Green Reminds Me

Working hard on the blog!! I’ve been wanting to organize many of my most memorable posts for a while, and this project kept me completely mesmerized without a nod to the real world for hours this afternoon. I’ve only finished the Blog Events page – a Travel page is also in the works.

Can I say how fun and WEIRD it is to relive so much of my life this way!?

At 6:30 I realized we better start thinking about dinner. Thankfully I had a plan.

IMG_2978edited

Faith posted this photo of a soup made with leftover potatoes and tofu. We had the same 3 ingredients on our menu, so I decided to clone the recipe!

IMG_2990edited

We combined 2 cups of chicken stock with a heaping cup of leftover creamy rosemary mashed potatoes. Before long the potatoes were liquidy.

Then we added a huge bowl of kale

IMG_2967edited IMG_2969edited

And let that steam away.

Blenderized

IMG_2973edited

Into a nice soup base (I so just wanted to add granola to this and call it a night!!)

IMG_2976edited

But we had tofu and mushrooms too!

IMG_2971edited

Delicious Twin Oaks tofu – Italian Herb flavor and two big portabellas.Both were sautéed in some Garlic Gold oil and Worcestershire sauce.

IMG_2970edited

Garnished with some aged sharp cheddar and cracked black pepper – MADE the dish!! It was quite good!! Very hearty and voluminous. We were both fans!

IMG_2986edited

GREEN reminds me…of everything we did it blinds me…

IMG_2983edited

Hot lime water is actually quite delectable! I find lemons to be a bit harsh, but dare I say this was tastier than hot tea!?

IMG_2989edited

IMG_2977edited

After dinner we watched the movie Away We Go – cute! I loved Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character!!

Wrapping up another day. That is if I don’t get sucked back into my Travel page…

    This soup def reminds me of a green french onion soup. It looks just like the french onion soup served at Panera. I wonder if I could adapt the recipe… Hm…

    At our local Vietnamese place they make a wonderful lime tea with honey. It’s sweet and tart and so delicious, and it makes me appreciate limes over lemons any day.

    Hilarious. That soup looks delish!

      It is hands down the best blender I’ve ever used. SO powerful. SO thorough.

      Worth $400? Only if you use your blender a lot. I def. use mine MORE now that I have one.

    Aren’t green soups bizarre? Did it throw you off for a moment before you tasted it? I made some green soup (spinach and pumpkin) a few weeks back and it tasted completely different to how it looked! Although I don’t know what I expected “green” to taste like…

      It was warm because the potatoes + kale were steamed together.
