I was very happy with myself last night!  I knew I would not be home until late so I planned ahead, skipped the fast food, and had a very tasty and healthy dinner.  It consisted of roasted red pepper tomato soup (becoming one of my favorites - see the recipe page), a baked sweet potato with cinnamon, and roasted veggies.  It was so easy.  I needed to roast a red pepper for the soup which takes about 15-20 minutes so I cut it open and placed it on a baking sheet.  Then right beside the pepper I put Carribean blend frozen vegetables which I sprinkled with lemon pepper.  I popped a sweet potato in the microwave and found something else to do for 15-20 minutes.  Dinner was almost finished!  I plated the veggies and sweet potato and popped the roasted red pepper in the blender with the other ingredients for the soup.  Since my blender is one of those industrial types, it actually heats the soup as it purees so no additional cooking was needed.  I poured my soup in a bowl and dinner was ready!

  1. I will DEFINITELY be making that tomato soup, for sure! Sounds awesome! I already make something sort of like it, so I know Phil would love it. I'll dry some of my vegan bread to make croutons for that and the vegetarian french onion soup, too!
