What's for supper?
I tried a recipe my daughter got for me from a friend. I'm quite suprized at how easy and low maintainence. Definitly comfort food. I kinda cheated and used one of those magic wand type blenders, but it IS delicious!

As simple as it was it took me forever. I miss so much when I get "in the zone."

:loveya:

SOUP OF THE EARTH

This is quick and handy. I usually have all ingredients on hand, and it is a nice simple meal with a salad on the side.

1 16 oz can chopped tomatoes
1 medium onion, quartered
1 – 3 cloves garlic, to taste
1 – 2 Tablespoons butter or olive oil
2 cans kidney beans (or black, navy, pinto or mixed beans)
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ pound muenster or jack cheese

In covered blender, blend tomatoes, garlic and onion until smooth. Melt butter or heat oil in saucepan and add in the tomato mixture. Heat 5 minutes.
In a covered blender, blend the beans with their juices and chili powder.
Add to tomato mixture and simmer 10 – 15 minutes.

Pour over cubed cheese in bowls and serve with tortilla chips.

I like to fix it up and put it in a crockpot on low.

Enjoy!

2. I bought ingredients for a shepherd's pie
but I'm feeling unmotivated. I could just eat ham sandwiches and make it tomorrow.
