Adorkable rockstar!
I made a rice noodle soup with trader joe's garlic rice noodle kit, steamed vegetables and lots of extra spices. Pretty good and easy.
Feel better soon!Not much tonight because I don't feel good
Not much tonight because I don't feel good, just munching on leftovers from dinner a couple of nights ago:
It's a lemon dijon quinoa pasta salad that a friend got from Global Vegetarian and the first time I've ever tried quinoa! I was impressed and really liked it. I've not been a vegetarian that long but I'm finding that there are tons of great recipes and foods is you just open your mind a little.
- 4 cups cooked penne pasta
- 2 cups cooked quinoa (2/3 cup uncooked should give you 2 cups of cooked)
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 2 cups French beans or green beans (cut into approx 2 inch long pieces)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen edamame
- 1/2 red or sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup sliced sun dried tomatoes in olive oil OR sun dried tomato pesto
- 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 Tbs dijon mustard
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
I'm making a vegetable and butternut squash curry with coconut milk.
That sounds very nice.I have to give quinoa another try.
Hope you feel better soon.x

For me, recipes are nearly always just a guideline. Even when baking something where proportions are key I really have to force myself to stick to the measurements on the page. I think mostly, I read and save recipes just to give myself new ideas and spark creativity. I think my favorite part of this little beetloaf concoction was being able to utilize kale scraps that would otherwise have been discarded. Frugality, for the win!It sounds delicious. I also love making up my own recipes.![]()
