Today I have made two excellent soups by my hero Isa Chandra Moskowitz from her blog The PPK. I made these as they were quick, easy, will be easy to take to work and seemed to be very much about comfort - without heaps of guilty conscience, such as animal suffering by way of dairy or meat, or fats and grease.
Firstly the easiest soup I have ever made, Roast Potato and Fennel Soup. I halved the recipe and it was a great amount for 2 people plus a leftover dish in the fridge (to be pedantic then it was the perfect amount for 3!)
Secondly another easy soup, only slightly more effort than the above, Alphabet Soup. This serves 4 ( it makes 4 HUGE servings) and has a lovely mix of light tomato flavour and hearty potato and pasta.
PLEASE if you are on a calorie controlled diet DO NOT take my word for it, but I fed approximate amounts into "my fitness pal" and the roast potato soup as I made it (with extra soy milk for creaminess) was approximately 1050 calories and 5.8g saturated fat for the whole pot. Again, approximate values, please check for yourselves, but the Alphabet Soup was approximately 1030 calories and 2.4g saturated fat for the whole pot.

2012- the start
Like many people I a) have been through a lot b) have health issues which affect my day to day life and c) have a full time job and do not seem to be able to find the time to take care of myself properly.
I want to move past all of this, I want to be positive and do small things to help me to get to that happy point. I want to live for today and eat for tomorrow. I wish to have things to look forward to, to live for as it were. And so I thought a journal of my successes and failures would be useful to me. Perhaps it could be useful to others who are picking themselves up from a bad time, to see someone else moving (God willing) up.
I want to share recipes - as a new Vegan and a worshipper at the shrine of Isa Chandra Moskovitz I am most likely to share from the Post Punk Kitchen or her cookbooks. I want to share music and books.
I also don't want to rush myself and so I will be taking the venture and indeed the journal (aka this blog) one small step at a time.
