Food Wednesdays

 Welcome to our Food Wednesdays.

     I set up this link up so we could share food posts with each other

   I want this event to be all about the food so no rules except to be sharing posts about Food. Anything you would like to share with us-recipes, restaurants, cookbooks and more for us all to enjoy and learn new things.

      This past week I didn't do much cooking or any baking. It was cold and dreary (when I usually like to bake) but we both were not feeling well.

    I did make a really nice homemade chicken soup one day that I really loved-when I make my pots of soup I don't have a recipe-I just start throwing in hand fulls of dried veggies and lots of herbs and not salt spices.  My husband was having stomach issues too from eating too much cheese and I had made hamburgers last week for a treat for us,  so we ate bread  I looked up foods that were not constipating when I put this soup together. I made this different than I usually do.

Sweet potatoes and darker beans were  mentioned. Never thought of adding sweet potatoes to a soup. I peeled then cubed it and added in the last hour of cooking-really delicious I will do that again. For the beans Wal mart stores have a good organic no salt line now of canned beans. One I like for many dishes is their 3 bean-all dark beans. I added in zucchini cubed, and in this photo is floating the dried soup veggies I get at the Amish store. I also added in a pint of my home canned tomatoes-which I will need to can up again this summer as I just have about 6 jars left. I usually can enough for two years-something my farm girl Grandma taught me to do.

   

This is my go to canned chicken now-it does have salt added but I just rinse it with cold water

I started making Larry an omelet a couple times a week now for breakfast. Something different than yogurt and raw granola

I love these little cast iron skillets-perfect for eggs.  I saute veggies, add in a little meat left overs when cooked through,  I put a lid on and start the eggs in another little cast iron skillet.

My Mom always would lift the egg around the edges of skillet to bring down the raw egg for cooking. Makes the omelet a bit more fluffy too. When almost all the egg is cooked underneath, I then flip it over to finish cooking the egg-and then add the veggies and fold over. I will take the skillet off the heat and put a lid on for a few minutes to insure the eggs are cooked through. Larry then adds hot sauce or salsa to his omelet

   I was adding cheese to his omelets so I left that out this morning.

Now it's your turn to share your Food Wednesdays post.
