African Peanut Stew

I am flush with new cookbooks lately.  Must be a fall thing.

Anyway, it was a cloudy, rainy day in Denver today, which means it was a good day for soup!

Took this one for a spin from Oh She Glows by Angela Liddon.

Quite delicious.  Part of me thought that this would be better with coconut milk in it, but honestly, it didn't need it.  And a whole lot less fat.  It's very hearty and we will have soup leftovers for several days.  Plus, I have some leftover rice from Chinese takeout that will be a great addition to this soup.  The house smells all nice and cozy tonight, too.

BKT Salad

I made the BKT (Bacon, Kale, and Tomato) salad from Salad Samurai tonight.  I don't know how this recipe could go wrong with these ingredients and I was right.  So tasty!  The significant other may find no dinner waiting when she gets home, as I am highly tempted to help myself to another giant portion.  Kale and tomato from the garden.

Recipe and better pics can be found here.

New cookbook day!
