Today was our typical Monday madness. Ari had college. Anni had yoga PT, and Alex had his lines to study for theatre. It was a very Northwestern fall day with plenty of rain to go around. I had an indoor workout this afternoon at the Y and then took Anni swimming.
Today, we dug out our Halloween decorations and craft box out of the garage. It should make for plenty of fun for the next week or two.
Alex made a terrific noodle soup for lunch today. He wanted to share the recipe for all to enjoy, so here it is:
Alexander's Awesome Use-your-Noodle Soup
1 pkg. fine udon (we like Koyo's organic)
4 cup low-sodium beef broth (or chicken or veggie)
1/2 cup peas (frozen are fine, edame works well too)
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
3 sliced green onions (very thinly sliced sweet onions will do too)
1/2 cup sliced boy choy (or savoy cabbage or spinach)
1/4 cup finely slice roast beef (or poultry cooked or tofu)
1 Tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1) Bring 8 cups of water to boil in large pot. Add whole pkg of noodles and cook according to pkg instructions. Drain and rinse noodles with cold water.
2) While noodles are cooking, heat broth to boil in another large pot. Add veggies and meat or tofu. Simmer for 2 minutes. Add noodles and return to simmer. Remove from heat and add soy sauce. Serve up in deep bowl with chopsticks and spoons for the broth.
