Hi, I love your website, & your wonderfully positive “never give up” attitude, the attitude that got everyone thru the wartime days. I’ve tried and enjoyed your recipes.
I’ve had struggles with being overweight & one thing that has helpede me is starting my meals with a bowl of vegetable soup. Back then most people started their meals with some kind of home made soup. It was a way of reducing the family’s appetites for the more expensive foods in the main course of the meal. When you have a few minutes it’s easy & quick to whip up a big pot of vegie soup. Use cheap seasonal vegies (but no potatoes), lots of onion, leek, carrots, celery, green beans, tomatoes, cauliflower, etc. what ever veg grew in the home gardens.
Saute the onion, celery & carrot in a little oil/ fat & add the other vegetables & water & a couple of stock cubes, salt & pepper, & your choice of herbs or spices & simmer for 40 minutes. Allow to cool & store in the fridge. This makes a tasty snack too.
Lots of good wishes from Dunedin, New Zealand. Barb
