I got my blood work back today and it says I am anemic (which is ALWAYS, due to Crohn's). Also it says I have high EOS.. anyone know what this means? According to Dr. Google, it means I could be allergic to something.. hmmm..
Anyway, earlier this week I had vegan Cream of Broccoli soup from Imagine. Most of their vegan soups have soy milk in them, but this one didn't, and it is very low calorie too! Perfect for a nice warming lunch!
One night I made a bunch of kale with some sun dried tomato risotto on the side. I love risotto, it is so creamy and comforting!
T surprised me yesterday with this beautiful Fall arrangement of flowers. This definitely brightened up my day (and house!). So sweet of him!
Last night for dinner I made a white bean soup. I blended some white beans with low sodium veggie broth and some garlic, onion, spices, daikon, celery and kale. Then added them to the pot with the same ingredients "un-blended" so there was still a little chunk to it. This came out really good! I added some smoked paprika to give it a smoky flavor, kind of like bacon (I was never a bacon eater, or a fan of the stuff, but the flavor goes great in this soup). You could even add tempeh bacon, if that's your thing! This definitely is one of my new favorite soups!
Sorry for the sideways picture, that happens sometimes! Anyway, have a nice day and wonderful weekend, everyone!

T is such a sweetie for those flowers!!
It's miraculous that the soup isn't spilling out of the sideways bowl ;) Hahahahaha.
Just found your blog. Great stuff! The soup looks delicious..Id love to try making it sometime! Flowers are gorgeous as well. Have a super day!
That cream of broccoli soup looks and sounds so good and comforting. I've never made rosotto before, it sounds healthy and delicious, you've just inspired me to give it a try, YUM!
OH! T is so sweet, I wanted my husband to buy me some flowers sometimes, after 13 yrs of marriage, all the attention just goes straight to our son!
It's always uplifting to receive flowers & those are sooo beautiful;-)
XoXo
beautiful flowers!!!
i love soup with just regular broth. the other day i made miso soup with no spinach or tofu - just regular old miso and hot water. sometimes simple can be so awesome.
ps - i'm craving some risotto now!
Yum that soup looks great!
With the foods you are eating, I don't know how you can be anaemic.. they are so full of iron and other spectacular things....and they look absolutely scrumpcious!
I Love risotto! Risotto is great for a chilly night. For dinner, I will have a nice bowl of risotto with a glass of wine, yep that's it and a fire.
Is the anemia from malabsorption of nutrients due to the Crohn's?
I have never heard of high EOS..
Like ALWAYS your food looks delicious! I swear, your blog never fails to get my tummy rumbling, everything always looks delicious and so healthy and beautiful.
And oh those flowers! T is such a doll!
Thanks everyone! As for the anemia, with crohn's you bleed sometimes when you go the bathroom, also bleeding inside my tummy from the inflammation. Gross, I know! :)
I'm in a soup mood over here too...had veggie-lentil today and I'm thinking I need to make your yummy-looking white bean soup next!
You are a lucky girl for getting flowers...they are GORGEOUS! As beautiful as the ones in your blog-header. Nice to have a splash of color in the house, I'll bet! I need to drop a few hints to my hubby, I think. The last time I got flowers, I bought them for myself!
Hope you're well :)

The flowers are beautiful...perfect for fall! Sorry to hear about your test results, wish I knew more to help you out. I will keep a look out though!
Hi, I tried to send you a comment but think it failed. Sorry if this is redundant.
Concerning the EOS count, fee http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003649.htm
A gorgeous meal, even sideways :)
That soup sounds yummy! Bean soups are my favorite. I actually like the sideways picture, it's abstract art!
