Vegetarian takes on Mom's Recipes
Well, here we are in the Midwest still getting absolutely pummeled with all the worst things about winter. Snow, ice, freezing rain, and subzero temperatures. Because of this, I’m still in the warm, comfort food zone here in my kitchen. I’ve made at least one soup every week I swear. This stew though is one of my favorite recipes to come out of this winter funk. It’s beautiful, delicious, rich and so simple. …
If you know me at all, or if you have been following this blog, you know I am the #1 fan of weekend breakfasts. I love brunch more than any other meal and there’s nothing better than making a restaurant level brunch from the comfort of my own home. No lines, no cold weather, just me, my man, my dog, and some delicious food. While I feel like a lot of my breakfast/brunch recipes while totally worth it, they are also a little extensive which is not always what you want on a Sunday morning. Not this recipe, these Spicy Tomato Poached eggs are the key to creating your own all star brunch in record time….
This recipe that I’m sharing today is incredibly simple but holds an exceptionally special place in my heart because it was a huge staple at my house when I was a kid and, to me signifies everything good about home and family. I mean hello, it’s called Grandma Soup so clearly it’s special. To be honest I’m not really sure how it got it’s name but I’m pretty sure it’s because it is at least 3 generations old in my family so it’s been tested and approved by multiple grandma’s.
When I first got this recipe from my mom, my original plan was not to share it on the blog. I really just wanted my own go to soup to make when I was sick which I seriously needed in the month of December, seriously I was sick like the whole month. I needed something delicious and comforting but not too filling and this soup hit the absolute mark. So much so that I made the decision it had to be shared. So here we go, a sneak peek into my child and an actual passed down recipe word for word. Not Almost Like Mom’s but JUST like mom’s.

So the holidays are over (*takes deep breath*), which is always a little bittersweet because while I love spending time with family, eating good food and pounding wine, after two weeks straight of it, your body will start to reject you. I swear I think it took me a full two more weeks to start to feel like a normal human again. Assuming that this struggle is not just related to me, I figured I’d share me and Andrew’s go to smoothie recipe to help everyone reset after the holidays….
