**sowwie for foggy picture, it was steaming hot :)
Doing respite care in the evenings "forces" me to be creative for dinner: when I'm in someone else's home, there is no planning. I just find whatever is in the fridge/ cupboards, do a mini-brainstorm, and throw supper together. In truth, I love it! Because dinner is always a surprise, even for me.
A couple nights ago I made a veggie stew, even though there wasn't any vegetable broth. Results? The family was impressed :) We all loved it.
Pwease remember to keep in mind that these measurements are estimates. You can add more or less of any ingredient to your taste, and you might also choose to use veggie broth, should you have it available.
