Comfort Food

While I made some lunches last night for the following day I whipped up some tomato soup for myself. Whipping up means opening the box of Organic tomato soup and pouring it into a sauce pan. I added some cut up carrots that were just about to wilt and some green onion that I chopped a couple days ago that would not of made it one more day. It gives me great comfort to not waste food. I buy a ton of food from my own budget so to see it go to waste feels very frustrating. Like paying rent at a place you never stay.

Organic Tomato soup
2 small organic carrots - chopped
handful of chopped green onion
3 cubes of cheddar cheese


I brought the soup to a boil and then let it rest then reboiled it to make sure the carrots were nicely soft and incorporated into the soup. I added the cheese cause it was left over from the sandwiches and poof. A creamy, vegetarian dish made just for me, by me. I take great care of myself. And I'm very happy when I do. You see when I take care of me I'm much better at being a Mom.
