Delicious Squash Polenta and low calorie too!
I love to occasionally something dinner to go with our dinners beyond potatoes, rice or pasta. Polenta uses corn meat/grits- either coarse or finely ground, and is often flavored with cheese. This creamy, cheesy recipe tastes so decadent YET was just under 100 calories per serving when I made it!…

Zesty Turkey Vegetable Soup
This is a kick on my taco ranch soup, one of the most popular recipes on my blog. I swapped out edamame and some other veggies for all of the beans, makes it a little less chili like and keep down on some of the calories. Also a good one for my non-legume lovers. ...…

Italian Wedding Soup
This is a DELICIOUS chicken broth based soup with mini turkey meatballs and escarole (sub spinach if you cant find escarole). The old school Italian method also includes an egg or two scrambled and whisked into the broth at the end to form thin strands of egg, but I prefer it without. Give it a whirl:…

Pumpkin Ancho Chili
Good morning! This weeks soup of the (every)day has been a chili. I had some leftover pumpkin from testing out a "pumpkin pie oatmeal" idea and it was the perfect addition to our turkey chili recipe. Doctored up a little with a few extras to compliment the pumpkin. And lately, big love for rehydrating ancho peppers. They…
