Served with parmesan, croutons and pesto to put in the soup or on the sour-dough bread sticks that were also on the table with butter, of course. A glass of red wine and so far so healthy.
Desserts included an apple cake, a cheese cake with cranberries, brownies that were almost liquid chocolate and date and coconut truffles. I didn't put sugar in my coffee though.
As I didn't make the delicious soup and as you can find Minestrone Soup on google, I'm not actually going to post a recipe. Think of it as more of a Recipe Suggestion Shed. :~) But do click here and see how others have been more pro-active than I have on this one.
I like the idea of a Recipe Suggestion. Sometimes that's all you need to inspire a meal. Next week's shed theme will be pies, if you have any thoughts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, I love pies so I'll definitely put more effort into that one.
ReplyDeleteOoh... I LOVE Minestrone soup. Must check out some recipies to help me keep up my new regime ;-) I do make a lovely vegetable soup regularly that I use to boost veggie intake and avoid biscuit based snacks ;-)

PS: I'm about to tag you in my next post (related to my current one!!) I think you'll like it!!
i'm surprised your daughter doesn't "do" soup yet - she eats so many other surprising things. My 3 yr old loves soups - when she wasn't so good at getting them into her mouth with a spoon i used to give her soup in a cup, or soup in one of those bowls with the straw built-in, so that when she gets tired of using the spoon she can slurp up the liquid via the straw.
ReplyDeleteJazzy - thank you for commenting, can't wait to find out about the tag (although I can guess that it may be to do with recent tweets between ladies of a certain age).
ReplyDeleteNicole - DD's ok with soup it just gets very messy. On reflection, maybe it's me who doesn't do so wekk with her having soup :)
I was also going to suggest a cup as an option for getting your lo to have soup. Little Moo loves "Soopa Doopa" as she calls it, and thinks she's a real big girl getting to drink it out of a mug when she gets the chance :-)
ReplyDeleteOK Vanessa, you've convinced me. Next week we try soup...
