I made myself the best salad!  I tossed domain lettuce with a homemade lemon dill vinaigrette.  On top I put roasted beets, cucumber, marinated artichoke hearts, olives, chick peas, feta, and seared chicken breast.  Yum!

That sounds yummy!  I had a romaine, beets and cucumber ranch salad today at lunch and we were out of feta.  Yours sounds way more interesting!

My kinda salad.  Yum! 

Just had a big slice of leftover broccoli, ham and cheese quiche for breakfast.  We had steak and cheese subs last night.  Homemade, not purchased.  Kids love those.  I planned ot have 1/2 of one, and a salad, but ended up eating the whole thing.  Or as dd used to say as a toddler, "The whooole hing!"  Not a typo.
dd with peanut, tree nut and raw egg allergy

Lol. 

Last night I made that kale and apple soup.  It was wonderful.  It really does need yogurt or creme fraiche.  I don't think the marscapone would have had the right flavor.  I opted not to get it because of $$ and I knew we had yogurt at home. 

I also made this super easy Rotel Corn to go with it. It was not light, but it was really good and extremely easy and certainly qualifies as a candidate for the monthly church potluck (although I might have to change the Rotel:corn balance). 

I never serve corn as a dish--always in something So this was nice, even if corn is not such a great nutritional choice.  I used leftovers in DS' breakfast burrito this morning (egg, Rotel corn, spinach and cheese).

Oooh--meant to post tonight.  I'm going to make a relleno casserole.  Or maybe it's a tamale casserole. 

DH has a meeting at school, and DS is staying to help wtih tech.  DH will just take dinner to DS--so a casserole-type thing is good there.

The base is SUPER modifiable--you can pretty much throw in any soup-friendly veggies, at proportions of your choice.

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced (optional)
4 ribs celery, thinly sliced
6 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced
3 zucchini, unpeeled and thinly sliced
1 rutabaga, peeled and diced
4 medium tomatoes, peeled and diced (Or a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes)
2 bay leaves
2 1/2 quarts water
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Matzo balls, from your recipe of choice.
 
Heat oil in large pan. Add onions and garlic; saute until soft. Add celery, carrots, parsnips, zucchini and rutabaga; saute 10 minutes, stirring with wooden spoon. Add tomatoes, bay leaves and water.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer 1 hour, or until vegetables are tender and soup is thick. Remove and discard bay leaves. Then, with an immersion blender, blitz the whole thing into a thick broth with lots of little bits of vegetables. Bring back to a boil, and cook matzo balls in it.

Yield: About 12 servings.

Yum.  I will make this!  I love roasting veggies for blending for soups, too. Does such nice a nice thing for parsnips!

DH made a kale polenta the other night and made a salsa verde  for it. With some lime, it was all fireworks and wowza.   Sooooo good. I used the leftover salsa last night on some tamales we had frozen. It's not easy being green, but DH managed it very well!

Tonight I am stuffing chicken breasts with Brie and fig jam. Maybe finishing with a drizzle of balsamic.  Sides of mashed sweet potatoes and applesauce with lots of cinnamon.

Just needs cottage cheese :)

I was thinking of you while I made it!  Can't see it with cottage cheese, maybe a little sour cream and paprika.
