The difference between Tuesday night and Wednesday night are huge. Tuesday night is still so much the beginning of the week and then Wednesday night you really feel like the week is almost over. Deep thoughts, I know. So all of a sudden, I feel like I need to start thinking about the weekend. I will save that fun list of activities, to-do lists and ideas until tomorrow and leave you with this. Lentils with Kale + Sweet Potatoes 
After being at Foodbuzz and in California all week I am excited to be back in my kitchen cooking! But after looking in my bare cupboards and through my empty, post-vacation fridge I lost some motivation to cook. The plan was to go to the store this morning but spinning and music class got in the way. So, I thought about Ashley’s motto for November “get shit done” and decided to make something from what I had, while Anna slept. 
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Can you see how this statement would apply to this fantastic Indian dish I created this week. Brady and I were in the mood for Indian and since my parents were not sold on the cuisine, I had to make it good. This came together with not too many ingredients and mostly things you keep on hand. Anna loved it too! Don’t be surprised if you see it again next week. 
So sick of this snow! Here is a delicious warm salad recipe to make when you are sick of making your usuals! I made this recipe up the other day when I was trying to use up my lentils and my box of Israeli couscous and some fresh produce from my new local veggie delivery (more on that soon!!). Here is a little info on Israeli couscous, also known as ptitim: it is a wheat-based baked pasta that is 
So Janelle (Brady’s sister) I have been on quite the lentil salad kick lately. This week when she came over for dinner we made up a new recipe! We based the recipe on what I had in my cupboar/freezer and it turned out really well! 1 bag (1lb) lentils 1 bag of frozen peppers and onions (or fresh would work!) 1/2 c. matchstick carrots 2 c. fresh spinach 1 T. cumin 2 T. lime juice 2 T. EVOO 
For Oglebay, I made a fun new lentil salad recipe. It was simple, fresh and super easy to make. First, I cooked the lentils (bring to a boil, then simmer until done). Then I chopped fresh green peppers, tomatoes and red peppers. I also chopped some matchstick carrots I had leftover in my fridge. My Pampered Chef food chopper is a great tool for this. Plus it goes in the dishwasher, which makes it so easy to use! Does |
