I hit the nail on the head....yes....

Alright, alright. I know that bacon isn't exactly healthy: neither is white ciabatta bread. And a few tomato slices and a peice of lettace don't exactly equal a salad. But I when I was looking for recipes for this week, I found a recipe for BLT's with brie. Doesn't that sound fantastic? It is.





To salve my conscience, I served these BLT's with a basic broth soup: Matzo ball soup (I know, Matzo ball soup isn't a raw vegetable salad either, but it's better than...say...homemade mac and cheese). Come to find out, Matzo ball soup is one of my sexy husband's top 5 favorite soups ever. Couple that with the fact that BLT's are one of my sexy husband's top 5 favorite foods ever, and I think I hit the nail on the head...yes...yes, I did. +

Matzo ball soup

1/2 c matzo meal

2 eggs

1 t salt

2 T vegetable oil

1 T water

Combine all ingredients except water. Then add water until consitantly incorporated. Chill mixture for a least 15 minutes (I chilled it overnight). Form into 1 inch balls and drop into 1 1/2 quarts boiling water or broth. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 40 minutes (will double in size and float). Serve in chicken broth. You can add veggies like peas and carrots if you want. I would have, but my sexy husband likes this soup plain (I only added a couple of bay leaves during cooking and some parsley).
