Day 2: Leftovers, Packaged Meals, & Potato Soup

Today I have been feeling rather lazy since I got up and didn't feel like making much.

For breakfast I had my leftover Granola Bowl from yesterday and a banana.

Lunch I ate 2 Yves 'Hot Dogs' with Arnold Wheat Hot Dog Buns, some Heinz Ketchup & mustard. Quick and very easy for the lazy days and I found both the hot dogs and buns at a Walmart Market near by. I LOVE veggie dogs and was excited to find them so close and cheap! Now I just need some dill relish to complete the meal. :)

For dinner I made a Potato Soup I found online some time ago. Super easy with minimal ingredients.

Easy Potato Soup:
1 medium red potato, cut into cubes
1/2 small carrot, sliced thin
2/3c celery tops and leaves, chopped
1c plain unsweetened soy milk
dried dill, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste

Boil the potato and carrot in water until soft (about 15 mins), drain. Lower the hear, add remaining ingredients, and simmer to combine the flavors

The recipe makes 1 big serving, or two small bowls; so I quadrupled the recipe, subbed soy milk for rice milk, and used parsley instead of dill since I did not have it. I think I put a little too much pepper in, but still turned out pretty good. Nice and simple meal to use up those leftover veggie parts.
