We had a full day today, and I think I may have inadvertently gotten a little dehydrated. I got home, and just could not focus on throwing supper together. All I could think of was "I wish I could get takeout"... but then I snapped out of it, and remembered that I am trying to TRIM the budget, not spend extra!
So I quickly took stock of the food in the house, and here's what I came up with:
Rolls with butter
Creamy green vegetable soup (saute
onions and
garlic in
olive oil. put any
green vegetables you have in the pot, and add
water to cover. I used green beans, peas, spinach, and kishuim - those special Israeli zucchini-like summer squash. Bring to a boil, then remove from flame and puree with an immersion blender. Add
salt and
pepper to taste, and add
milk if you want. Gently reheat. This soup can also be served chilled, but it was so late I didn't have time to chill it!)
Ptitim with vegetables: saute
onion,
garlic, and
whatever vegetables you need to use up - I used cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, and green peppers, preferably in a cast iron skillet. Add
whole wheat ptitim, and toast in the skillet for a couple of minutes. Add
liquid to cover - I used
water and tomato juice. Stir and cover the skillet. cook over low and stir occasionally. add
seasonings to taste.
Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies
