever followed a basic recipe, only to have it come out horribly? Yeah, that happens to me occasionally, and it’s always such a bummer when it does. When I saw this recipe (gone wrong), I thought it looked good and wanted to try it. It’s hard to find vegetarian soup recipes that are really hearty because typically a nacho soup would have beef or some kind of meat, right? So this veggie-only option is really great, however the recipe I followed did not come out well…it came out bad. So bad that I ended up tossing it. It just really didn’t seem salvageable. I hate hate hate ...
Creamy Jalapeno Ranch
Since 1992 Ranch has been the #1 salad dressing in the United States, and this is definitely for good reason. Ranch is good on everything. I remember back in my middle school cafeteria my friend, Holly, trying to convince me in that I should dip my pizza in ranch dressing. It sounded disgusting, and I didn’t do it. I liked my pizza how it was! Over the weeks though, I noticed it wasn’t just Holly dipping her pizza in ranch, it was everyone. Reluctantly I gave it a try and since then I haven’t turned back. Ranch is good on everything. Fact. It can be made as a thin ...
