Fall/Winter 2012 - What's cooking at your house?

Tonight, I disappointed my husband and two young daughters by making a lentil/cashew loaf!  I thought it was delightful, being a vegetarian myself, because I never go out of my way to make something for me!  I am always cooking meat for them, while I eat a quick sandwich. 

Finally I got to eat something that took more than 5 seconds to prepare.  Yum!

Scottie, at first, your comment sounded oddly cannibalistic....LOL!

That is so interesting about the soda in the chili. Does it rise??? lol

I add some sugar to the recipes that use tomato sauce. It seems to make the tomatoes more mello and not as acidy. This is more noticeable after it has been in the refrig overnight. I will have to try the soda as both hubby and I have the reflux issues. Thanks. Irish

Grated carrots in the tomato sauce provide a bit of sweetness and even out the acidity as well. They cook down to being unrecognizable.

My husband is making his whole grain waffles from scratch for breakfast; we just finished our fresh fruit.

I always grated carrots in most of my home made soups when the kids were home. THat way they didn't know what they were eating. lol Irish
