10 months, 3 iPhones.

Seriously.

Apple is sending me my third phone this week. The one I currently have keeps spazzing out. It will be fine one second, not working at all the next second, and then completing freaking out the next.

Eeeeeesh. Here’s hoping that the third time truly is the charm

Last week, for the very first time, I made lentil soup.

I used a couple different recipes for inspiration and developed my own.

In the mix:

3 cups of water
1 3/4 cups of lentils (soaked the night before)
3 cups of vegetable broth
3 stalks of celery, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
1 can of low sodium tomatoes
a shake of oregano
a small spoonful of garlic puree
salt and pepper

I threw everything into my slow cooker (seriously, one of the best inventions since the beginning of mankind). It simmered for about 6 hours, and left me with tons of filling soup.

I ate it by itself, and also paired it with rice to form a bit of a lentil jambalaya.

I ended up having a lot of leftovers, so I have two big containers waiting for me in the freezer for the next time I come home from work and don’t feel like cooking (this will probably be tomorrow, haha).

Are you a lentil lover? What are some ways you eat them? I like to add leftover lentils into mac and cheese.

Also, if you didn’t see it yesterday, head on over to Sub-three to see the guest post I wrote for Charles…

Have a wonderful day!
