Dinner. We eat it every single day. It’s not a surprise when the time for dinner rolls around again. Kids, especially, want to eat. Yet sometimes dinner time just seems to sneaks up on me and then I have no idea what we’ll be eating. Yikes. This surprise feeling happens way more than I’d like to believe! Today wasn’t so bad. I had a general idea of what food I wanted to try and throw together. But honestly, I do somewhat enjoy the challenge of seeing if I can come up with something interesting, healthy, and that the kids will eat – all with no planning! Sticking with my healthy theme, I wanted lentils and whole grain basmati rice. To start things off with the vegetables, I used coconut oil and added onions, celery, yellow peppers, one hot red chili pepper, and spinach. Spices included a teaspoon each of turmeric, coriander & cumin, some cinnamon, and garlic. Finally, I added full cream. It smelled pretty good, so I served the vegetables on the rice with a dallup of whole fat Greek Style yogurt on top. Phew! Finished just in time to eat and get the kids to their Irish dancing class!
i would eat that for the colours alone, Dana!
Thanks Susan! The kids loved that it was luminous yellow!
I forgot to say that I cooked the lentils separately for about 45 minutes in water with a bay leaf. 🙂
