Silly Stew



We have a favorite roasted vegetable soup recipe in our house. It usually finds P consuming large amounts of kale, carrots and such, so I try to make it regularly. But it takes eons. There's all of the chopping, then the roasting, and the boiling and the simmering and 5 hours later, all of the eating. So I only make it when P's peppy and in the mood to help chop.

This time he had fun making veggie people to wile away the hours :) The first was flat (squash base, brussel sprout ears etc) and the schnoz tended to squiggle. For the second, we wised up. We used his new fave, sunflower seed butter (YES!!! Finally! A fair go at nut butter, without the rage filled side effects from actual nuts!) to attach his decorations. He went wild with cigars and baseball caps. You name it, carrot guy got it...
