Tonight I bought soup at work: Carrot & Coriander soup. Delish.

Followed, when I got home, by a mozzarella quesadilla.

I am trying not to do too much cooking this week.

The Boy will be at this dad's for TG dinner. I will be having a feast here for when he gets home. D kindly offered to toss some meat into the deep pit this year, so I bought a small turkey & a ham. YUMMMM

Wow, this came out way better than I expected. I wanted pasta, but did not want yet another tomato sauce. So I brainstormed, what could I make to approximate tomato sauce texture, and I came up with eggplant sauce. Cooked up some eggplant with garlic, onions, some spices, pureed it (holding back a about 1/3 of the eggplant) into the consistency of tomato sauce. Sauteed veggies (carrots, peas, mushrooms) in the remaining eggplant with some more veggie broth. Some white wine to deglaze the pan, 1/4 cup cream to thicken, then added the pureed eggplant sauce. Topped with grated parmesean.

Not the prettiest looking dish, but by is it delish! And I even forgot to add the toasted walnuts I was going to put in there. Bet that would have been good.

Sound Yummy, GD !

KS: Here's the recipe for the rolls - it's low fat, and really simple.

Cabbage & Beef Rolls With Tomato Veloute Sauce

Rolls:
1 cabbage head
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup yellow onions, chopped
1-1/2 cups cooked rice
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground nutmeg, optional

Sauce:
4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder or Cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups tomato juice

Cut the core from cabbage. Have a pot of water (large enough to sit the cabbage head in) boiling; add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Place the cabbage head in boiling water, and remove each of the soft blanched leaves as they detatch themselves. You need about 15-16 leaves for this recipe. drain and set aside.
Mix the meat, onion, cooked rice, margarine, bread crumbs, sage, pepper, nutmeg and salt.
Lay a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Put 2-4 tablespoons of the mixture near the base of the leaf, fold leaf up and over the meat, turning under the sides. This will make about 15-16 rolls.
Place the rolls, seam side down, in a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Make two layers of the rolls.
Place this dish in a steamer, or on a rack over 2 inches of simmering water in wok or large heavy pan with rack. Cover and steam for 35-40 minutes.

MEANWHILE:

Melt 4 tablespoons margarine in a skillet.
Add the salt, chilli powder and the flour. Mix to a smooth paste.
Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil.
Remove from heat and slowly stir in the tomato juice.
Return to heat and cook until it boils and thickens.
Serve over the steamed rolls
