Soy-Free Cooking: A Little Help from Mom
May 13, 2012 3 Comments
Nobody can comfort you like your momma can, and my momma is no exception. She arrived in Denver yesterday afternoon to spend a week with me, helping to keep my mind off of Nick’s deployment.
It’s been nice celebrating Mother’s Day with her. We had a relaxing morning, went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch, and then made our way to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, where we bought an indulgent caramel apple to share.
Besides keeping me company for the week, my mom’s helping me cook soy-free foods that we can freeze in single servings for me to eat while Nick’s away.
We’ve found several recipes (and have identified some old fall-backs) that we’ll cook this week, including:
- Breakfast Burritos
- Bean & Cheese Burritos
- Asparagus-Leek Soup
- Jalapeno-Corn Chowder
- Roasted Vegetable Stew
- Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
- Oven Roasted Summer Veggies
- Sweet Summer Corn Salad
- Slow Cooker Chicken Posole
- Chicken Cacciatore
- Turkey Burgers
I’ll try to take pictures and share recipes. I’m crossing my fingers that by the time my mom leaves, I’ll have a freezer that’s well-stocked enough to provide me lunches for a few months. I think she’ll also help leave my heart just a little bit (okay, maybe a lot) fuller than it’s been lately. I didn’t realize how quiet our house had become until I had someone with me in it again.
I’ll leave you with pictures of my very full refrigerator:
