So I Married A Baker

IMG_9557-2Blog

Me [while eating this yogurt + Oh’s snack]: “Hey Kanz, can you bring home a Saturday loaf of sourdough or cheddar garlic to go with the soup I’m making?”IMG_9536Blog

Him: “They all just went out the door to the food bank.”

Me: “Oh. Hmm. What else do you have?”

Him: “I could just make some new dough and bake it there?”

Me: “YES!”

IMG_9539-2Blog

Freshly baked bread, yes please! I was in a total dough mood.

IMG_9542-2Blog

Meanwhile, I was working a version of my Minestrone Soup

IMG_9538-2Blog

Roasted veggies + wagon wheels + garbanzo beans + tomatoes + canned green beans. The soup, which was supposed to be pasta + veg floating in broth, turned into pasta + veg in a sauce. Matt ate it with a fork! No problem though, it was good.

IMG_9552-2Blog

We both also agreed that we love canned green beans and should eat them more often. They taste buttery even though there’s no butter around!

IMG_9558-2Blog

So about that bread…oh boy oh boy oh boy was it good!! Doughy in the middle, crusty on the outside. Husband knows how to make bread!

IMG_9550-2Blog

We have TONS of leftovers, so you’ll be seeing this again!

IMG_9556-2Blog

Many of you asked “what’s next?” the night we finished LOST.

It’s been farrrrrr too long since we had our evenings free for things like reading and walking, so we’re not planning to start another show for a long time. In fact, we kind of want to watch all the commentary and special features on LOST first. But for now, we’re sticking our noses in books! Enders Game for him and Ahab’s Wife for me!

    I made your minestrone soup tonight too! 😛 I have made it multiple times in the past year – it is my favorite “veggie detox” meal after a weekend of restaurant eating!
    I never have enough broth either, though (perhaps because the pasta absorbs so much while it cooks), so I usually add at least a cup of water prior to adding the pasta (I use elbow macaroni!), and I will often add a mix of water and broth to the leftover servings on a bowl-to-bowl basis. Delish! Love this soup 🙂 roasting the veggies first makes it sooo tasty!

    Once LOST was over I watched the whole Battlestar Galactica series. Most people don’t think they will like it because its Sci-Fi, but its really good, and the story is about the characters, not only space stuff. LOST and Battlestar Galactica are my two favourite tv series. You should also check out Breaking Bad and Dexter.

    I made Minestrone soup today too. We like it served on top of a delicately browned piece of polenta( aka corn meal mush). My husband is southern through and through and he always crumbled his corn bread in homemade vegetable soup so I took it a step farther and made polenta to put in the soup. It is fabulous. But we like anything. Probably won’t win any awards for healthy or proper but we don’t care when it’s soup time.

    clearly i’ll be trolling the bakeries for eligible bachelors tomorrow… 🙂
    i had a very kerf-inspired breakfast this morning: greek yogurt with “fried” (microwaved) apples, cinnamon, and walnut granola. it was fantastic!

    i’ve really been wanting to try overnight oats (i haven’t found a way i like oatmeal yet, but i’m not giving up!), but i have a couple questions…
    it’s ok to leave the chia seeds out as long as i leave the liquid on the lower side, right?
    what is the point of the banana? i usually eat a banana before my evening workout, so i don’t really want another one.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      April 23, 2012 at 8:54 pm

      Yes you can omit the chias. Just do equal parts oats, milk and yogurt. The banana is for bulk and sweetness but you can certainly leave it out

    I’m totally not a regular commenter so the fact that I’m leaving two in one day is unheard of for me but I was just reminded by this post! My boyfriend and I took a “daycation” to Charlottesville the other weekend for shopping and wine tasting and we also stopped in at GH. We ended up buying four loaves of bread because all of them sounded too delicious! We agreed that the garlic cheddar was by far the best bread we’ve ever had! That bread alone was totally worth the hour and a half trip 🙂

    Hey Kath, Love your blog and have been a reader for awhile now. I am a fellow RD/blogger as well. Your soup looks absolutely delicious! But I just wanted to point out one thing about the canned green beans…. In the past couple of years there has been more and more uncovered about BPA and canned foods. Luckily many food companies are going/will go BPA free. Canned green beans and soups tested positive for the highest levels of BPA, see consumer reports link: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/december-2009/food/bpa/what-we-found/bisphenol-a-what-we-found.htm. So using fresh or frozen (like in your previous recipe) would likely be better/safer, especially since you are pregnant. A list of BPA free canned goods/brands can be found here- http://inspirationgreen.com/bpa-lined-cans.html. So sorry to be a downer but just wanted to pass on the info that I think is important. Look forward to more posts, pics and recipes from you and hope your pregnancy continues to go well! 🙂 Marie

    Kath, You’ve got me hooked on House Hunters and House Hunters International! It was on the other day and I thought of you so I watched it. Love it! I know its kind of fake (as the home owner has to be under contract…so they obviously know which house they are buying) but its still fun to see different homes in areas I’ve never visited.

    PS that bread looks amazing, i would not be safe around bread like that, i would be getting up in the middle of the night to raid the bread basket! Your soup/pasta looks delicious, where do you keep finding inspiration for new recipes or do you just throw it all in and see what happens?

          Here’s how they make it: 1) grill jalapenos, cut into slices, put one pepper into the bottom of a pint glass 2) fill with ice 3) pour white tequila in until the liquid level is at the 3/4 mark 4) pour triple sec in until 90% mark 5) top with limeaid type margarita mixture. Done!

          This is all coming directly from a bartender telling/showing me how to make it.

    I just finished Ender’s Game and loved it. It was great. I highly recommend Divergent by Veronica Roth. I liked it as much as I liked The Hunger Games. Really good.

    For TV shows, I recommend Doctor Who (my favorite show of all time), The Hour, Downton Abbey, and Sherlock (BBC). You might also like Battlestar Galactica.
