What's for dinner?

Scalloped potatoes. 

I sliced two red potatoes & one onion. Layered potato, onion, flour, salt, pepper, cheese. Repeat. Pour 1 cup of scalded milk over the whole thing. Cook for 50 minutes covered at 400. Remove cover, add a bit more cheese & cook 10 minutes longer.

I also cooked salmon with lime, honey and dijon. It didn't make it to the table. Ate it at the counter standing up. That's how good it was.

EAT YOUR GREENS! soup.

I made this soup yesterday & it was very successful. 

Soak 1 cup of split peas overnight.

Dice 2 onions. Fry in oil & butter. Dice 2 celery stocks. Add to onions. Chop 4-6 cloves of garlic, add to pot. Put a little bit of hot pepper flakes in, because spice is always delicious. Add 4 cups of broth. Peel and dice 1 celery root, add to pot. Rinse split peas & add to pot. Add 1 bay leaf. 

Boil until split peas are almost done.

Chop up 1/2 cauliflower & 1/2 broccoli & add. Cook for 15 minutes. Chop up 1 bunch of swiss chard and 1 bunch of parsley. Add & cook until well wilted (5 minutes). Add 2 bags (or one large box) of spinach. Add 1 container of fresh tarragon. Zest of one lemon. Salt & pepper to taste. I added a bit more cayenne & some smoked sea salt. 

BLEND IT UNTIL SMOOTH!

Juice the lemon & add right before serving.

One cup is like eating 7 salads.
