still feeling under the weather. it seems like everything is exhausting to me right now. we only left the house twice today. once for our saturday morning bagels and then to pick up some groceries to make dinner. we skipped the market since i wasn't feeling up for navigating through crowds of people this morning. we only have so many days left of harvest veggies so i was disappointed not to go.

we did make roastless brown potatoes & vegetables from this vegweb recipe. i was in need of some hearty, simple, comfort food and this recipe definitely fits the bill. we've made it a couple of times before for thanksgiving and x-mas and it's always a hit with the omni fam.


we make it with a few changes (and short-cuts because we're lazy):

3 organic russet potatoes
4 organic red creamer potatoes
3 ribs organic celery
3 organic carrots
1 small yellow onion, diced (j hates pearl onions)
1 package Hain Veg Brown Gravy
1 small package of Imagine Portabello Cream Soup
herbs to taste


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

1) Chop celery, carrots, and potatoes to chunks that are approximately the same size.

2) Dice onion.

3) Dump veggies in a greased casserole or roasting pan.

4) In a small saucepan add the gravy mix and the soup mix, stir in 1/2 cup water.

5) Bring the mixture to a boil and pour over veggies.

6) Add fresh herbs (if using) and a few cracks of pepper.

7) Bake (covered) for 50-60 minutes. Uncover and bake additional 10 minutes.

we ate ours with wheat toast. if you're feeling industrious whip up some biscuits and i guarantee you won't be sorry.
