My Life as a (Sloppy) Healthy Living Blogger Part 1

Dear Fellow Bloggers,

As I near my 67th Post I still havn't gotten it down. I will forever be captivated with the beautiful pictures and always interesting posts from bloggers like Jenna, Emily, and Kath. Will I ever compete with their creative recipes and blog posts?  Who knows. Anyway, this is how a usual blogger day goes in my house:

• INGREDIENT 1: take a ridiculous amount of pictures to find a good one for the ol' blog. Make boyfriend judge best pictures.

• INGREDIENT 2: Almost slice into finger approximately 5x because you don't use knife correctly. Oopsies.

• INGREDIENT3: Ransack all kitchen compartments for ingredients for recipe. Oh, and also decide you want to make your boyfriend fancy panini at 10:30 AM.

• INGREDIENT 4: No Paper, no problem. The back of a receipt should work just fine for writing down your recipe.

Vegan Curried Sweet Potato Soup

Modified from epicurious

4 Cups Trader Joe's Vegetable Broth

2 Pounds Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 Medium yellow onion, chopped

2 Heaping Tbsp. Curry (This is a lot- but I love curry! Use less if you want)

1 Cup Milk (I used soy because it's creamier than skim)

Canola oil

S & P

Heat large saucepan with 1 tbsp oil. Once hot, add onion. As onion becomes tender, add broth and boil. Once boiled, add sweet potatoes and curry. After 20 minutes, sweet potatoes should be tender. Using a slotted spoon, transwer all sweet potatoes to food processor. Puree until smooth and then add 1 cup of broth to processor. Puree. Return the mixture to saucepan and add milk and season to taste.

Enjoy:)

Oh, its -15 in Maine today by the way. This better be the coldest day of the year!!
