What are you eating/doing today? (Monday)

Good morning everyone.  The insomnia bug is back (@#^&*).  Actually had an OK visit with the inlaws last night, which hardly ever happens.  Came home with some awesome leftovers, which means less cooking for me - hooray.

Today it's swimming, total body toning Zumba (this hurts so good), errands, household drudgery, nap, dinner and an early night to bed.

Your soup sounds delicious!

Karen the soup is so delicious- expensive but worth it.  I just begin with onions and celery in a huge pot and then add tons of veg - always cauliflower that I break down as everything comes to a boil.  Carrots - mushrooms - stewed tomatoes zuchinni etc etc.  I grill the steak and then cut it up into the soup.  I do not add potatoes or other starchy veg or pasta.  TB of shaved parm on top and voila.  ( I dont add salt - enough in the stewed tomatoes - lots of fresh ground pepper)

Damn that sounds awesome. I have a bunch of tomatoes from the garden to get using, I'm seeing a similar thick "soup" on my menu this week. I bought a cauliflower yesterday to make some cauli mash, but will definitely save some for this.

I bought 4 last week when they were on for 99 cents. We ate grilled cauliflower for days. LOL  I still have some in the fridge and I will just throw it back on the grill to get it nice and crispy again.  I've made Barb's soup a few times and it is really good.  Am sure we make it slightly different but still similar, very very good.  Love it in the winter.

Also want to mention that I add only a few carrots as they have high sugar.  I want this soup to be delish but low in calories, high in protein and not too bad in the carb or sugar stats.  I also add fresh herbs - dried if thats all I have on hand.  Mostly italian style

Yum that sounds amazing.

Welcome back, Tanya! I was wondering where you'd gotten to - I hope you had a great few days away.

"Back on the horse" - that's what we do. :)
