Sunday Lunch

It’s been a while since I’ve done a food post, but today I made the mostest yummiest lunch and I couldn’t pass up sharing.

Roasted Tomato Soup

I used this recipe as the base, and tweaked it just a little.  I felt like it needed a bit more tomato flavor, so I added 2 Tbsp of tomato paste (I picked up the tomato paste in a tube, it’s so awesome. No more opening an entire can just for a little bit.) and used 1 cup of heavy cream instead of 3/4 cup. I also dialed way back on the amount of olive oil used in roasting the tomatoes & garlic because I thought the soup would end up being oily. I don’t know the exact amount, but I drizzled just enough to give them flavor & help the salt & pepper stick. I also pulled the skin off of the tomatoes before adding them to the pot. It was a bit on the spicy side with the cayenne, so maybe cut back if you don’t like a little kick to your soup.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Smoked gouda cheese.

Josh’s.  Ooey, gooey cheesy goodness.

I wanted to get my veggies in, so I added some baby spinach to mine.

Scout tried valiantly to eat a piece that fell on the floor, but she just couldn’t do it. It took me almost 37 years to like spinach, so maybe one day, Kitty.

I’m not exactly a food stylist, but here’s my attempt at a fancy outdoor shot of my lunch.

Garnish with parsley and enjoy. I did. Smile
