New Life

It's boot weather around here from now on. These are old, but trusty. And sexay. Or something like that. I experimented in the kitchen last night. The lentils? Perfect. I used black French lentils and they were yummy. I expect to dice up some onion, red pepper, maybe some cauliflower and broccoli and toss that into a warm bowl of lentils this weekend. We shall see what happens to them.

I also attempted a lemon tahini dressing. I seriously followed the directions. (I don't usually.) And well? It was really yucky. In the end, all I could taste was the olive oil. Blech. Not a winner. And sadly, I had high hopes for it being the dressing I'd toss with the lentils. There will be some googling going on today for an alternative.

But the winner was what I have termed Banana Soup for my breakfast this morning. I had two frozen bananas in the freezer and have been contemplating a use for them. So I whirled one up with some almond milk, a big scoop of protein powder, a small scoop of chia seeds and a teeny handful of chocolate chips. It got thicker overnight - that's what the chia seeds do. And then I plopped a handful of Kashi Go Lean Crunch in there and voila! Banana Soup!

In other news, it is the weekend. And I am very excited to sleep in tomorrow morning. Yeah!
