Fresh Dinner Rolls and Vegetable Soup

A simple vegetable soup and freshly baked dinner rolls for lunch today – easy and delicious.

These dinner rolls are addictive….not all the rolls made it to the dining table at lunch time…. but then, I haven’t met anyone who cannot reach out for a warm dinner roll fresh from the oven and cooling on the kitchen counter.  The recipe is courtesy of King Arthur Flour website, a cinnamon roll recipe.  I did not make the cinnamon filling, instead simply brushed the dough with some melted butter and italian seasoning.  I baked these in a 8 x 8 inch square pan at 375 degrees for about 15-18 minutes, and drizzled extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled some italian seasoning and sea salt on the warm rolls.  I could have eaten the whole batch for lunch, they were simply delicious.

The soup was loaded with veggies and a handful of dandelion greens.  Into the pressure cooker, went one finely diced veggie sausage link, one small leek (coarsely chopped), and 2 cloves of minced garlic.  When it all softened, I added one potato, one turnip, one kohlrabi, 2 medium carrots, 1 parsnip (all diced), 1/2 cup green peas, and 1/2 cup dandelion greens (that is what I had in the refrigerator).  Added 4 cups of vegetable stock (if you prefer, add chicken stock for extra flavor) and some salt.  After 7-8 minutes, the soup was ready.  Topped with dandelion greens, freshly ground black pepper, some fresh lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil, the soup was simply delicious.

Post-Christmas Fresh fruit juice

A refreshing glass of fresh fruit juice after all the mindless eating yesterday seemed perfect to begin the day.

    This glass of juice was not only healthy and delicious but absolutely beautiful….a combination of stunning colors from a couple of apples and carrots, 3 celery sticks, 1 cup of fresh cranberries, a piece of fresh ginger….into my juicer, a few seconds later, there you have it.  How can you not want to drink this beautiful concoction – healthy, good for you, and so easy to whip up in seconds.
