It has not been the easiest few days. Good thing I have a bunch of soup in the freezer.
This one was a basic lentil soup with potato, carrot, and onion. I defrosted it on the stovetop with a little water. In the meantime, I loaded the rice cooker with quinoa, pulled some sungold tomatoes and scallion greens out of the garden, and excavated the fridge in search of plain yogurt and sambal oelek.
Voila: lentil soup with hot quinoa, tangy yogurt, spicy sambal, and delicious fresh vegetables.
Everything seems much more doable after a lunch like this.

i can't wait for a freezer, we are getting a new fridge/freezer tonight! this looks beautiful and delicious, would have never known it was frozen.
Aww chica I'm sorry to hear you've been having a rough time! Having good healthy food in the fridge/freezer can definitely make your day!
I love being able to reach into the freezer and find a quick healthy lunch or dinner - totally a lifesaver!
I love freezer meals. It's always good having proper food from the freezer when you're lazy to cook! much better/cheaper than any storebought nonsense.
Your freezer meals are always stunning--le jealous! Love the sambal touch :) Hope your week is going much better now!
I love chunky soups -- nothing like a light dish you can have the occasional chew action with!
Today is a better day--thanks for all your well wishes! And yes, the freezer and a good stash of homemade food is SO useful. I may end up having freezer dinner tonight too. Why not?
wow! sold!
Quinoa in the rice cooker?!?! Do tell. Same proportions as if it was cooked on the stove?
Yeah, I do the same 2:1 water:quinoa proportion in the rice cooker. It works perfectly. :)
