when it's 3:30...and i'm already dreaming of dinner.

Oh my goodness.. I am right there with you.

I called Mr.209 at 10am to see what his plans were for tonight, and to tell him what was for dinner.   ;-)  Ha ha...

What are you making?

I had a bit of ice cream last night after dinner and I thought I was going to die of bliss. I cannot do the South Beach diet anymore, it's killing me. So just eating healthy and watching calories/portions will have to do.

homemade tomato basil soup, and grilled cheeses. YUMMMMMMM.

plus, i get to use my immersion blender, which makes me giddy like a child.

I cannot eat tomato soup. Just can't. Something about it triggers my gag reflex.

askmetostay

weird! i actually kinda hate tomatoes, and think ketchup is NASTY....but with some herbs and garlic and cheese? do it to it.

Lauren209

I'm fixing grilled lemon pepper tilapia, brown rice, broc., and salad.

not at all

chop up half an onion really finely, i just toss it in the chopper.

cook that in a few teaspoons of olive oil for about 3 minutes

chop up a carrot the same way, add it to the onions and cook about 5 more minutes.

add a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes...we've used fire roasted with garlic, and diced with basil and oregano.  but i like tomato-basil soup the best.

fill the empty can with vegetable broth, or chicken broth, and add it to the pot.

bring it to a simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes

season with salt, pepper, garlic, herbs...whatever you want.

immersion-blend it until it's the texture you like.

it would be fine this way, but i add a half cup of cream to make it even more delish.

and then i top it with a little shredded italian cheese.

it's super easy, super fast..and YUMMMM

DH loves his.  Loves it.  Best christmas present ever (I'll probably never top it).   Hope the soup turned out well - it sounds delish!
