The lunch was constructed using the old “I have no idea what to have, so let’s look in the fridge” formula.
Spicy Pumpkin Soup
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin (can you tell I am trying to use this up?)
- 2 cups of spinach
- 1/2 cups of cooked kamut (or wheatberries)
- 1 cup of broccoli florets
- alfa alfa sprouts (optional)
- salsa, hot sauce
- salt, pepper
Directions:
Heat up the vegetable broth on the stove (medium heat), stir in pumpkin. In a separate pan, steam some spinach (I just added water). Pour the broth into a BIG bowl, add spinach, kamut, broccoli and alfa alfa sprouts. Season with salsa, hot sauce, salt and pepper.
I love how pumpkin instantly thickens the broth!
My humangous bowl with the mandatory carb load…
If there is any potential for blandness, this guy will instantly spicify anything!
After the morning coffee fiasco, I actually opted for some Tetley Red Berry Rooibos tea… It’s a sad day.
Tea and grapes for dessert.
Going to head over to my physio appointment early, so I can sneak in a somewhat illegal run on a treadmill, and then meeting up with Kate for hatha yoga!
See you at dinner.
Hemp and marijuana come from two different varieties of the same plant, and the hemp plant has less than 1% THC (the psychoactive substance), while marijuana plant has 10 to 20% THC. This is similar to how certain milk beverages have very low levels of alcohol (e.g. kumis), but not enough to get intoxicated.
