Welcome to Litsy!

#mtcookbook - I‘m trying an approach that worked this week- Soup is my favorite food- and i love Paprika and mushrooms but wanted hearty vs a pre meal soup- so I added potato, cabbage, onion, garlic, white beans and kale- It worked!!!! I‘m calling it my Hungarian-Irish Stew. And it was a win with my mom and son too!

A #Sultry vegan cookbook from my collection. The subtitle is: “200 Sultry and Savory Global Recipes.” I have the 2008 version tagged but I think the 2014 revised cover is more “sultry.” I tagged the retitled/revised version below.

My #mtcookbook goal is one new recipe a month to get back into the habit of cooking from scratch (ish) and make it fun again. This cookbook was on my Litsy TBR so I borrowed it from the library. I was excited to find this soup recipe because I‘ve actually been searching for red lentil options besides Dahl and not finding them. It came out pretty well, but I‘m not sure what tweaks I‘d want to make before adding it to my regular repertoire.👇🏼

Happy Friday! Todays theme for the Friday share is cookbooks. I‘m looking forward to seeing the posts! #midwintersolace #naturalitsy #fridaynightshare

Made the Cardamom & Pear French Toast Casserole😋 Really like how Hester spells out what to do the night before for prep. This morning I popped all the ingredients into my slow cooker and took the dogs for a walk. My husband pressed down the bread cubes into the liquid base at the one hour mark. I got home, served breakfast. So convenient. Plus vegan cooking is pretty easy clean up too!

I just spent the whole afternoon going through my Litsy TBR list, removing duplicates, books I already own but neglected to remove, books I no longer want to read, and books that I have no idea how they got on my list to begin with, including the tagged book. Very satisfying activity.

Now I will reward myself with a book purchase, as one does. 🤣

It‘s farmer‘s market season, so I‘ve been buying local fresh vegetables without having to drive an hour! It‘s a plant-based paradise 🌿

This dish features green peppers, onions, tomatoes, eggplant, fresh herbs from the garden, and a homemade tomato sourdough ❤️

Fantastic romp through the windy cold to peruse the book & record stores in my local beach town ❤️ found these two gems but only bought the one 💎 I‘m not a Morrissey fan (but I love the Smiths!) 🤷‍♀️ ended up putting a LOT of books on hold at the library while shopping 😅 the struggle is real 📚
