I’ve been making some version of this Mexican Soup for almost 15 years now. It’s easy, inexpensive, healthy, and satisfying – and the perfect thing to make from leftovers, too! I call this “Mexican Soup,” but it’s rather inauthentic. It’s loosely based on tortilla soup, […]
I’ve attempted many white bean soups in the past, but none so delicious as this Bean and Bacon Soup. I look forward to eating it and its leftovers, something I can say about none of the other bean soups I made in the past. It […]
Since I don’t like eggs, cheese, or tofu, vegetarian food in my house typically involves beans in some form or fashion. I haven’t been very creative with them. I can only have lentil soup or chili or chickpeas and sweet potatoes so often, even though I love […]
We make pancakes ridiculously often, and this recipe for super easy pancakes is the recipe we use on a regular basis. Alex and I both have it memorized. I love how simple it is – just whisk together the ingredients and cook. No whipping egg […]
Last summer, I finally returned to iced coffee as my afternoon/lunch break treat. And for that, I love this Cold-Brew Iced Coffee Concentrate. It’s just so easy to make ahead, and then I can have coffee whenever I want! Some days I just need something […]
I finally wised up and stopped making so many cookies and baked goods to ship to friends and family for the holidays. In 2015, I started making these fudgy bourbon balls as one of my food gifts. In every package I send, I give a […]
My breakfast is boring, and has been for a while. I have a bowl of oatmeal every morning. Since having Amelia, I stick with old-fashioned oats over quick oats since they have the better texture. I love steel cut oats, but they take too long […]
Honestly, I’m in a cooking rut. For every delicious dessert I write about (and I don’t even write about those frequently nowadays), there’s several evenings’ worth of dinner that I’m not interested in cooking. I can’t make a weekly dinner plan to save my life […]
I’ve tried a few different recipes for baked beans in the past before coming across this recipe for Slow Cooker Baked Beans. The other recipes I tried were all disappointing – mainly, they had no flavor. Another gripe that I had – so many traditional recipes […]
It’s been longer than I’d like to admit since I last posted a recipe here. I haven’t stopped cooking. It’s simply that I hadn’t made much until December that I had to write about, and we all know how busy December can be. To motivate […]
I’m Leona. My superpowers are keeping my family stocked with cookies, and eating those cookies.
Thanks for joining me here for some of my favorite recipes! Mostly sweets, of course, but sometimes I bake bread and make other things, too.
