This hummus veggie wrap at the Boar's Head deli on campus. $3.50. I don't know if the tortilla is truly vegan, but this is one of the tastiest options I have had on campus. Others include a couple of questionable salad bars and veggie sushi rolls. I had them put all veggies on there...tomato, lettuce, onion, olives, cucumber, bell peppers, pickles, jalapenos, banana peppers, plus the hummus. It was awesome! That night, a professor had ordered herself a pizza, and it smelled sooooo good. I heard her order spicy sausage over the phone, and I drooled. So, this was also a big win for not succumbing to an unhealthy dinner. (Although, I did eat a cupcake from someone's birthday that day...)
Last night, I made the soup in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4wVQV1xFd4
My version had a roasted acorn squash, about 10 roasted roma tomatoes, 2 sweet potatoes, 5-6 carrots, 3-4 celery stalks (just leftover in the fridge), 1 onion, 3 shallots, some garlic, 2 green peppers, 1 box veggie stock, a little water, salt and pepper. I simmered all this until the carrots finally got tender, then I added half a bag of "super greens", which was a mix of spinach, swiss chard, red chard, and bok choy, along with a can of coconut milk. I seasoned it with a couple teaspoons of garam masala, then let my roommate do the immersion blender honors. This required great restraint on my part, because I dreamed so long of making soups with an immersion blender, and I have only done it once since August, before last night.
Guys, this soup was KILLER. I was floored by the amazing flavor. I say this all the time, because I love soup so much, but this might have been the best soup I have ever made.
My roommate loved it, too. Good thing, because there are 12 cups of leftovers in the fridge.
