Greens & lentils soup. 3 sisters soup, eggplant Caccatore, roasted corn, green beans tips/Photographs..also last night's 'Blue" Moon

last Night's "Blue" Full Moon



Getting more prep done this morning as it is going to be getting hotter (80's-90f's) over next few days and today we had sunshine and heat as early as 8am.




Roasted white corn for the 3 sister's soup

Baked yams for the stuffed mushrooms



These 3- the 3 sister's soup (usually made with dried beans, corn and squash, this time I used fresh green beans, butternut squash & roasted corn)



The previous 2 the greens and lentil soup

Green beans cooked quickly in boiling salted water with addition of 1/4 tsp baking soda..baking soda helps keep the veggies green (also works on any greens too) then rinsed under cold running water.

Roasted eggplant for the Cacciatore..roasting uses far less oil and renders a sweet, almost caramelized flavor

The eggplant Cacciatore..the sauce is a "Hunters" type and would have used whatever herbs are available this does not contain Basil, it is flavored with thyme, oregano and rosemary that grow at higher altitudes. Also, garlic, onions and celery.
