Hi foodies,
I woke up mighty late today, I guess that winter sportsmanship really wore me out (also, I may or may not have stayed up late watching the Food Network cake competitions…)
Anyway, I did my treadmill thaaaang and then had brunch:
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1 cup water
- 1 banana
- 1 diced prune
- 2 diced dried apricots
- roasted almonds
- some Honey Almond butter
Also, a small cup of coffee with my vitamin yo
(if you care for alive fish a lot)
My grandma’s psyched to cook it up.
Lentil Bean Soup
- 1 cup lentils
- 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can diced tomatoes (I had ones seasoned with basil and oregano, which helped).
- 1 small sweet potato (all I had!)
- 1/2 an onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons tomato pure
- salt & pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of cumin
- some chili/paprika
Directions:
Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil and add lentils. Bring down to a simmer. In the meantime, saute chopped onion and garlic in a oiled pan until onions are browned slightly. Add the 2 tablespoons of tomato pure and mix well. Add to the lentils.
Then add the rinsed beans, the can of tomatoes and the chopped sweet potato. Add more water if necessary. Add the cumin, lemon juice and season to taste. Let simmer on medium to low heat for about half an hour, stirring occasionally and testing frequently for the needed addition of spices.
I enjoyed my bowl with a piece of toasted Arnold’s Natural Flax & Fiber bread.
To polish off my dinner, I had some tiny apple slices, 1/2 a banana and some grapes:
My friends and I are going to see The Bad Plus tonight in the City. The show only starts at 11 though, so I’m going to be up pretty late.
Have a good night all!
That soup looks really good … i love beans. I might have to try that recipe sometime! : ) thanks for sharing.
Hmmm…I’m not sure how many servings the soup makes…but if we’re talking cups, I think it’s about 4-5 cups roughly!
What a cute witto apple.
It’s tiny!
That soup looks fab! Do you have any idea how many servings that recipe makes?
Soup looks good!
Fish! Yum!
And I must say, love Food Network myself too!
That is a ton of fish. Your dad is seriously about his ice fishing!
Your soup sounds really good. Homemade soup is the absolute best!
The idea of making soup from scratch kind of intimidates me. I know, how lame is that! Yours looks mighty loaded and delicious. I’ll have to give it a go one of these days.
Tkhnas for sharing. What a pleasure to read!
