Welcome to Slightly Indulgent Tuesday – a celebration of fabulous food made healthier.
Another week has flown by. Where do the days go? I’ve got a fun thing or two to share with you throughout the week including pics from an event my culinary school catered in Joel Salatin’s honor. He signed my apron – I have the pictures to prove it, too.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
If you weren’t tempted by the Chai Breakfast Cake or the Simple Roasted Chickpeas, I’m shocked. Maybe you were in the mood for a Power Wake Up Strawberry Shake or a Beet & Lentil Salad.
My Submission
A potato soup made healthier – with spinach and herbs creamed with Neufchatel cheese.
Spring Cleaning…
Make sure to visit Mindful Mama for this week’s installment of our carnival – she’s talking about parabens. If you don’t know what a paraben is, don’t worry. I had to look it up on Wikipedia.
Visit Katie at Kitchen Stewardship, too, for more info on parabens and a great give-away.
Linking Up Guidelines!!
- When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I would enter:

I hate deleting links but some get deleted every week.
If you find that your link has been deleted it’s because it doesn’t link to your post or you haven’t linked back here. E-mail me with questions or if you need help.

I made a dairy-free version of your spinach Florentine potato soup today, Amy, and made it my submission for this Tuesday! I used coconut milk and it’s delicious. Thanks for sharing, and hosting this event.

I had to share the Tomato Cobbler here. It is an amazing recipe and I have visions of variations to make to make it even better.
It really is an easy recipe and I think would be a treat. Gluten free eating is very good.
Take care, Amy.

Tomorrow, I will be posting a really super giveaway and anyone who takes the challenge and bakes the quick bread, I listed and blogs it, gets five chances for another CSN special, really special.
You also get an amazing bread that does not taste like its ingredients.

I’m honored to be one of your chosen recipes this week!
Your potato soup looks delicious, it’s always a favorite for me here (because, hello! It’s cold in Canada!). I can tell you are working on perfecting that dice of yours. I’m just curious, but what do you do with the leftover scraps? like the end pieces and stuff? Do you throw them out, or are their tricks for perfectly dicing the whole potato?

@Chelsey, It’s my pleasure to be able to share your work with others.
I have gotten much better at not wasting so much. I save the scraps and use them in other things. I have two quart mason jars of carrot scraps in the fridge waiting to be made into carrot soup.
I am working on a post for you about cutting veggies. I promise.

Sorry I’m a little late but these pancakes are too good not to sure! They are one of my favorite (slight) indulgences.

Amy – Thanks so much for the shout-out for my bread! What a treat for me and an honour. As an English teacher I am very envious of your Shakespeare cake. WOW! That is a work of art.
