Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Cauliflower Soup
Soup season has arrived and this one's definitely going to warm your bones. There's snow storms and unseasonably cold temperatures just about everywhere in the north now, and I've been ready to dig into a bowl of soup all week.

Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Soup
This is as good as comfort food gets in a bowl! Using the bacon fat until the last drop to our advantage to flavor the jalapeno peppers and the soup itself. At the end we take an immersion blender to the base of the soup to emulsify the liquids and fats together - creating a velvety, creamy, and delicious mixture that doesn't separate. The thyme, celery seed, onion and garlic really work wonders in this soup - so make sure you don't leave them out! The cumin comes along just toward the end of ...

Bacon Avocado Muffins
When you think of muffins you generally reminisce on the overly sweet, sugar-laden pastries you can buy in the coffee shop. You don't usually see yourself eating a savory muffin, especially one that's stuffed full of avocado and bacon. Especially not me. I never used to be much of a fan of avocados growing up (even though I had a tree), but recently found a new love for them - and can't seem to get enough of them anymore. These keto muffins are absolutely awesome. You know when you wake up a ...

Raspberry Brie Grilled Waffles
I've always been a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, and this takes the cake for being one of the best I've had. These are decadent enough to be served as a full blown main course, or just to impress someone significant in your life for breakfast. No matter what course you serve it as, your guest will be super impressed with what you were able to accomplish. This is a common rarity among foodies, and is always enjoyed by everyone I serve them to. You can use other fruits in this if you're not ...
