I'll be posting some pictures of my new room once I finish de-junking, re-organizing everything (it's an embarrassing disaster zone), and finishing a few projects for it.
While I haven't been doing so good at keeping up with all of my goals I set in my last blog post, I did
I've been keeping up for the most part with my Kitchen Goals.
I wanted to share with you my take on Easy Eats' - Roasted Red Pepper and Quinoa Soup
I played around with the recipe a bit and this is what I came up with. And I loved it!
Roasted Red Pepper and Quinoa Soup
Roast the following
tossed mixture at 375 F for 45 minutes:
3 red peppers, cut into squares
2 Roma tomatoes, wedged
2 large garden tomatoes (I would have subbed for 4 Roma [around 6-7 total]…this is
just what I had on hand)
½ medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Sprinkle of basil and oregano and red pepper flakes as
desired
Add with Roasted
mixture to soup pot:
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
Puree with immersion
blender until desired consistency
Add and simmer for 15
minutes:
1 cup cooked quinoa
Add 1 c. Cream (or
milk for a healthier option)– play with the ratio until it is as you desire
Garnish with a bit of Feta or grated Monterrey Jack cheese
and serve!
Tastes even better the next day!
I also have a few other new recipes I've been working on that I'll be sharing with you soon!
