Janice's Indian-Inspired Soup

5 large potatoes
5 large carrots
6 small stalks of celery
1 medium-large onion
1 cloves of garlic


Chop it all up. 
Boil in about 8 cups of beef broth (I think I used just slightly less). 
When veggies are very soft, stop boiling, blend it all until reasonably smooth. 
Pour back into pot and mix in 2 teaspoons each of cumin and curry, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of thyme.

Great when you're craving a low-cal version of Indian cuisine.

Baked Sweet Potato

To accompany the fish and mushroom risotto I made for supper tonight, I decided to use up a sweet potato I had laying around. I just tossed it in at 350F until I remember it was still in there. The skin of the potato had come away from the flesh, so I peeled it off, made some gentle indents in the potato and sprinkled it with sea salt.

Sweet, salty, and oh-so-filling, this is something I will definitely make again!
