I’ll be the first to admit I sometimes get stuck in a cooking rut, making the same dishes over and over. While that’s easy and practical, it can be dull! I love to look at other people’s recipes on their blogs and pin boards, adding them to my “Have to Cook Eventually” file. Well, today is that day! Here are two recipes for a nice soup & salad meal that I’ve been wanting to try:
Chicken, avocado, and spicy peppers? Sounds delicious to me! I found this unique recipe on Imperfectly Frugally—a blog I LOVE that’s full of good tips, frugality, and recipes.
I like that this recipe is basic and can be made simply or added onto. I’m probably going to incorporate some onion and garlic and maybe some frozen corn too, depending on my mood. Either way, it should be really good.

I have learned so many money-saving and sewing tips here and I love reading everyone’s “Frugal Accomplishment” comments.
In addition to the soup and salad, croissants will be on the menu. (These were part of a gift basket and oh my, they’re tasty! I love them with butter/jam for breakfast. Very high in calories and fat due the butter content, but nice for a special treat.)
What’s cooking in your kitchen?
Yum, those croissants look delicious!!
Total calorie bomb but very yummy!
This pasta soup keeps catching my attention every time I visit your site. I’m going to make a gluten free version using quinoa pasta. Ill let you know how it turns out.
I would be really interested if you do make it to hear the outcome. I have tried gluten free pasta before and didn’t really like it. Never tried the quinoa pasta. It would be great for Passover if it’s tasty. Very unique idea and thanks for sharing.
