It has been a good day today. I was strong enough to pass up all the goodies that Grandma Great brought over for the family. Including: potato salad, coleslaw, roast beef, cake and cookies. I put a big pot of soup on first thing this morning and I have been picking away at it all day. It turned out really well.
Since the rice yesterday still needed a little work, I started with the leftover rice and vegetables in the pot, then I put in:
- 2 cups of green lentils
- 3/4 tsp of minced garlic
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp basil
- 9 cups of water
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 cube vegetable bullion
I cooked it all up together until the lentils were at the desired consistency. I ate it as a soup for lunch and then when I had it for supper, it was so thick, I had it over a bed of lettuce. It was really good!!

Lentils are so very yummy ! They were one of the very first beans that my son and hubby agreed to eat. I think it is because their taste and texture can come very close to meat, so they are more palatable to non bean eaters
