Looking forward

No time to cook today so some ideas of things to come:




  • Cream of mushroom soup in the slow cooker. Basically, mushroom stock with whole mushrooms, run through the blender with cream added.


  • All-vegetable stew in the slow cooker. One batch will serve two meals: once with added beans and rice pasta for a high-protein kicker and once in a pot pie.


  • Risotto, with some variants like paella and a couscous tagine. Cook the quick-cook grains slowly for great flavor.


  • Lentils, specifically how to shape them into protein-packed sides for vegetable medleys.


  • Tomato sauce, which will be a research experiment for me as well as recipe gathering. We'll go through at least three different varieties to suit different purposes.


  • Quick and yeast breads. We've started there already but we'll get a little deeper into it.


Add in the stock wrap-up as we get a little closer to the end and we'll have all we need to face the world without meat!
