When my kids were young it was also a great way to get them to eat the veggies they didn't really like. Once it was blended no-one could tell what was in it and they never bothered to ask. Walking's going well. Will get a few more kms in before the weather heats up again and will post totals at the end of the month along with everyone else. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711488622068046336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-29761239381534920162016-01-08T01:54:14.090+00:002016-01-08T01:54:14.090+00:00Hi,Ilona.Where would be be if we didn't have t...Hi,Ilona.Where would be be if we didn't have the weather to discuss,eh?I am quite affected by weather,even physically ,not just mood wise.I am known as the barometer in our home,tee-hee.I love soups of many kinds and yours looks very yummy.I gave my stick blender away,now wishing I had kept it.Happy hiking,whatevering, everyone,keep on moving!Bye for now,D.Destemonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-51131305597474775682016-01-07T23:48:44.594+00:002016-01-07T23:48:44.594+00:00Wow!

Got a couple more bowls left in the pot and then I think it will be lentils, veggies and ham. Got a ham-bone left from when ham was on sell several months ago. It's time to get it out of the freezer and make something with it.<br /><br />Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-30926609717125959062016-01-07T22:00:58.727+00:002016-01-07T22:00:58.727+00:00absolutely chucking down rain today but it magical...absolutely chucking down rain today but it magically eased as I set out on my bicycle. did 8.44 miles so that is 34.5 miles this week.

I make soup all the time, vats of it, so that on the day of making we always have a bowl and then I freeze the rest in two-person portions, for husband and myself. Made soup from turkey stock after Christmas with all that I could find in the veggie drawer in the fridge with the addition of lentils and a can of haricot beans rinsed and drained. Also made broccoli and blue cheese (not Stilton, but St Agur) the other day, and that was wonderful. Tomorrow it will be tomato and courgette. There are still several cartons to use in the freezer for days when I don't feeling like cooking, but I rarely not feel like soup-making! It's so easy, who more people don't do it, I don't know. <br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-85666466634017899062016-01-07T21:09:04.546+00:002016-01-07T21:09:04.546+00:00yep same here.

Baby spinach leaves are my current go to salad veggie. I hate a lot of cooked veggies like spinach and turnips but happen to love them raw - spinach leaves last forever in the fridge just like cabbage so I go between the two to make our salads. I rarely get them on sale but I have discovered that I can buy a large container from Costco for $4 bucks that lasts us weeks, so in the end a pretty frugal veggie if used right.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-63207856954717730492016-01-07T17:03:33.093+00:002016-01-07T17:03:33.093+00:00A great way to get all your greens.
