What's for Dinner Wednesday? A MacGyver Meal of course!

Had to write down what I did for this one, so I would remember... in case I want to make it somewhat on purpose next time... ;) and figured I'd share with you all as well. :) 

I almost always start any main meal with an onion, but I had no onion, so I chopped and sauteed... 

·               The last few stalks of a couple of celery hearts, including the leafy greens of the very inside ones.

·               And  one orange pepper

Minced

·               3 small garlic cloves and sauteed them for a bit

Added what was left of

·               1 carton of chicken stock in the fridge, and

·               1 carton of beef broth

Used one of my Christmas presents (a Kitchenaid Immersion Blender) to whip up those veggies so they wouldn't bother anyone. 　

Brought it to a boil and added

·               Two peeled, medium, chopped potatoes

·               Two peeled, large, chopped carrots

·               One bag of Ancient Grains (Bulgur and Quinoa) from Aldi

·               1 can of pumpkin puree

·               Some Orgininal Mrs. Dash Seasoning (1 tsp?) and

·               Sage  (1/2 tsp?) on its own for good measure

·               Pepper to taste

Brought to a boil again, and covered it, letting it simmer for 15 minutes

Added in

·               What we had leftover from a deli-roasted chicken (about 1 cup)

·               The end of a bag of  frozen corn (1/4 cup?)

·               About ½ cup of frozen French sliced green beans

Put the lid on and let that cook for another 5 minutes or so.

Served with

·               A dollop of sour cream

·               A sprinkling of Pepitas (roasted Pumpkin seeds)

The verdict here was thumbs up! :) 

If you make this let me know what you think ~ I'd love to hear how it works out for you.
The only other thing that I would suggest, is that those who want a little spice add a little Siracha, but other than that, I was pretty happy with it. ;) 

Blessings~
