Thanks for giving me some bloggy love! I just started that blog, and didnt know if anyone would look so its exciting when someone does! My husband is a little picky too! I try to balance what I make for him too, but if it's not something he really likes, I just tell him to get over it because its more for the kids that night! Usually he'll eat it and not complain if all the kids like it! BUT he doesnt like some veggies that I really like, so I never make them. Wah, wah. I guess we (you and I), could just make what we make, and our husbands can try/eat a little, but it could be just for us! ha

Lemon Chicken Artichoke Soup

There is a take and bake place in town that has the most amazing lemon chicken artichoke soup. I decided to try to make a copy of it at home. This soup isn’t exactly like the one at the local shop here, but it’s close. This recipe is so good and highly addictive! I encourage you to try it as soon as you can! Lemon Chicken Artichoke Soup Ingredients: ½ stick of butter 1 tbsp oilive oil 5 cloves of garlic, minced 2 yellow onions, diced 2 12oz jars of quartered artichoke hearts in water (drained, rinsed and diced) 2-3 lemons 2-3 cups of cooked chicken breasts, diced 1 tsp of dried oregano 8 cups of reduced sodium chicken broth 2 cups of half & half Salt and pepper to taste In a 5-6 qt. stockpot over medium heat, melt butter and add the olive oil.

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai...
