Seriously!!!...

You want the recipes for

muffins and soup

???

and someone

(we won't say who)

who lives in the North Woods

up there somewhere

covets my plate!!!

I got two of them in "Home Goods" a couple three years ago....

I put this soup together myself

I put what I like in it and that's about it

the hubs won't touch it with a ten foot barge pole so I get to do as I want!!!

(the best kind of cooking!!!)

OK,

the soup I call

(in my head)

my "UH" soup!!

because it takes

...

uh onion (! :) )

uh carrot

uh stalk of celery

uh potato

uh can of organic lentils

(that I found in the food store

but you can use the dried ones if you want)

uh container of beef broth

the low salt kind

uh small piece of red pepper

(because I don't actually eat it but I like the flavour!!!)

I also chopped a couple of smallish tomatoes that were hanging around on the counter

salt and pepper to your taste

and

.....

prepare the vegs

saute the onion carrot celery  potato and red pepper until soft

throw in the tomatoes

add the lentils

stir around

add the broth

(I also added green beans to this pot

they are my favourite)

and cook as long as you want...

I like the lentils to fall apart and thicken the broth a little

so I cook for a while.

That's it folks.....

next time around I may add some kidney beans

(I'm looking for iron, remember!!)

I have eaten it everyday for lunch

and dinner yesterday

coz we couldn't decide what to eat

so it was

a free for all night as the hubs calls it

and

I am very pleased with it.

One bowl and a piece of fresh bread

or not

and I'm good

the muffins

are banana muffins

I use the Joy Of Baking Recipe

yumminess

and add extras du jour!!

I add a bit of wheat germ

I throw in golden raisins

walnuts

if it gets too thick

I add yogurt

I don't make them as big

and I freeze a few for later!!!!

The J O B recipe is for banana bread but they have

it  as muffins too!!!

So, go forth and make a bubbling pot o'soup

and bake a few muffins for yourself

as the air cools in the evening now

a tiny bit anyway

you'll have yourself a good little meal

that takes no time at all.

bon appetite

and

enjoy!!!!

Oh and thanks for the comments.....

nice to see you all

:)

(ps.... this soup lasts me  a good 3-4 days....
I don't eat the whole pot in one sitting!!!
PHEW
that would be
iron to the MAX!!!)
