Yesterday I made Turkey Meatball Soup. It was delicious! I would highly recommend it for a quick dinner. We had enough for 4 large servings. Here's a link to the recipe: Weeknight Bite's Turkey Meatball Soup
It would be pretty simple to modify this recipe should you not live near a Trader Joes. The Mirepoix is roughly a pound mixture of carrots, onion and celery. In my mind it looked like a small/medium yellow onion, 3 large carrots and 3 celery stalks. By the time I wrote this the bag of cabbage was already in the garbage so I don't know the ounces. I think you could easily substitute a bag of coleslaw mix or 1/4 head of cabbage.
I don't have a lot to add. I am way tired. Fortunately the hubby doesn't have to work through the weekend. As a bonus my in-laws are coming for a visit and my niece and nephew have a birthday (they're twins.) So it will be busy but tons of family fun.
I watched The Taste tonight and was inspired to make a Sesame Snow Pea Salad. I followed a recipe but I thought it was bland so I doctored it up. Soon my salad had shredded carrots, tons of green onions (I'm addicted) and a lot more sesame seeds. For the dressing I added more soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Then it tasted sort of gross. Oops! So I in went honey, orange juice, garlic and fresh ginger. I think it turned out pretty darn good. Hopefully I'll make it again. When I do I'll post it here with measurements. Just in case that never happens here is a similar recipe Cooking.com's Sesame Dressing.
It's super late but I need some more ME time. It's time to watch The Fall on Netflix. You should stop reading this and watch it. It is so flipping good. First off there's Scully aka Gillian Anderson. She's a detective trying to find a serial killer. The show reminds me a bit of Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren. Probably because Mirren's character is a seriously tough cookie just like Anderson. I absolutely love British Detective shows. I should really rewatch Prime Suspect and Wire in the Blood too. It's been forever. Seriously, it was so long go there was no Netflix, online streaming, just live Masterpiece on PBS.
Until next time. Eat your veggies.
