Andy has begun a new workout routine and diet. The diet calls for him to eat a ton of protein every day. So, we got a whole bunch of things that would provide that protein and not have him eat the same thing every day. Translation: lots of cooking and therefore lots of cleaning.
And somehow I ended up with several soup recipes to make too. Well, we bought the ingredients for these recipes. Now I need to make the soups before the fresh ingredients go bad. I'm happy to make food for Andy, especially since I know he really enjoys them. But why oh why did I set myself up for so much work...not smart Mary! I'm a few days into the work and have a few days left.
Here's what I've made so far:
Black Bean Soup
15 Bean Soup
Many Bean Soup
Blueberry Soup
Peach Soup
Cucumber Soup
Cucumber Fresca
Cucumber Yogurt Dip
+ food for our daily consumption (aka dinner)
Here's what is still on my list to make:
Creamy Bell Pepper Soup
Watercress Potato Soup
Minestrone Soup
Mashed Potato Casserole
Peach Tomato Gazpacho
Italian Spinach Soup
Spicy Tomato Sauce for a breakfast dish
Crazy, I know! I told you it was a lot of work. Are you thinking "where is she going to put all of this food"? I realized after the first soup or two that I really have to work on our freezer so that I can fit them all in there. Yeah, that's a looming task too.... By the time I'm all finished, I imagine that one of our two freezers will be completely full of these soups. I don't think that I'll have to make much else for his snacks. I'll only have to worry about lunch and dinner; that's two out of his six meals...
