When the leftovers taste even better than the day

When the leftovers taste even better than the day it was made...!😋Yep that’s a big batch of minestrone for ya, which I’m happy to have on hand from earlier this week since the 3 kids are off school till Monday!🙃What recipes do you make that you like the Flavor more next day? Sometimes those veg and herbs just need to blend and absorb together.And to make the day even sweeter we made a batch of choc chip cookies, which all bets are on as to how long these will last! Lol!Minestrone soup
Ingredients
1 large onion diced
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves minced
1 cup chopped cabbage
1 cup green beans in 1/2 inch piece
1 cup diced zucchini
3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
3 stalks celery diced
3 carrots diced
3 cups chopped tomatoes with their juice
8 cups chicken stock
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups water
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp fresh basil
1 can white cannellini beans rinsed
1 can chickpeas rinsed
150 grams pancetta (diced)- optional
1 tsp salt and cracked pepper to taste
Optional- cook small pasta and place in bowls before pouring soup. I don’t recommend adding the pasta to the soup directly as it will soak all the broth.Directions:
1. Chop all veg and have them ready
2. In a large Dutch oven heat oil. Add onion and garlic and let cook till soften, about 3 min.
3. Add pancetta. Let cook until fragrant and starting to cook.
4. Add celery, carrots, potatoes and let soften for about 5 min. Add remaining veg, beans, salt, pepper. Let simmer for 10 min.
5. Add stock and water. Add herbs. Turn down heat and simmer for 30 min.
6. Adjust seasonings.Enjoy the bowl of cozy!🤎🍂

Who’s carved their pumpkins? 🎃 This is part of my upcoming weekend agenda. But if you did already, please tell me you roasted the seeds? Lol!Make sure they are nice and dry before placing in oven. Sprinkle with all your favorite spices like sea salt, turmeric, cinnamon, nutritional yeast are some of my top pics.Guys the thought of Halloween feels so strange this year😾👻. Honestly, I’m not that big of a fan but of course my kids are. I don’t even know what to think. In B.C. I haven’t seen any official announcements with guidelines on what to do. I feel like it’s a little confusing to know if we should take the kids out, hand out candy or just stay home (definitely not my kids choice.)What are you all thinking of doing?

This one I learned from my hubby!!! He grew up eat

This one I learned from my hubby!!! He grew up eating roasted peppers🇮🇹, on their own, with potatoes, as a side, with pasta (but of course), sausages, and well my personal favorite with a warm crusty loaf of baguette.! So if you see those bags of mixed peppers at the store and wonder what else you should do with them other than just mince and dice them into a sauce, then you need to try them just as they are!There is really no right or wrong way to do this, but I think the red, orange and yellow peppers taste the best. I wash and place them on a parchment lined baking dish, and roast at 400 degrees turning every so often until they are blackish, the skin is puffing and they are soft (and your house will smell SO darn good.) once they are cooked remove from oven and then I wrap each pepper in tin foil to let them sweat which helps loosen the skin.Once they are cooked peel the skins and discard the stems and seeds. Slice peppers into thin, julienne strips and place in a bowl.Now the fun part (aka your senses take over) with a generous pinch of sea salt, and a big drizzle of your best olive oil. Thinly slice 2-3 cloves of garlic then mix together. Adjust olive oil, sea salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. (Because you must try and taste your food when it’s cooking.)Let them “marinate” in the fridge for a few hours. The longer it sits the more flavourful it becomes.I serve these cold, and couldn’t love them anymore! But you could use as a topping for pizza, in a sandwich, with grilled sausages etc!I really hope you give these beauties a try- you won’t be sorry! (umm why aren’t there any bell pepper emoji’s, lol).

Mother Nature produces such beauty! 🧡Today’s

Mother Nature produces such beauty! 🧡Today’s market purchase was persimmons! If you’ve seen these and weren’t sure what they were, I highly recommend giving them a try. Known for their rich content of vitamin C (and Mother Nature is so smart because we need all the vitamin C we can get this time of year), and dietary fibre, they have a sweet, taste and soft texture once they ripen. I recommend ripening in a paper bag or store next to other fruits that release ethylene when ripening such as apples, pears and bananas, otherwise they can have quite an astringent and bitter texture.I try to rotate the type of fruit I buy so we can get a variety of nutrients into our body. A whole foods diet is made even better and healthier when you change it up. 🌈Have you ever tried persimmons?🧡
