Eat | Simple roasted vegetable soup

Eat | Simple roasted vegetable soup

The key to good eating is simple. In that for the most part it should be just that, simple. A soup seems like a lot of moving parts to make it from scratch but in essence what your doing is simple it just takes time.

The same is to be said about a roast vegetable soup. The biggest obstacle of course is the roast the vegetables first. I do this by part boiling the vegetables first and then…

Make your own cheese quesadilla

Grab a tortilla from the bread station. Add slices of cheese from the deli area (and shredded cheese, if available). Fold in half and put in the panini press. 

Variation:

If there are black beans, refried beans, or any sort of beans available, add that as well to make a black bean & cheese quesadilla.

Never again will I buy mayo....ever.

I've known for a while that you can sub mayo for greek yogurt (plain) but I hadn't tried it...until today.

I made tuna salad. 1 tuna packet, 2 spoons of greek yogurt, and one scoop of a thick artichoke relish/sauce I use for pizza. Mix mix mix and served on 2 pieces of toasted potato bread.

Dare I say, that was the best tuna salad I've made. The artichoke sauce was better than the usual relish and the yogurt gives a tangy bite without the heaviness of mayo. Yum!

I also poured a bowl of bean salad BUT I'm stuffed....I guess its back to the frig for the bowl...

The perfect, light lunch: wild sockeye salmon baked/steamed in little foil pockets of love.  Seasoned with lemon, rosemary, olive oil, and a bit of homemade garlic/thyme butter (I saved and froze up from last time).  Took me 30 minutes total, and barely any cooking! Served with warm, crusty bread with butter.

Baked shrimp scampi.  I have to admit, I love the butter-garlic topping more than the shrimp itself.  Definitely a mixture of ingredients worth writing down: butter, garlic shallots, parsley, rosemary, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon zest.  Sooo flavorful!
