One Tray, One Dream

Once a week I do a produce refresh for my lunches and dinners and I wrote about it here.

Today I'm gonna go a little more in depth with regard to what landed on my table from that one cooking session. And please don't think this is how you have to cook, not in any way, I'm simply sharing the possibilities that come with making a tray of veggies and how they can have use in your day and meals beyond a simple side eaten as is. This is inspiration. A recommendation. Maybe some motivation.

Veggies can be used to create the base for a multitude of meals (at least in my single lady world)

When Last Sunday's Soup Is Tonight's Dinner

This spicy veggie powered soup is littered with a lot of goodness and not for the faint of heart in the kitchen.

You can make it as simple or complex as you want and I’m gonna roll out what I did to make this masterpiece in 3 separate posts.

Today’s post: the recipe and info on SOUP ONLY
In the coming days: a recipe for baked tofu which can be added to this soup and is another great weeknight make ahead staple
Also in the coming days: a spicy yogurt sauce for the soup and to be used to top grains, salads, roasted veggie, etc

Now … On with the soup …

Christmas Carrots + How To Dress 'Em Up

Want a quick holiday side that you can make ahead? 2 words rainbow carrots.

Rainbow carrots will fill your holiday table or family salad with color. Simple to prepare and a gift that keeps on giving they're deliciously sweet when roasted. Plain roasting has always been my thing, that way I can make a veggie sing afterwards.
