I'll have to make your veggie tortilla things, I do a bean flat bread that way, run beans and spices through the blender, add flour till it's bread dough. Haven't tried random veggies! You adding any spices? I like my flat breads spiced.

No. Just keeping them as tortillas. Sometimes a little salt. I do see trying some spices though. Right now just tortillas for fish tacos, eggs, or just on their own. I do have black eyed peas i canned last New Years from leftovers. I just recently thought about trying that.
Its nothing life changing. Its a way to use up canned veggies to rotate stock, or get someone to "Eat their squash" without knowing it.

One thing I make in the summer that I really like is a hummus/pesto kinda thing.
I put lots and lots of basil, some chickpeas, lemon juice, walnuts, and miso in the food processor until it's thick and smooth. Make sure it's salty and tangy and funky and basily and you're good to go. Really nice mixed into grilled zucchini and adds some calories to make it a meal.

No, but since my health doesn't let me have cheese, it's at least a decent spreadable tasty thing. That same recipe with more liquid added makes a great sauce !

Mmm... I wonder if adding some liquid aminos or some other kind of probiotic soy sauce-ish like thing would jazz it up a bit?

Easter Soup as my grannie wrote it: Boil a link or two of smoked pork sausage until the skins burst. Remove the sausage, save the water. Peel and boil a few potatoes and add a few eggs to the leftover water. Remove the potatoes and eggs when they are done. Add prepared horseradish, sour cream and vinegar to the water, to taste. Slice some of the sausage, peel and slice the eggs, slice the cooled potatoes and put a few slices of each in a bowl, pour the broth over them and serve.
Doesn't that sound easy (and delicious!)? I've worked on this recipe for all my adult life attempting to get back to the flavor profile that my Gram knew intuitively. I'm close, but it's no cigar. I can tell you that the broth is totally opaque, which I have to assume means there is more sour cream than prepared horseradish or vinegar. The only vinegar she used was white, and I have to substitute commercial smoked sausage (Johnsonville smoked sausage) for the smoked Polish sausage she got from the butcher (who made his own). There is no added salt or pepper. We called it Easter Soup because it was so rich and delicious (i.e. expensive) it was only served annually in celebration of the Lord's resurrection. It was probably the sausage that threw it over the edge. Oh, and she used white vinegar to make sour cream from the dregs in the milk cartons so it was probably heaps sourer than today's sour cream.
Thanks, Everyone!

You know what your grannie's soup sounds like? Zurek! I went hunting for recipes after gorging on to-die-for soups in Poland a few years ago, and this is one I have not yet gotten to work, mostly because I can't get the secret ingredient - fermented rye flour - to ferment and not rot. (I am told little old Polish ladies supplement their incomes by selling the ferment to their less-handy neighbors.)
The link I kept for my notes has deleted the zurek recipe from their site, but I found this: https://www.polonist.com/polish-zurek-soup/ with a handy link to making the sour rye starter: https://www.polonist.com/rye-starter-zakwas/ so I may give it another shot.

OOOH! I'm using that idea! I haven't had a fermented soup or cereal in years! I had a sour cereal I used to make a lot... Hmm. Need to find that recipe and remember it. Excellent winter food.
Thank you!
:D

Interesting - searching for sour cereal gives me a grain-based soup served in ashrams, but comments say it's not actually sour. Is that what you mean? I'm interested in the recipe!
