Potato soup!

+ medium potato
+ small onion
+ fresh garlic (I’m using two big cloves, I love garlic!)
+ small tomato
+ zucchini, sliced
+ baby carrots, diced
+ oregano, black pepper
+ lemon juice
+ vegetable broth
+ chili pepper flakes*
+ butter + olive oil

Wash the potato and dice it (I leave the skin on), fry in a little bit of butter and olive oil (or opt for one or the other) for 5~10 minutes on med-low heat. Add oregano.
Pour in a bit of broth, just enough to almost cover the potatoes and cook for an additional ten minutes (I like my potatoes SOFT, like break-apart-once-my-fork-catches-you soft). Skip this step if you don’t want it so soft. *optional I added some chili pepper flakes at this point because I like it spicy!*
Add veggies+tomato and fry for another five minutes
Add broth and garlic (adding the garlic in later because I want to taste it, you can add it in at the same time as the veggies if you don’t want it as strong). Let boil for 20~30 minutes
Squeeze some lemon juice in if you’d like and sprinkle some cracked, black pepper.

I served it with some salad, sauerkraut and a slice of tuna melt! Yummy~
Also, I’m not adding salt because there is enough in the both, you can always add some in if you’d like though.

Dandelion soup, Filomena style:

+ garlic
+ chili pepper flakes
+ cooked dandelion
+ mushrooms
+ white kidney beans
+ baby carrots
+ red onion
+ one small tomato/person
+ dried oregano
+ lemon juice
+ vegetable broth (or any to your liking)
+ egg*
+ Parmesan cheese*

Chop garlic and fry in olive oil for a minute or two on medium, sprinkle chili pepper flakes. Add chopped onion, cook for another minute.
add chopped carrots and white kidney beans. Fry for 5~10 minutes (depending on how soft you like your beans). Add dried oregano.
add chopped mushrooms and tomato, fry for an addition 2 minutes
add broth and boil for 10 minutes (my broth was already hot when I poured it in, you may need addition time if you add cool broth)
Add cooked dandelion (I used dandelion that I boiled earlier. We plant a bunch and then boil them and freeze them for later use)
in a bowl, beat an egg. Raise the temperature of the soup to high and wait for the broth to bubble. Once it bubbles, SLOWLY add the beaten egg to the soup. I use a spoon/fork to spread the egg by brushing it back and forth over the edge of the bowl while I slowly tip it.
turn off the heat once the egg is cooked and squeeze some lemon juice in. Add a little and taste, if you’d like more you can always add more
sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you’d like
serve with crusty bread and make your tummy smile!

*omit these to make it vegan

If you’re not a fan of dandelion (:O~!) kale would be a great alternative!

Veggie pizza on whole wheat nan bread. Stir fried cabbage and veggies with kale. As you can see, I have a major green veggie bias.

I’ve been eating this a lot lately. Grilled veggies thrown in a bowl with crisp romaine hearts and crumbled flax seed tortilla chips. Definitely hits the spot!

Homemade fruit tarts! Yep, it’s good to have me around. ^3^

I speak better with food than I do words. These are my lets-stop-fighting-and-be-friends-again tarts. heh First time whipping cream and I completely understand why some of you sweet makers have toned arms!

Used this recipe, tweaked it a bit… because I don’t measure anything and like to switch things up. ><

Ever heard of Tofu Pizza? Yeah me either, but while reading my google feeds, Amuse Your Bouche had posted this lovely surprising fellow and I just HAD to try it. It is super yummy!

The only thing I added was flax seeds and replaced bread crumbs with panko. Just omit the cheese (or replace it with vegan cheese) and you got yourself a super yummy vegan meal!

Have left over spaghetti and don’t know what to do with it? I urge you to try making spaghetti frittata… ABSOLUTELY YUMMY. First time making it and it turned out SO well. Idea from this youtube channel. I of course, changed it since I’m not a meat eater and didn’t have the proper cheese.

I used old spaghetti with tomato sauce, heated and added my egg micture of parm. cheese, asparagus and mushrooms. I added cayenne pepper and garlic also. SUPPPPER delicious!!

Served with dandelion root and white kidney beans.

I had 15 minutes in the morning to prepare a meal that would last me today (longest school day). Solution, something packed with fibre and protein = edamame!

Edamame cooked with red bell pepper and garlic. One scrambled egg. :-)
