Comfort food - Miso Soup

The Cambridge Williamsons have been pretty sick the past few days (but are on the mend now!) and we've pretty much run the gamut of basic sick comfort foods - saltines, ginger ale, and soup. Lots of soup. It's interesting to me that what you want when you're sick is whatever your mom gave you when you were sick as a kid. For me, that's ramen soup, lemon-lime gatorade, and saltines. Matt's list is pretty similar, but he prefers red gatorade and miso soup. I'll admit that miso soup has never made my list of comfort foods, and that I would never make it on my own. But Matt loves it. We've made miso soup from mixes before (it's fine - but again, that assessment is not from a miso lover), but now that we're feeling better, we decided to go a little crazy and make miso soup from miso paste.

Tofu-Veggie Pie

So, we actually made this awhile ago, and I never posted it because it took me a while to upload the pictures.  This is another experiment, not quite as oddball as the melon pasta or ice cream, but certainly a little out of box for us.  Quiche is pretty awesome, and a standby in our house.  You can toss in just about any vegetable, and it's delicious, and leftovers are always welcome.  Anyway, a quiche isn't necessarily the most healthy thing to have on standby, especially with all the butter in the crust and the eggs and cream and stuff in the filling (though I usually just use skim milk, but whatever, you get the point).  So, in an effort to make things a little more healthy, we've experimented with crustless quiches (very good!), and this experiment was with eggless quiche.

These veggies don't know what's in store for them!
