I would do one big batch of veggie lentil soup and one batch of carrot soup to use up those 5lbs of carrots. You can freeze whatever you don't finish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986688 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:45:00 +0000 gingerbebe 1986688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Onions, celery, and bell pepper is the base for a lot of Creole/Cajun cooking. You can make a delicious vegetarian red beans and rice or jambalaya. </p> <p>You can make a smooth and creamy carrot/sweet potato bisque and have it with bread. I'd simmer the carrots, potatoes, and a little onion in broth and then blend it up and add some cream or coconut milk or something creamy. Maybe a little curry powder? </p> <p>Sweet potato black bean chili would be good - or just chili and then top baked sweet potatoes with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986644 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:30:22 +0000 mediagirl 1986644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuffed peppers.<br /> Pop the tops off the peppers.<br /> Chop up the celery, carrots, an onion and the mushrooms. Add some rice. Cook that mixture, add some broth (if you have it) or water and/or tomato sauce. Bake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986637 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:26:49 +0000 youboots 1986637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Veggie stir fry and veggie soup (do you have chicken broth on hand)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986589 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:59:49 +0000 thestartermum 1986589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could make a lentil loaf (like a meat loaf) the celery would be yummy in that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986323 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 10:04:46 +0000 chanada 1986323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sweet potato and carrot/onion soup.

All the veggies can be thrown in! I'm vegetarian do I use veggie stock, a bay leaf, thyme, tomatoes, and some cumin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986285 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:47:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 1986285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: My first thought was a soup as well, toss everything in and it could be very hardy. For chicken/veggie based I like to throw in some pepper, oregano, onion powder, and some garlic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986281 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:45:43 +0000 blackbird 1986281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Veggie soup, man. Like a minestrone! You could easily chuck most of that in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986279 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:45:13 +0000 LBee 1986279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about black bean burgers with sweet potato fries? You could also make some kind of slaw with the carrots and celery. </p> <p>I feel like I'm on Chopped!</p> <p>ETA: Brilliant idea for the carrots! You should just steam them and freeze them for K in the future! (or actually you may be doing BLW, can't remember) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986276 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:43:04 +0000 swurlygurl 1986276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leah: Oh good idea! I always forget about soup. I could pretty much throw all the veggies into the soup! Well, maybe not 5 onions... haha. Those should last for several weeks though.<br /> Chicken/veggie broth as a base? What kind of seasonings do you like to add? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986271 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:41:03 +0000 Orchid 1986271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love celery so I put a lot into soups! Maybe do a huge pot of lentil soup and use the celery and carrots and onions. Lentil soup freezes well so you could keep the leftovers for another time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-creative-with-the-next-2-meals-help#post-1986258 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:33:02 +0000 swurlygurl 1986258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going out of town for 12 days, so we're trying to use up all our produce and NOT buy any additional before we leave on Thursday morning. Here is what I have to work with for dinner tonight and tomorrow night:<br /> 3 red peppers<br /> 3 full ribs of celery<br /> 5 pounds of carrots<br /> 2 sweet potatoes<br /> 5 onions<br /> 2 mushrooms<br /> NO meat (ahhh - the next grocery bill is going to be so big!)<br /> Beans/lentils/rice/quinoa/pasta/bread/tortillas</p> <p>Any ideas? Mostly I just have no idea what to do with all that celery!! </p>
