Re: you know it's bad

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