The effect it had on me . . . It was like, my mind went completely numb. My throat closed in. My racing heart came to an abrupt halt, and then forgot how to beat for a good 20 seconds. My eyes froze, cried a tiny river, and then found their new happy place. My [...]

Mini Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pies
Sooo, does a white plush robe, a broken wooden spoon, and my guidance towards little green lentils into a pot make me a shepherd? Hey, I just drove 14 hours all by my lonesome. I’m a little delirious in the membririous. I made these mini lentil sheps last week before I left for Arkansas and [...]
Lentil and Zucchini Tacos with a Chipotle Cream Sauce
(I need to take this moment to tell you that WordPress will not allow me to put tabs and spaces where I so desire, like in a research paper, so this entire post might look jank to the naked eye. A bottle of aspirin is advised. Thank you.) It’s AUGUST! Which normally I wouldn’t be [...]
Beef and Lentil Curry
OMG. Do you see that yellow glow coming from this pot o’ curry? Okay, ignore the yellow light reflection in the actual pot (photo shoot fail!) but look INSIDE at that rich, vibrant curry sauce that BEGS for your tongue to do the Electric Slide through it. That glow is turmeric. AKA: God’s gift to [...]
Indian-Spiced Roasted Vegetables Over Lentils
It’s time to be a good girl. It’s time to snuggle some vegetables, pony up to some fiber, group hug some fruit, and drink my way through an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Minus the chlorine. Not that I can’t appreciate a juicy mcgruicy burger from time to time, but after sampling 6 (SIX, you guys) of [...]

And then you drag yourself out to the garden, squinting into the blinding sun to check out what’s left of the season: kale, some herbs, a few tomatoes, weeds. WAIT, [...]
Grilled Chicken with Herbed Roasted Squash and Lentils
Something about today’s rumbling thunderstorms, a fresh, extra-blond summer ‘do, new brakes on the element and an overnight visit from my brother-in-law really had me craving grilled chicken with patty pan squash and lentils. IT DID. Okay it didn’t. You caught me. The meal was planned. BUT, something about today’s rumbling thunderstorms, a fresh, extra-blond [...]
A New Kind of Sauce
Can I see a show of hands of you who love eating pasta? Good, good. Now, can I see a show of hands of those watching their waistline? Yep, new year, makes sense. Lastly, can I see a show of hands of you who would like a healthier take on pasta with a rich sauce [...]
A Snow Poem
A blanket of white covers the city. I still had to work, oh what a pity. The heater and fireplace will work on overdrive. A 1 million dollar heating bill just to survive. I’m really okay with the snow, as long as I’m inside. Put me behind the wheel and I’ll immediately go blind. I’m [...]
Wild Salmon With Lentils
We have less than three weeks until Christmas. Did you know that? Are you done shopping? Is everything wrapped? Is your tree up? Are all your travel plans set in stone? Do you have to ship anything this year? Have you planned the Christmas menu? Why was Tumblr down so long? Am I stressing [...]
