Soups are not only good for you but they are good for the soul. Nothing better than a big bowl of soup to cure what ails you! Fall soups are my favorite with their bright orange colors and warm soothing flavors. I love to sit down with family and friends to share one of my homemade soups. They are a must in our home for the holidays.

The Number 1 Way to Eat Leaner & Healthier

 ~::The Stone Soup::~

The other day, I was thinking I’ve never heard anyone say that eating vegetables is bad for you. Or that we really should be trying to eat less veg. Which is pretty remarkable.

ABOUT JULES: I’m a first and foremost a food lover who adores her veggies. The type of girl who plans her holidays around restaurant reservations.I’m equally happy spending 6 hours dining at the (former) best restaurant in the world as I am sitting on stools in a Brooklyn alleyway wolfing down Texas-style BBQ brisket.I also love cooking and simplicity. So I am constantly on the lookout for ways to make my cooking less complicated and time consuming without sacrificing flavour or wholesomeness.I have degrees in both food and wine science but I’m not a nerd, really. In January 2010, I packed in my day job as a chocolate biscuit designer for Australia’s largest biscuit company to become a full time blogger.

Zucchini Noodles & Avocado-Miso Sauce

 ~::Love & Lemons::~

I was on a raw (well raw-ish) kick last week. Lately, I’ve been trying to eat lighter, and a bit healthier… less heavy starches, that sort of thing.

ABOUT JEANINE (& JACK): Hi, my name is Jeanine. I’m a designer, healthy-food-maker, and all-around creative-kind. My husband Jack is a video game programmer, cheese lover, and the general household tech-support. In a lot of ways, we’re two people that couldn’t be more different. We started this blog because the one common interest we share is food. Whether we’re exploring cultures halfway around the world, checking out a new neighborhood restaurant, or experimenting in our own kitchen, we have the most fun together when food is involved. Also, after 11 years together, we just needed a new project to talk about.
