P.I.C. Soup Shortcuts

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

When my sister-in-law made me her delicious soup last month (recipe is coming), she used Pacific brand vegetable broth (low sodium). It is a good substitute for me when I don’ t have soup stock made. Pacific has many soup stocks, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, so check out their products next time you go shopping at the health food store.







I picked up one package of Taste Adventure Split Pea Soup mix on one of my shopping trips, but not sure where, so I googled them and came up with a whole slew of soups that are suited to my “parameters.”  They are handy to have when I substitute teach or want a bowl of soup quickly. I hope to find more when I go shopping at Whole Foods or Wegman’s. If you see this brand anywhere, please let me know.

P.I.C. – Vegetable Bird’s Nests

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Veg

 

My husband and I shop at Treader Joe’s about once each month, purchasing items that are unique to Trader Joe’s, such as the one today, Vegetable Bird’s Nests. These mouth-watering appetizers are small enough to pop in your mouth, crispy and tasty from the oven or the grill.

The main ingredients are carrots, onion, and kale, swirled in a colorful combination that both vegetarian and non-vegetarian family and friends love. There are also two small packets of dipping sauce which come with the nests.

Be sure to buy at least two boxes, because there are only 8 in each package, and they are eaten up in a hurry! In fact, we buy 3 or 4 at a time, because we have “turned on” so many of our friends to these tasty morsels that Trader Joe’s has trouble keeping them in stock. I use them as an appetizer or side vegetable with a meal, especially when we BBQ, because they taste great when grilled to a golden crispness.
