Homemade is Better
Today I want to share with you a very simple recipe for a very comforting, delightful dish – Creamy Sausage and Potato Soup. I planned on calling it “Creamy Sausage and Vegetable Soup” as it also has onion, garlic, carrots, and spinach in it. But Creamy Sausage and Potato just […]
Hello there! I am so excited to welcome you back to the blog as we welcome a new season. It is getting noticeably cooler outside, and I am so excited. Fall is my favorite season for two main reasons – it brings the absolute best weather to Virginia, and combined […]
