Fun with Food

As I started taking photos and loading them onto my computer to do some more blogging I realized I had some photos on my cell phone of some yummy fun foods we had last week.  We had one of our new favorites...a delicious Thai Noodle Soup recipe that I found in the "Forks Over Knives" cookbook (page 106, if you have the book).  The flavor of this soup is unique and delicious.  The colors and textures of all the veggies are wonderful.  And, it's healthy too!  
This is a recipe we may never stop making.  It's that good!


Some of the wonderful ingredients in it are onions, garlic, bok choy, shitake mushrooms, carrots, lime zest and juice, cilantro, bean sprouts, tamari, vegetable broth (I used chicken broth this time that I'd just made by cooking up some chicken for another meal and I added spices), and rice noodles (I used those flat white ones this time).  We ate every drop!  Just blogging about it makes me want more!


Another fun food we had last weekend were these colorful carrots I found at Trader Joe's.
Aren't they pretty?!  I wondered if there was any difference in flavor but couldn't detect any.


They were even prettier cut up and in the steamer/pan...


I made a salad with mini heirloom tomatoes that I found at Trader Joe's too.  Yum!


I love finding fun, new-to-me, colorful veggies and great recipes!
Have you found any new and interesting foods lately?

That noodle bowl looks yummy. I just saw those carrots at Trader Joe's yesterday but passed them by because I already had way too many carrots at home - maybe I should have bought them anyhow!

I love anything Thai! We finally got a TJ's in the area, but it's still a trek. Those carrots are beautiful!

Steve is making his famous cioppino today, but JP is a vegetarian. I think we need to also make him the Thai noodle soup.

Thanks for the hint.
