One of the quickest ways to my teenage daughter's heart is through a hot bowl of potato soup. This one happens to be her very favorite. It's heartening to me as well to see her get so excited when I tell her what I've made for dinner. If I really want to go above and beyond, she goes nuts when I serve this with my Quick and Easy Homemade Dinner Roll and a tasty green salad. Can you think of a more nourishing meal? Enjoy! Broccoli Potato and Corn Chowder 1 1/2 cups onions (minced)2 cloves garlic (minced)4 cups chicken

For some reason, making homemade dinner rolls always felt so complicated to me. Isn't that always the case with dishes we have never tried to make before? Welp, I learned something new on this one. These take just as long as a loaf of homemade bread and they are incredibly delicious. We like them plain, or schmeared in butter and jam. One of our favorite ways to eat these is to slice them in half and use them as hamburger buns. When you serve one of my homemade hamburger patties between this homemade roll, you will have a crowd of

My time in Mesa, AZ left an impact on me in many ways. One of those is a love for fresh salsa. I love it all: red, mango, pico, and most recently--green! However, my Wyoming roots are pretty hard to overcome, so salsa has to be mild if I am going to eat it. If you are a mild salsa lover like me, this recipe is for you! This recipe is a modified version from my former neighbor, Tiffini. The best part about this recipe is it comes together in less than 10 minutes, and it is SUPER easy to

Halloween night was nothing less than totally magical in my small hometown in Wyoming. As a kid, I received lots of fun treats from my neighbors who knew my siblings and me since the day we were born. My Nana always gave us a homemade caramel apple. One family always gave king-sized candy bars, and another family down the road gave out homemade popcorn balls. But there was one house that was always lined with kids, waiting their turn to receive their traditional homemade sugar cookie. That was the home of a sweet, old lady named Martha Hubbard. Martha likely

Peach season is just beginning in Utah, and you will want to have this recipe on hand. We have peaches in the freezer all year long because all three of our trees are producing now.

Why bake with shortening when you can use butter instead? Years ago, I learned that butter can be substituted for shortening if you omit 1 tablespoon of liquid for every half cup of shortening the recipe calls for. For example, the original recipe from an old cookbook calls for 1 cup shortening and 2 tablespoons milk. To make an accurate substitution, omit both tablespoons of milk, and use 1 cup (2 sticks) butter instead. Viola! These are the moistest on the inside, crispiest on the outside, buttery, cinnamon-y cookies you will ever put in your mouth. Enjoy!! Snickerdoodles (Made with

We drink this smoothie once a week. It's delicious, refreshing, and an incredible immune booster. I'll prove it. Blueberries: antioxidants, Ginger: anti-inflammatory, Bananas: Potassium; Spinach: antioxidants; Kefir: probiotics. Did I mention it is delicious? I have a supply of to-go cups and cute straws in my storage room just so I can make this smoothie for friends and neighbors who are sick or just need a boost so they know I love them. I dare you to try it. And then make one for your neighbor. ENJOY! And, take my word for it, you want to drink this one with
