As we are in soup season I realize that many of us are looking for quick ideas for warm hearty meals. So a good soup base is valuable.

That's so good to know! Bek's best friend is a vegetarian and I have been looking for a substitute for the chicken soup powder that I usually use.

O course you are nuts Catie! That's part of your charm!

It's Monday morning here, it's raining a bit, which is cooling the place down but making it all steamy as well.

I had a win yesterday! I am always looking for things Bek's best friend will eat. He's got a very limited palate and will basically only eat refined carbs and cheese - so, think macaroni cheese, welsh rarebit, pizzas with only cheese on them... sushi... that kind of thing. Kris jokes that the kid only eats things in a certain colour group - white to pale yellow. Lol.

I mashed a bit of pumpkin (fresh, we don't have tinned here), added some cream cheese, nutmeg, and some grated cheese and used it as a wonton filling. Success!

Though as I was saying to Sun before, it's probably more appropriate as a pasta filling, but anyway - he liked it, so it's a win!

I've been trying to think of ways to get more fresh vegetables into him, he doesn't eat much of anything, most of the time. Unless it's sweet things, he loves sweet things.
