Okay. Back to our regularly scheduled eating plan. Our fridge was so empty last night but I was inspired to try and come up with something from the cupboard instead. Soup is my go-to quick meal so I was already figuring on that. After a quick perusal I found orange lentils and split peas. I chopped an onion and threw it in the warm olive oil. I sweat them until they were soft and just starting to color - about 15 minutes. Then I added the garlic. I used about 5 cloves, minced. I let them cook for about 5 minutes and then I added the lentils and peas along with 2 containers of veg broth. I had some sliced sun dried tomatoes and some freshly dried spicy oregano from my garden so I added them as well. After the peas and lentils were cooked, I added some smoked paprika and cayenne.
And it was good.
Today I need to get some fresh veggies (and bread and eggs and juice and everything).
A little tip! I like the bubbly part of soda so we make juice soda. I use about 1/6 soda to a can of some type of bubbly water. My favorite juice is seltzer water with peach-orange-mango juice. It's really lovely.
