Dressing and sauces are what make the most average of meals exciting! At any given time, I have 3-4 homemade sauces with handwritten labels in my fridge. I always prep mine in wide mouth mason jars so I can use my hand blender instead of my big ol’ clunky blender cup. Growing up, I wasn’t […]

Another great “clean out the fridge” recipe: Vegetable Soup.  I encourage you to treat this more as a framework than a recipe. Use what you have and prepare for soul- warming goodness; ladled into a bowl. This soup is surprisingly hearty and perfect for those crisp fall days as the temperatures start to drop.
