Adjusting soup on the fly

March 5, 2024

What do I mean by adjusting soup on the fly? Good question. I made a pot of vegetarian chili in the Instant Pot the other day and had it for dinner. It was not my best attempt at soup or chili. I think I put too much broth in. It was not as thick as I expect chili to be. Maybe it was because I didn’t add any meat but I’m pretty sure I’ve made vegetarian chili before and it was fine. I ate a bowl of the chili and stuck the remainders in the refrigerator. Then the next day I made a pot roast for a family dinner. I made it in the Instant Pot as well. Basically the pot roast consisted of chuck roast (beef), potatoes...

Kale Chips and The Trouble with Indigo

March 5, 2024

Fit and Strong, Food and Drink

Kale Chips are Delicious! I found my favorite way to enjoy kale. Perhaps you've tried it in a salad, or wilted in a soup with lots of vegetables. That is two different ways that I enjoy eating kale. But by far, my favorite way is by turning kale into kale chips. It's a great light crunch snack. I feel that they are a better crispy, crunchy snack than potato chips. Kale chips are very easy to make. I bought a giant bag of kale which was already in smaller pieces. If you bought kale in big giant pieces there is an important step to cut out the large center rib of the piece of kale. Even when you cook the center rib, the texture is so much different...

Salad - Eating a Rainbow of Colors in My Meals

My Way of Eating a Rainbow of Colors in My Meals

February 18, 2024

Fit and Strong

I've been working on eating a rainbow of colors in my meals since 2024 began. Most of the rainbow meals look like a soup or a salad. I've noticed that my occasional baked potato needs some healthy foods and color added, because white just isn't part of the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet mix! I find myself referring to our Eating the Rainbow download tracker to see if I'm hitting the rainbow each day. Soup This is my lunchtime rainbow soup last Friday which was my recent attempt at “eating the rainbow.” It is a vegetable soup started with 8 cups of water and adding a frozen bag of stir fry veggies with a can of garbanzo beans, a can of diced tomatoes, some slow cooker...
