It's Monday Night...What's for Dinner?

Being a full time student and a part-time teacher's aide at my local preschool, I lack much time to prepare an extravagant dinner.  Plus, my husband is a full-time student and employee, so two nights out of the week he doesn't get home until 8:30 PM.  BUT a girl has to eat and so does my husband.  By the way, my husband suggested that due to the cool weather this evening, we should have something hot to eat.  AND because we will be eating a late dinner this particular evening, it should be rather light.  Hot Tomato Soup it is! Let's get started!

  2. Yah definitely try it! You can add whatever vegetables you like! Also, try the Spanish rice which you can also add which ever vegetables are your preference. And remove any meat from the recipe and substitute it for something else. :)

  4. Well, most of the recipes I have were ones that i learned from my grandmother. Other recipes were given to me through my sister, my husband, one from my coworker, and others through inventive and creative thinking. :)
