1. I was able to say no to the chocolate cake my husband brought home last night.

2. I can hold the bridge pose for 30 seconds now, up from a measly 10.

3. Finally got done with the gardening. The only thing left is to keep these plants alive through the summer.

Hey there Shelly,

Okay, this is all I did:

1-2lb bag frozen veg mix of ( broc, caulifrlower, zuchinni, yellow, squash &Carrots..I think it's called Normandy blend)

Put the veggies in one of those metal steamers that you insert into a pan with 2 cups of water...steam until tender.

Flip the veggies out of metal steamer thing into the water;

Add another 2 C. vegetable stock ( or 2c. water and veg boullion cube) bring to a boil, then turn off.

Take a hand blender and puree until smooth ( guess you could put into a blender too). It gets super rich and creamy.

At this point you could add: milk/soy milk/evaporated skim...just a 1/2 cup or so, season w/ salt and pepper.

Once it's creamier...add: canellini beans and top with parmesan cheese.

My DH said he thinks this soup base would be good with cooked italian sausage stirred in...}(

Hope you give this a try...it was worth it.

I really think that everyone can sing something! I have heard the most beautiful voices deliver the most sterile rendition of a song...most of the time it's the delivery that counts..IMHO.;-)

I grew up singing latin music. Jazz is another animal entirely. Thanks for the encouragement. deb
