Some of the meals I forgot to post about

I didn't get everything posted we at this week.  Here are a couple that I managed to photograph anyway.
This the potato soup.
I cooked this in the crock pot.  It was mushrooms, onion, celery, a couple handfuls of cashews and potatoes and a carton of Trader Joe's Hearty Vegetable Broth and enough water to cover with salt and pepper.  When the potatoes were tender I put it though the vitamix until creamy.  I topped it with the Apple Sage Vegan sausage by Field Roast and some fresh chopped parsley.  It was very yummy and my favorite meal this week.


And then the last of the chard - again.  The husband sauteed some onion and garlic and then added the last bit of chard to it.  Cooked up some polenta and layered it polenta -card-polenta in a caserole dish and baked for 10 min. at 350 degrees.  This was actually very good and our favorite way to eat the chard all week.  But really, we had chard half the week and we were rather tired of it.

We also had the "I have no idea what else to do, let's have spaghetti" dinner this week.  The girl child made garlic bread with the bread from the co-op, olive oil, minced garlic and nutritional yeast.  And I made a fruit salad by cutting up the last orange, the last few strawberries and a banana and squeezing the juice of half a lemon over it all.

Yes, spaghetti is my fall back dinner.  That and what I call my random veggie soup.  Random veggie soup is for the end of the week and I have too many veggies left over, which doesn't happen if I am actually cooking.  Spaghetti is that food I cook when fresh veggies are starting to get a bit sparse or I am feeling rather clueless.  It will also crop up the night before pizza if I get a specific request of that from the girl child.
