Everyday yumminess!

Inspired by some Naan that was picked up yesterday at the grocery I sauteed up some onion, mushrooms, carrot, broccoli, and spinach and placed it inside the Naan (gently warmed under the broiler) with some swiss cheese. This are the days that just make me glad to be a vegetarian. Lovely and wonderful.

Freezer Stock Paying Off

As the snow piles up outside I have renewed thankfulness for my Freezer Stocking Soup Tour as I have some the ease of pulling out corn chowder from the freezer.

Dinner seems to be all about comfort food (Breakfast for Dinner mindset) with white peppered gravy over biscuits, sprinkled with shredded cheddar and french fried onion and two Morning Star "sausage" patties (I love the maple flavored ones). Completed with some hashbrowns and canned mandarin orange slices. (Seems only fitting since breakfast was a vegetable eggroll.)

Lovely

I love being able to share some of the interesting and often inspiring things I find along the way. I hope this inspires you!

Freezer Stock - The Soup Tour Continues: Broccoli Cheese and a "Sink" Soup

So the Stock The Freezer - Soup Tour 2011 continues as I made a homemade broccoli cheese soup tonight for dinner (very yum!) with a recipe I improvised along the way. (I looked through a few different recipes before hand, got an idea for how other make it, contemplated what I liked about some of those recipes and what I had one hand, then experimented in my own.) The extra was bagged, labeled, and put in the freezer. The second of tonight, "Sink" soup, is simmering on the stove as I type... a vegetable soup that I derived the name from the idea of "every but the kitchen sink." (I haven't come up with a better name yet.) I keep a tub in the freezer where I collect bits of leftover or last bits of stuff to use up such as rice, vegetables, veggie broth, mushrooms, beans, or vegetarian gravy. These can be roasted, sauteed, steamed, or raw. When the container (and in this case a small freezer bag) are full I cook them down into a lovely soup, that has the house smelling quite nice right now. It's a great way to use up leftovers and have a wonderful soup full of texture, tastes, and overall yumminess. I love having soups, stews, and chowders in the freezer in individual servings. Convenient and I know what went into them.

And for you viewing pleasure and to go with ongoing theme (I keep finding these gems that just are begging to be shared) I found a Classic Sesame Street - Captain Vegetable. Enjoy!

Update!

UPDATE: Still cooking when I can. Dating a vegetarian (now there IS a new one) and have been for a few months now. Survived Christmas. Almost couldn't find vegan Worcestershire sauce for the Chex mix (thankfully, I found Annie's brand at my local Meijer). Explored some new holiday main dish ideas, keeping the Vegetable Wellington for Thanksgiving, but made a mini spinach and portabella mushroom mix inside a puffed pastry (inspired by the Greek spanakopita) with a bit of onion, garlic (of course), and cheese. I have extras of both in the freezer. New computer (the old one crashed, it will be missed).


Now, for something to remind me (or us as the case may be) that we are not alone. There are more of us then some would like us to think. :-) Enjoy!

Something fun.

Something to, hopefully, make you smile.
