Tart and tangy apples, plus the juice of a fresh-squeezed orange, give this recipe for Easy Broccoli Apple Soup a bright and sunny disposition.

One-Pot Chipotle Sweet Potato Chili
Chipotles in adobo sauce, friends. That’s where it’s at. One-Pot Chipotle Sweet Potato Chili is super simple (you’re welcome), but then you take it up a notch with those chipotles. Eating it is giving me goosebumps and making my nose runny. I know that’s a really weird thing to say and may not sound at all desirable when we’re talking about food, but that heat – it goes down and spreads out and warms your body in the best way. Don’t fight it. And really, don’t fight it because it takes only 20 – that’s TWENTY(!) – minutes to make One-Pot Chipotle Sweet Potato Chili, so why not?!

Easy Thai Coconut Curry Noodles (Khao Soi) and Thailand Part I – Chiang Mai
How do you put the most incredible week of your life into words? How do you condense it into 20 pictures or less? I’m never at a loss for words — not when I’ve got my virtual pen to paper. But here I am…
I suppose I could start by writing about the food… Easy Thai Coconut Curry Noodles (Khao Soi) was one of our first meals on that side of the Pacific and easily one of my top two for the week. I craved it for the duration of our vacation, but was determined not to eat the same thing twice. Now that I’m home, I’m Americanizing and easifying it and adding it to the regular dinner rotation.

Dairy-Free Creamy Mushroom Soup
It’s 6am and I’m eating Creamy Mushroom Soup. I know that’s weird, but it’s kind of not weird too because this soup is really good. Like, I’m really happy to be eating it right now. Which, that is weird too. So maybe it’s just me.

Roasted Pumpkin Ramen
Boy do I just crave ramen sometimes. I am not a noodle person. I have no idea why I have this crazy noodle soup craving. Maybe it’s the cooler weather or the shorter days. Maybe it’s the cold I can’t kick. But all I want is a big, brothy bowl of Roasted Pumpkin Ramen.

Thai Tomato Peanut Soup
It’s comfort food time of year, people. And yet, I’m typing this up on a Monday morning with a large mug of herbal tea and a cold-pressed green juice that tastes like celery and cucumbers – two foods I’m not super fond of – but the point is, while my body really needs all the hydration and vitamin A it can get (120% in my green juice!), I’m just having all the feelings for soups and casseroles and banana bread right now.
You friends DO NOT want to see the failure that tried to be Slow-Cooker Banana Bread yesterday. It’s rubbery and just, BLEH. Slow cookers are magical for certain menu items, but bread is not one of them. Let’s leave it at that.

Cool Beet and Apple Soup
Oh hello, blog. It’s me, Danielle. I’m here for now… Just MOVING to Chicago in T minus 2 days.
And I have a lot to do in these next two days, one of them being to DETOX. Yes. How many Christmas parties and goodbye dinners and wine nights and holiday bar crawls and gift exchanges and annual get-togethers can a girl fit into four weeks?

Spiced Pork Posole
My pipes froze over the weekend. But thankfully I had a batch of this Spiced Pork Posole ready to zap in the microwave.
It may not have been enough to thaw the pipes, but it unfroze my soul.
Just kidding. My soul is pretty warm-fuzzy.
An FYI about frozen pipes — they are not fun. I returned from work one day, got undressed for a post-work rinse, which takes a lot of courage since my house is not exactly winterized (single-pane windows, thermostat set to 65…). I turn on the bathtub faucet only to be met with a quick spit of water, a few gurgly sounds, and then a puff of dust. (There probably wasn’t dust — I might have conjured that bit in my imagination.)
