Insomnia strikes and so does hunger. I made a quesadilla with freshly shredded Colby, a small can of salmon mixed with some green hot sauce and a bit of mayo, and more cheese. Then topped with crema and more hot sauce. Hits the spot while I read for a while. Saving the other half for lunch tomorrow.

No sleep…so I made a roasted tomato soup with my hoard of heirloom garden ‘maters. Have one last pile of tomatoes left to ripen.
They made an interesting color for soup 
(almost looks like a squash soup) but it’s really delicious. Tastes creamy and delicate due to those yellow tomatoes, a great use for them. Perfect for the cold snap we are having, along with a grilled cheese!

It’s never not shortbread season folks, just remember that 
Recipe:
I suggest creaming the butter and sugar together before adding the flour, and add the flour in parts, not all at once, so it has time to mix evenly. Also, I raised the temperature to 325 F (about 160 C), instead of the 300 F / 150 C given in the recipe.

Interesting, that your tomatoes still ripe. Our tomatoes topped growing 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, just pulled the last ones off the vine and they all need to ripen inside. I usually have some at the end of the season that I bring in to finish up.

Yeah I know, the chicken looks sad. I have to cook it to avoid fats and I can’t use the spices I love so much until my stomach is feeling better.
I cooked the chicken in a strong veggie broth, the puree is a mix of potatoes and carrots.
Update:
I was able to eat one chicken breast, 3 tiny potatoes and 2 tiny carrots without any stomach pain

When all you got is egg and cheese for tacos; that’s not a bad thing. Store bought pico on one and salsa on the other.
And my peanut butter with a side of apple.

Up before dawn but I got a bit of sleep. Woke up hungry! English muffin with peanut butter and blueberries. I had forgotten about this - used to eat it frequently. Happy memories. 
Curious what kind of PB folks buy? Especially no added sugar? I need a new brand after I get through this sugary stuff I have on hand. Do people grind their own (I think my natural food store has a grinder, or I’ve heard of people using a food processor) or is there a favorite natural PB brand? @Dazercat what kind of no added sugar peanut butter is your go-to for your pretty lunches?

This is basically banana porridge. I added one egg and some flour and made pancakes 
Prepared them yesterday, I put them in the microwave and added some sirup. Yum!

The first photo is my go to natural pb (I think it’s Canadian so I tend to buy it over other brands).
I also like the second, which I buy less often; it is USA brand but I like the dark roast. They have smooth too

Oooo dark roast! That sounds great. Thanks Salty! I looked at my grocery store options today and was underwhelmed. Will check natural foods store next.
