Meatless Tuesday

I know 

Meatless Monday

has a certain ring to it, 

but, 

life happens.

I hadn't really thought ahead for dinners this

week and doing the whole

vegetarian days

kind of requires some forethought.

But here you have a meal on the fly and

it was actually (actually)

pretty good!

 I started out making a basic red sauce.

As long as I have a 28 ounce can of tomatoes 

around, I'm pretty much good to go. 

I sautéed a red onion in some olive oil, 

added a couple of cloves of garlic, 

chopped up a red pepper

I had roasted and then threw in some

sliced black olives.

All good but I really wanted to bump up the nutrition 

and I thought, a lot of my creamy soups have

you blend the ingredients, be they 

vegetables or, say, beans.

So, I blended up some northern beans 

and added them to the sauce.

It's hard to see but it made the sauce kind of creamy.

And, I figure our meal some protein and fiber.

 Nice!

I like it when that happens.
