For a non-cook, I spent some time at the stove and oven on Friday and delivered (at least I thought so). I re-created my favorite dish from Tuscany last year, their signature, Ribolita
Runner's World sparked my creation which was adapted from this recipe.
Italians make ribollita, which means "reboiled," from leftovers and cook the soup twice before eating. Make it with whatever light-colored beans you have on hand.
2 cups cannellini (or any white bean), drained and rinsed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large Yukon gold potato, diced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 bunch kale, chopped roughly
1 cup canned tomatoes, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
3 slices day-old, crusty white country bread
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (optional)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large Yukon gold potato, diced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 bunch kale, chopped roughly
1 cup canned tomatoes, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
3 slices day-old, crusty white country bread
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (optional)
I also used up some of my many Sweet Potatoes by baking Sweet Potato Raisin Walnut Scones... to die for.

Running flew by on Friday as I listened to a tweeted BBC Podcast 5 Live Sports Specials. The episode focused on body image within the athletic world, not only did it hit close to home, but is eye opening for those foreign to this world. Having struggled, I am always on the lookout for descriptive pieces to help describe thoughts to others. If you are interested, please listen:
