I'm back :)

Move finally finished.  New house is wonderful.  This is a kitchen I would actually ENJOY being in all day long.

This morning I made a very yummy stew:

--------------------
Chunky Sweet Potato Stew (serves 4)

1. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.  Cut 2 onions into thick slices and add to pot, cooking about 5 minutes, until softened.  Chop 4 cloves garlic and add to pot, cooking 1 minute.

2. Peel 2 large sweet potatoes and chop them into bite-size cubes.  Mix into the pot 2 14-oz cans of stewed tomatoes, the cubed sweet potatoes, 1 cup of canned and rinsed garbanzo beans, and 1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary.  Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.  Cover and cook 5 minutes.  Cut 2 medium zucchini into bite-size cubes and add them to the pot.  Add 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp no-salt seasoning (I used McCormick's Perfect Pinch Garlic and Herb).  Cover and cook another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For lunch today I had a big bowl of this stew, a small salad, and a peach.  And that was enough.  The stew is very filling.
