Soup-tastic Adventures: What to do?
I'm struggling with my soup for the week. I'm still housesitting, therefore I'm still perusing my mother's recipes. I'm experiencing recipe-goodness-overload!! And after the holiday weekend--filled with munchies, sweets, and drinks--I'm feeling very unhealthy. I'm not the type that counts every calorie and tries every new diet on for size. My philosophy is more to not deny myself anything, and keep portions balanced. However, the pants are starting to be too snug for my liking, so I want to be extra conscious about what I eat for the next few weeks. The problem is, when I cook, I snack. The two seem to go hand-in-hand for me. Anyway, back to the soup... I've narrowed it down to three: minestrone, or two different types of chicken noodle. Two of the three are chock full of veggies, and none of them require an abundance of cream. I'll just have to see what ingredients I have on hand and what can be purchased on sale. Hopefully I'll have it narrowed down by the time I get to PCC tonight.10 Ways To Be More Green

Olive oil for many Westerners may be just simple cooking oil, but to the people of Greece it is much more than that. In the ancient Mediterranean civilisations, olive oil was inseparable from civilised life itself. Olive oil was not only an important food item but it was also burned in lamps to provide light, it could be used as a lubricant, and it was blended with essences to produce fragrant oils.
