With another snow storm approaching, I decided to make another pot of my pasta e fagioli soup which will ensure many nights of fantastic leftovers and require fewer grocery runs in the snow (soup is just now on the stove hence the unfinished look in the photo below - I'll add the fresh greens, pasta, and sausage later and try to take a photo of the finished product)...
The soup will provide a nice balance to my greasy, non-fresh Waffle House lunch I had today when I finally left the house with the kids (and my did the kids enjoy Sam's Club, Waffle House, and the grocery store this morning!).
We've also got a batch of blueberry muffins the kids enjoyed for breakfast (I baked them last night so they'd be ready for breakfast this morning) ...
... which completes the food picture for me today - a pot of soup with completely fresh ingredients and baked goods in the house. Can't beat that. As I've said before, I prefer simple, fresh ingredients in my food - just like the Italians themselves would use - and the results are far superior to taking shortcuts and using frozen or canned items. I just wish I had more time to cook like this every day.
Vacation time is a good thing.
