  • Cooking this week

    I have been on a cooking binge the last week. Cooking things that I can freeze up later for lunches. As you know my current diet is rather restricted (vegetarian & radiation damage) but recently I've been able to add a bunch more foods. YAY!

    This first picture may not look very appetizing but it is so good!

    It is cauliflower soup. Made with only, cauliflower, onion, olive oil, water, salt & pepper. It tastes like a good potato soup broth. Happy with it. Next time ( and there will be a next time) I will replace half of the water with coconut milk, and use more cauliflower. It wasn't as thick as I would have liked.


    This is a crockpot soup. The main ingredients were cauliflower, red lentils and quinoa. There were a lot of ingredients in this. It came out quite nicely, except it's got a little bit of kick to it that I didn't want. I only used a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne but it's too much for someone being gentle on their innards.

    This was my breakfast yesterday. I cut up a banana and threw on a pack of hulled hemp seeds that I had been given. It was quite tasty, but that's not the reason you are seeing the picture. The camera on my phone has been acting funny for a week and it wasn't until this picture that I found the magic fix.

    I cleaned the lens!! I must have gotten some coffee or tea on it.

    Ah, this was the soup that started it all. I took all of these vegetables and chopped them up and tossed them with some olive oil and roasted them (30 minutes covered with parchment paper - 30 minutes without) 

    Then I threw all the roasted vegetables in a blender with the mushroom broth.

     

    The mushroom broth over powered everything else but it was still good. More importantly I had no problems eating it! Wasn't sick at all. :)

     

     

    Today for the first time in at least 14 days I skipped my morning workout. :(  I got up late and had to make a choice. Be late to work for the THIRD day in a row or skip it, so I skipped it. I would have felt more guilty if I had been late. Monday I was late by 10 minutes and Tuesday by 25. Aggravating.

     

    Off and running now.
