"Food for Life" is a commitment to eating and living well; a passion for food as sustenance, entertainment, hobby and livelihood; and a statement that means something akin to "Las Vegas or Bust" or "No Sleep til Brooklyn" or "Power to the People." That makes sense in my head... This blogsite is about "Food" and my love of food is "for Life." Enjoy.

Food Find: Fast Alphabet Soup with "Dora Beans"
Ok for everyone who has a little picky eater on their hands, try this super fast alphabet soup.
I'm not even putting measurements in here, that's how easy this is.
We're going to cheat and make a tomato soup by diluting your kid's favorite spaghetti sauce with some vegetable or chicken broth until it's the consistency of a thin tomato soup. Add a small palm-full of alphabet pasta and simmer over medium high heat until the pasta is just tender.
Now the secret ingredient: the "Dora Beans." As you can see in the picture, these are organic soybeans from Sealpoint Farms, cleverly packaged with a popular children's character. Marketing, marketing, marketing... But if it gets my kid to eat a vegetable, I'm all for it.
Add the "Dora Beans" in the last five minutes of cooking and serve.
Zen's response was, "Alphabet soup? My favorite!" Although I don't think he's ever had it before. LOL. The next time I make it, I'll be sure my tomato product is smooth b/c he was hesitant to eat the tomato chunks.
So there ya go. Super easy, and yet fun for the kiddies.
