If I haven’t mentioned this before, I am a huge soup fan. Whether it’s raining, snowing, or 90 degrees outside, I’m not one to turn down a delicious bowl of soup. Especially If I’m in the mood for comfort food with minimum effort, soup it is! A fan favorite of my family is my homemade …

I love a good baked potato. Whether it’s a large russet or a vibrant sweet potato, if it’s baked, I’ll eat it. Baked potatoes are easy to make, pair nicely with just about any entrée, and have a pretty extensive toppings list. Although I am baked potato crazy now, this was not always the case. …
