I love to cook. Now that I am vegan, I have to do way more cooking, which is really nice. I love being back in the kitchen.
Lately, I've been finding it hard to eat beans every day. I should really be doing it twice a day. To get by, I eat a lot of hummos. Today, I tried to think of bean dishes that I like, and instantly thought of my homemade minestrone soup. So good.
I take some onion, grated carrot, and grated zucchini and throw it in a big pot with olive oil to soften. I add a clove or two of garlic. Then I add a whole box of vegetable broth, bring it to a boil. Then I add some whole wheat macaroni. That cooks until the macaroni is el dante. Then I add a can of whole tomatoes and a can of navy beans. That cooks for just a few mins. Then I wilt in some spinach (or in today's case, swiss chard) and some parsley. Done.
So easy, and so delish. It really fills you up too. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow!
