yesterday i made a vegetable pasta bake with fried courgette, leeks, mushrooms, roast garlic, onions, red pepper, butternut squash and carrots. also made a tomato sauce and put some pieces of mozzarella in amongst the pasta.
i overdid the amount of pasta the first time around and shall make a smaller version later : ]
I don't think I ever shared it, but I made tomato soup. Most tomato soup I've seen is just tomatoes, but I found one that used garlic and carrots and then pureed it all. And it was amazing. The carrots and tomatoes were from my garden. I ripped out my tomato plants and I didn't want to have a ton of tomatoes lying around so I made soup with them! Some of the tomatoes were so meaty!
I made pumpkin soup today! I usually hate cooking, but pumpkin soup is always so delicious that I actually started making it feeling excited. Sadly my feelings toward preparing food returned to normal very soon. The soup turned out great though.
I made homemade applesauce! It was actually really easy and fun to alter and add things to! I just kept it simple with apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon for my first time.
6 apples - cored, peeled and cubed
1 cup of water
4 tablespoons of sugar
Dash of cinnamon
And you just boil it on the stovetop til it gets soft and either mash or immersion blender it (what I did).
I'm very curious if I can lower the sugar level and see how it tastes. I'll try 2 tablespoons next time and see how that goes. Adding nutmeg or cloves would be nice to try too. Or go to bulk barn and splurge on cardamom.
I made chicken noodle soup in my culinary arts class today! I'm vegetarian so I didn't try any, but my group members told me it turned out really well!
