im sooo craving for some squash soup now! =P
it's too much work to make though. so i'm just going to skip it. haha.
not sure if it's because i'm seeing lots of pumpkins and squashes aroud now, but i'm craving for them >.<
starchy veggies!!my aunt makes this absolutely wonderful stir-fried sweet potatoes dish.
just chop the sweet potatoes into really small cubes.
fry them in butter on low heat until it starts to get burnt (caramelized).

it's a decent suggestion ! ...
I finished a bit of it but gave the rest away before I came back ....
it tasted rather nice actually .... very "herby" ... slightly sweet, I think cos of the box fruit I put in ......
and builds up a good "inner fire" ....

i don't like 'herb-y' stuff >.<
though there is a certain type of chicken that is cooked in a lot of chinese herbs that i'll eat. but other than that....i don't drink herb-y stuff >.< haha

My favourite recipe for winters, cold nights. A pot of piping hot soup with garlic or crusty bread to dip in! Yum!
Minestrone Soup
Recipe serves 2 - 3 generously.
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium potato, diced
- 2 small sticks celery, chopped (love the tops for the veggies, the bottom for the sweetness)
- Half a carrot,diced
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dred basil
- 1 chicken/veggie stock cube
- 3 cups water
- Salt & Pepper to taste
*Note: You can also use McCormicks' Italian herbs found at most Supermarkets in place of the herbs above. Use 1 tbsp.
- Heat olive oil, then add onions and garlic. Sweat for 3 - 5 min or until onions are transparent.
- Add poatoes, celery, carrot and stir fry for 5 min, allowing the flavouring to mingle and oils to infuse.
- Dump in can of diced tomatoes, stir for 2 min.
- Add 3 cups water, stock cube, herbs, salt and pepper, and cover for 45 - 50 min to boil under low to medium heat.
- Taste periodically to ensure flavours and saltiness is well-balanced and add salt and pepper as needed. Stir periodically to ensure proper distribution.
- Serve with garlic bread, or any crusty bread!
Very yummy.
Esp sitting outside the front porch or balcony with a bowl of soup during those chilly nights. PHWOAR!

meat's so much more expensive than veggies T.T
like...i can get a pound of turnips for 50 cents. but meat...will cost almost $3 per pound...zzzzzzzzz....
and!! sweet potatoes are $1/pound!!! =D =D =D on special this week. im getting LOTS. heehee. YAY!!~ then cooking then all. then putting them in the fridge. then re-frying/microwaving whenever i feel like having it =D
-
are you living by yourself now ? .....
it's important to eat meat, especially in pluto, for the "inner fire" .....
-
errr...my mom is no longer here. if that's what u mean by 'myself'. haha
no need to eat meat lah -.-
i know so many vegans here. tsk.
i'm going to make veggie and bean stews. lots of it. they freeze well too!!
haha. on lazy days, just throw into the pot and let it boil.all i need is a non-lazy day where i'll bother to make the food >.<
but i will still buy ground beef to fry up my own medium-rare burgers!!
-
Hehe,
veggies are cheap.
Meat's good too, but I've never heard of a meaty minestrone.
A coupla' days ago Coles was selling corn on discount $2 for 5. I got 10, for $4! Yay! Going to fire up the barbie and make some roasted corn, some grilled veggies, maybe a grilled chicken or two for the friends who pop by.
Maybe make some yummy chinese Corn soup with those swirls of egg. For the vegans out there the egg comes from the vegan egg powder you get at health food shops. For the meat eaters, just a normal egg will do.
