Made my Chicken Fried Rice tonight for supper! This is one of my favorite meals; easy and tasty. I added mushrooms and celery tonight just to use it up, and it was still great.

A quick change of plans for supper this evening. I had planned to make Sweet Potato Skillet but I had forgotten to take out the ground chicken. Not a big deal. I can take it out and pretty much cook from frozen but when I checked the freezer there was no ground chicken and now it's already 4:30. What to have? No worries, saw a bag of frozen fries and knew we had turkey burgers, problem solved :)  Made a new Soup recipe and this one has potential :) I liked it and it has lots of different possibilities, just feel free to play around with it to better suit your tastes :) Cozy Autumn Wild Rice Soup!  More so notes for me when making again :) lol
I didn't use the bay leaf or the bay seasoning as don't like the first and didn't have the second. I just used salt and pepper along with the garlic in the recipe.I left out the kale (really don't like kale, blah), had planned to use spinach but it was already too far gone. I used chicken stock tonight and a wild rice blend. Finally I used unsweetened soy milk, no butter, and almond flour. It was really good although it looked a little cruddy, perhaps due to the soy milk or the almond flour. Tried a new cod recipe tonight and it was pretty good; good enough to make again :) Made Pan-Seared Cod in White Wine Tomato Basil Sauce.  Used local tomatoes for the cod and had local potatoes and brussel sprouts for sides :)
Made a great Veggie Pasta tonight! Maybe a little too rich as I combined the ideas of two recipes into one and used what I had available and liked :) For recipe inspiration I looked at Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato Veggie Pasta and Vegan Mediterranean Pasta and ended up with a pretty good pasta dish. Made a very yummy Mushroom Soup tonight for supper using a mix of different mushrooms, including fresh mushrooms from the Market. Also had fresh, local green bell pepper and carrot.  I make this recipe close to as it's written. I only use almond flour instead of both almond and chickpea flours, and only use about 1/3 cup total instead of the 1/2 cup in the recipe. I use a wild rice blend and usually cremini or mini bella mushrooms instead of button. Tonight we had store-bought cremini along with a mix of local oyster, chanterelle, and shiitake mushrooms :)
Made a salad and pot of soup for supper this evening, again using lots of local veggies from the Farmer's Market :) My salad had local lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber. My soup had local onion, carrot, turnip, celery, and parsley :) Yummy! Local produce always tastes so much better. I couldn't get over the difference in the local fresh parsley; the grocery store parsley has very little taste compared to fresh local.
Love being able to get fresh veggies at our local Farmer's Market! Made a new recipe tonight, simple but yummy. I made Mushroom Fettuccine with broccoli. I made a couple of tweaks as usual :) I added a red onion and used Mushroom & Sage flavored olive oil. I think I wouldn't have liked it as much without the oil.  The broccoli, red onion and three kinds of mushroom all came from the Farmer's Market :)
