Hello and welcome to another month of Secret Recipe Club! We were off in December for the holidays, but now back in full swing. Members of the Secret Recipe Club are assigned a blog each month. Who has who is a secret until reveal day (today!). The mission is to choose a recipe from the…
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Ever since we moved to California, I have been completely obsessed with avocados. The avocados in Mississippi were always tiny, expensive, and either rock hard or (most often) completely rotten. The avos here are SO GOOD, so cheap and always perfectly ripe. It’s really dangerous. Like, when you eat 5 a day. Since the avocados…
Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Chowder
So, I’m totally not a carb-hater, but I do love veggies and I really love cauliflower. When I saw this Cauliflower Chowder– a low-carb alternative to Loaded Baked Potato Soup– I was swooning. Creamy, warm cauliflower soup studded with bacon and cheddar? Heck, yes! It sounded delicious, and even Nick was eager to try it…
Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings
Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to break out the stretchy pants until New Year’s resolutions roll around. It’s the most gluttonous wonderful time of the year! This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings is easy comfort food for a chilly evening of tree trimming or cookie baking, I love the time and…
Spicy Lentil and Kale Soup
Rarely do you find meat-free meals here at Flying on Jess Fuel, but today is an exception! A very, very delicious exception. And so hearty and filling that I promise you won’t even miss the meat. So how did I sneak a meat-free meal past that meatatarian hubby of mine, you ask? Well, I didn’t….
Mediterranean Chickpea Chili
Since Nick was in Austin for most of last week, I took it as an opportunity to make a meat-free meal. I have a long back-log of vegetarian and meat-free recipes that I’d love to try, but rarely do I get the chance since they don’t always go over big with the meatatarian. He’s pretty…
Hot & Sour Soup
Who gets a cold in the middle of a 90 degree week? This girl, apparently. I can hardly remember the last time I had a cold, nevermind the last time I had a please-just-kill-me-now-and-put-me-out-of-my-misery kind of cold. I blame 4 days of partying on vacation followed by 12 hours of traveling in enclosed spaces. In…
Lasagna Soup
I’m always really intrigued by recipes that take one food and transform it into a different food. Like buffalo chicken burgers, chicken tamale casserole, enchilada meatloaf, crab rangoon dip, carrot cake pancakes. You get the idea. There’s something fun about preparing a familiar food in a new and interesting way. Lasagna soup definitely fell into…
