Last night was crazy. I finished work at 5:30, hadn't showered, and had a meeting at school at 7:00. And had to get DS home from school in between and dH was changing the oil on his car.
I tossed fresh and frozen veggies in with some NoChicken Stock (the best veggie stock eeeeeever), a can of diced tomatoes, put some quinoa on to go in it later and got in the shower. (sautéed the onions and other veggies first). It was surprisingly yummy. It was a bit of a stone soup. I had one zucchini, two handfuls of carrot sticks, fresh bagged green beans and the last of a bag of frozen corn. I added some milk near the end. It was a very, very hearty soup. DH made a few slices of parm toast to serve with it.
I need to remember this as an option more than I do on nights that are busy.
